All right, I have compiled some of the latest pictures. My camera isn’t working the best so I don’t have a ton to choose from at the moment, but here’s a few.

Dane looking like a big boy!

This one’s for you grandma! Catch a glimpse of that hair before daddy cuts it all off!

Ryan enjoying ice-cream on Christian’s Birthday.

Christian on his Birthday.

My recent favorite picture. Dane helping daddy install the new dishwasher.

This is how the boys showed up in my office the other day. Our feet got a little dirty they proclaimed.

Dane at the Animal Farm on Christian’s Birthday.

Christian Petting the goats on his Birthday.

Dane looking innocent at church during the VBS Program. He was not in the mood to sit in a pew. He only looks innocent – he was not the most cooperative.

I am checking to see if I can figure out how to put a picture in here. So here goes nothing! Here are the boys on the day after Christian’s B-day (We did his cake a day late because we went out of town for his birthday.)

Dane is 20 1/2 months old already and he is beginning to talk. I thought it would be fun to share his current vocabulary. So here you go – from the mouth of Dane.

Thanks to the wonderful help of my online friend Susanne, this blog is just about set-up. It wouldn’t have happened without her, so thanks again Susanne! Susanne and I met online and we have become good friends. We co-own www.healthymenumailer.com and we enjoy chatting via instant messenger almost every day. She has recently left her job to stay at home with her little girl and to work at home – like myself. Some of her web-sites include:
www.kinderinfo.com
www.mypottytraining.com
www.walkingofftheweight.com
www.healthandbeautyinfo.com
www.phonicreadingprogram.com/

So as you can see, she is a pretty talented lady! As a small thank-you to her for helping me set-up this site, please take a few minutes to visit her websites.

Stay tuned for actual family updates very very soon!

Hi There! I am excited to finally be setting up a blog (online journal) to share our family stories and pictures. This will be a fun way to keep in touch with all our friends and family we left behind when we moved from WA to IL. I don’t have the site totally set-up yet, but I thought I would give the first post a try.

Please feel free to share the link to this site www.steendahl.net with those you know who would enjoy it. I am counting on you to get the word out to those who may be interested.

Also, feel free to hit the comment button below each post to leave your comments. We love to hear from you!
