The Peterson Family

Although life sounds busy, we spend tons of time together. We enjoy going to sporting events, camping, out to eat, visiting family in Wisconsin and spinning class (we do 3x a week at the YMCA). Ryan has "made" Kristy a spinner and to encourage Kristy to keep up with Ryan on his road bike he bought her a tandem bike (and Andrew goes in the bike trailer)! Andrew is such a good baby and we have been able to take him with us everywhere we go. He is going to be well traveled.

2007 was full of many blessings and transitions for the Peterson Family.
