It's Harbor's Edge week at our church - that's our church VBS. This year we're running a sports camp for the kids - it's been fun. For the non-sports kids, there's drama. It's been a big hit. The kids are psyched....the volunteers are having fun. The only drawback...which hasn't seemed to affect attitudes...is that this is the hottest week we've had so far. It's been between 105-110 all week. Couple that with the smoky air from the wildfires....ugh!
Seth and I both very involved in Harbor's Edge this year....so Anders has been home with babysitters every night this week. He's done really well. We weren't sure how that would go since we rarely leave him with anyone, but we're pleased. One night, he even went to sleep before we got home. Maybe now that he's beginning to get past the clingy "I-only-want-Mommy-or-Daddy" stage and can stay with others without completely losing it, we'll try to go out one night.
Remind me again though...what does dinner look like without a bib, highchair, and chunks of food in the hair?

Start Something New....Again
So its been over a year since we posted anything here. We'll try to do better...starting today! A quick review from the last year...
ANDERS MCKAY LINDBERG
Little Anders was born June 8, 2007 - the cutest little guy ever! He came a little early which was a great surprise! He's been a blessing in our lives and we just can't imagine life without him. In November, we had him dedicated at church. Mama came out for that. It was a sweet morning at church. Teething has been our biggest challenge with Anders, coupled with learning how to sleep. He's got 5 teeth now - we're working on 6 and 7. An early walked, he's been running around the house since around 10 1/2 months. And at 12 1/2 months, Anders finally started sleeping through the night - PRAISE GOD!!! Today, Anders is a little go-getter, loves Payton, playing in water, and music. On Sunday mornings, he loves his chance at a mic in hand. He turned 1 almost a month ago - we had lots of fun watching him dig into his little drum cake. We celebrated here with friends and back in IL with family.
FAMILY
Largely due to Anders, we have several visits from family last year. Grandma came out for a couple visits, Papa & Mama, Uncle Steve & Aunt Karin, Grandpa and Nana and Uncle Alan, Aunt Christine, & Noelle. We had great times with everyone and were able to take a little day trips while they were here.
NO MORE RENTING...
In April, we were finally able to buy a house. The market out here has been absolutely crazy. Many have lost homes, but it is what enabled us to buy. We moved from Lincoln to Rocklin and we're loving how close we are to everything. And its great to have a place we can call our own. We've made progress, but we still have work to do. Someday we look forward to the final "after" picture.
BUSY BUSY BUSY
As usual, we continue to stay super busy. Right now, we're gearing up for our VBS Sports Camp that begins Monday. We're looking forward to the new sports element that's been added this year. And in just 3 weeks, our church's annual Great Escape Campout. It's one of our favorite events of the year. Papa & Mama will be out for that.
Anyway.....that's what has been happening these last several months.
Hope all is well with you!
