Cabin Time!

Last month we journeyed into Wisconsin and stayed at a friend's cabin. Below is the view from the deck. We had such a fun time there and lots of solace.


Making Gavin's cheeks pucker always makes him smile!

Here we all are in the woods on a WORM HUNT ... the city boys are digging around under some leaves looking for a worm for Nathan to use as bait for his very first time of fishing! It's really too bad that Grandpa wasn't there being that he's the one who bought him his first little fishing pole. I told him, "Boppa gave you that fishing pole!"

And here is our little fisherman! I love this picture ----- the picture of solace! I'm not sure if Nathan really understood what he was waiting for but it's still very cute to see him holding a fishing pole and trying to fish.


They had a giant sandbox and the boys spent a ton of time playing in the sand. We really have to get one of these for our own backyard! (I am contemplating trying to make one myself!)


Little Gavin - the look on his face is saying, "I'd rather be walking!"

They also had a giant trampoline!!! Another first for Nater - he was hesitant at first but once he got the hang of it he liked this jumping thing!

Daddy and Nater on the trampoline - I'm not sure what they're doing. I think John fell down!

And ending with another moment of solace!!! What a great weekend.



Memorial Day


I am adding some of my favorite pictures taken so far this summer. This one was taken on our walk on a woodsy trail in Shoreview on Memorial Day.

the Baby update

Baby Gavin is still not walking at almost 14 months. I still can't bring myself to cut his baby hair yet...love those little curls. This picture is one of my faves. More photos soon!

The Cake!

Gavin was slow to enjoy his birthday cake - his first taste of sweet food.
Hmm...this tastes different!
I think I might want some more of this...
Now I've got it down, this calls for applause!

One Year Old!

TODAY Gavin is one year old. We celebrated with family and Godparents yesterday. His birthday party was a puppy dog theme...
He posed nicely for a picture just like the ones of Paula and I - when we were little Mom would take our picture atop the table right next to our birthday cakes.
Wake up, Gavin, you haven't even eaten your cake yet!
He opened up many nice birthday presents from everybody!

At the Park




Question?

John and I have a running joke now - so often Gavin has this cute little look on his face like he is asking a question.

Time for Fun!
