Finally, Pictures from our summer vacation

First we spent two weeks in WI, where we hung out with Mamo and Papa...

Went to the Zoo...

and Had a 6th birthday party for Lucas!

Next we went to Lake Washburn in MN, to partake in the traditional Pederson family vacation...

Then we went to Iowa for a week...

Then back to WI for another 2 weeks, which included a trip to Chicago.

It's been a nice trip, but it's time for it to end and for us to head back home. We had loads of fun seeing our family and hope we're able to visit more often.

The Bedroom Makeover

We have finally finished our bedroom makeover.  Well almost finished.  We still have to put up pictures and maybe find a new blanket for the bed because the old one was bought to match the color the room was when we moved in.


It was a good bit of work, but it was all worth it.  The room looks great.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Welcome to The Cackling Stump

Hello to all,


We've had many requests from family for pictures of the kids and other things going on in our lives.  To make it easy we've decided to make a blog that we can post to about all of it. 

Because we are big Harry Potter fans we decided to name it after something we all found fun from the world of Harry, thus the name "The Cackling Stump."


We hope you will enjoy the new family blog.
