About Us



Top: Mom & Dad - Chris & Eric
Bottom: The Kids - Alex & Sam


We're ecclectic and we like it that way. Variety is the Spice of Life.

Lekander Family Interests:

Movies, Movies, Movies
Some of our Favorites:
Little Miss Sunshine
Royal Tennenbaums
Sideways
The Graduate
The Departed
The Godfather Series
Goodfellas
O Brother Where Art Thou
50 First Dates
Tommy Boy
About a Boy
School of Rock
Life of Brian
Dodge Ball
Meet the Fockers
Zoolander
Hero
Kung-Fu Hustle
and the list could go on a long - long time.

Music - We play and we listen.
Eric plays guitar and piano, Alex plays piano, Sam Drums, and Mom listens (sometimes LOL) or plays the one song she knows on piano - Moonlight Sonata, and once in a blue moon we go Partridge Family and Mom Plays the Bass. Ha!
We listen to anything from Beethoven to the Beatles and whatever fits inbetween or on the fringe.

Writing
Dad writes Appraisal Reports and occassionally gets online to write a review.
Alex is master of stories about his personal experiences.
Sam is a master too, but from a different perspective.

Reading
Mom is The Self Help Junkie, but she also likes some fiction when she can fit it in.
Dad is into books about philosophy, music, and politics.
Alex really likes Frank McCourt ('Tis, Angela's Ashes)
And Sam reads here and there but would rather play drums, hockey, or football.

Hey Chris! I did't know your family had a blog too! It's cool. What an active family...You have land in MN? Wow. I'd love to have a property there. I've a friend who has a cabin somewhere there. I've never been but I saw this cool house being built by I think it was Hometime. It was beautiful country. We spend a lot of time in New Mexico, we have just been discovering Arizona, after having spent 4 days at the Grand Canyon and then going up into Utah to see Bryce & Zion. We want to see Sedona. I've never been there, but every time I say I love New Mexico, people say "well you love it because you haven't seen Sedona.

I like your house and the fact that all the 90 degree corners have been "eased". I'm big into remodeling and I am a skilled cabinet maker and trim carpenter, but I don't get to do that much anymore.

Anyway, check out my latest weight loss stats on my blog. Just stepping in to say hello. My best to you and your family.
