Kingbenny On Tour

Wow! The crowd was so large that the door of the Atomic Coffee House in Moorhead was propped open and some sat outdoors and listened. The spring evening air was wonderful!
The three hour performance was quite enjoyable.



(L-R) Chad Kramer on the bass, Ben Stockwell and Bruce Myers on the acoustic and vocals.


Ben gets some backup from his friend, Madison.

This afternoon, as we were looking at the flowerbeds, we found this little bat.

He didn't appreciate our attention while he was trying to nap.

Another Day in Vegas

Dane received this beautiful Moses basket from the doctor Amanda works with ~ he says Dane can sleep in it at the office. We think he's missing Amanda's help.

We think Dane might need these shades here in Vegas! Besides that he has to keep up with Uncle Benny in the shades department!

Dane spends some quality time with Daddy after he comes home from work.


Mike and Amanda went out for the evening while Grandpa and Grandma were here to babysit. Actually it was Grandpa and Grandma's idea, and they even trusted us with their precious baby!


Grampy and Dane got along just fine in the rocking chair!

We'll try this again!

After long neglect and with some gentle nudges from a few, we'll see what we can do to make a post on our blog! This blogging thing is great, but we are from the older generation, so we'll have to try to keep up with all you young bloggers! After all, we are grandpa and grandma now. By the way, this grandparenting thing is awesome!! Dane Mikkel is absolutely perfect. Now what else would a good grandpa and grandma say about their first grandchild ~ but really, he is perfect!

4-6-06 We finally meet our sweet new grandson. It was love before our first sight!

Dane Mikkel had so much to tell Grandpa and Grandma!


Grandpa says he remembers when my mom was this small and it wasn't that long ago!


Dane just had a bath


Amanda is a wonderful mommy.


Dane enjoying his "boppy". By the way...Uncle Ben, You really should have one of these!!



Mike had a baseball game. Some his fans came to watch but Dane didn't really see what was so great about baseball. (Dad is going to have to work on that)
