In 1986 had Joshua, our first child and we bought our first home in Rosemount, MN in 1987. We moved to Mankato in 1993 and bought a 1950's house that needed an overhaul, but it sat on a double lot with a wooded ravine. So.... the last twelve years we've spent restoring it and adding to it. The original owners had a rock garden in the ravine and we have been uncovering some of it little at a time. We now have five children ages 22 to 10 yrs.
