Here is our apartment building! We are not unhappy with it, as student housing goes. We are on the 3rd floor, no elevator, no air conditioning, and the door frames slant to the right, but...

The building on the right is Caleb's school, Ray Elementary. It is HUGE - 800 students, pre-K to 6th grade. It was quite shock for him (and Mom!) coming from Live Oak, which had 43 students total last year! Caleb has regular Spanish classes and is looking forward to being in Chess Club in the next school year.

This is my school! I was on a committee this year to try to get some artwork and/or plants to liven up the front of the building. It would help, don't you think???

And, finally, Augustana Lutheran Church in Hyde Park (and Lutheran Campus Ministry!) It is extremely hard to get a picture of the church. This one is actually from the 80's, I think! The seminary is directly across the street, and Caleb's school is two blocks away. When we walk out of our back door, we look down the alley at the church. Who needs a car, anyway?
