Hard to believe that Brayden is one month old already! Between sleeping, feeding, napping, and playing with a very imaginative 2 year old, the days have all kind of run together and a month has gone by quickly (except in the wee hours of the morning- then time goes a little too slowly). We’re still (Read the Rest…)

Brayden is now two weeks old and we’re all doing okay! Josh and I are both a little sleep deprived and the postpartum hormones cause an occasional tear here and there, but for the most part, I’m feeling a lot better this time around; knowing what to expect with a newborn sure has made a (Read the Rest…)

Love the pictures! I have one with you, Steph in pigtails, leaning over and giving Thomas a kiss when he was a newborn! How the years have flown!! I agree, I see more "Keck" than "Hall" in Brayden. Love to all!
I’m into the final week of this pregnancy and am definitely ready to meet this baby! I’ve been quite uncomfortable over the last few weeks with swollen legs/feet and sore joints; the belly is bigger this time around which doesn’t help my comfort level! This pregnancy has also been different in the fact that I (Read the Rest…)

Oh so precious!! Love your smirk Steph and Lauren's peace signs! Love and miss you all soooo very much – still counting on Wednesday! Love, Laurie
At 2 1/2 years old, we figured Lauren was ready for her first haircut (and the fact that her hair was looking pretty scraggly). It was more of a trim since I didn’t want to cut off the natural curl and, thankfully, the curls remain. We were a little nervous about how she would behave (Read the Rest…)

It looks like Lauren fared MUCH better than Annie during her first haircut! Wouldn't it be fun if she had those beautiful curls for good??
If you haven’t heard by now, we’re expecting again! Baby #2 is due March 28th and so far it has been an uneventful pregnancy. I’ve been feeling good, just tired, and this past week I’ve been feeling definite kicks and movement of the baby. The ultrasound is Friday so we are looking forward to seeing (Read the Rest…)

Thanks for posting the pics! She was a darling snow white. Steph you look great — and I think I have to agree with Erin I'd love to know the gender this time. But I can wait if you do too! We loved having her visit this weekend — she is so entertaining!
Lauren made it to the MN State Fair for her third year and it wouldn’t have been complete without a picture of her in cheese on a stick cut-out! We spent almost a whole day there, longer than we anticipated, because the day was so nice and Lauren was having such a good time. Besides (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, love the pictures of you at your third State Fair . . . how those years have flown by! You're going to love those scary rides like your mom does, aren't you! You and Grandpa Nick will have to eat some corn-on-the-cob together . . . he can show you how to really make those kernels fly! Can't wait to see you soon! Love and kisses from Grandma Mary
Our summer travels continue and the last few weekends have included one trip back up to Grafton and two trips to the lake. The trip home again was for my cousin Mark’s wedding- he and Andrea had a beautiful outdoor reception at the Park River Bible Camp. Lauren’s favorite part of the reception was the (Read the Rest…)

You have had a busy, fun summer! Love all the pictures from the family gatherings.
It was great to see the pictures from your weekend at the lake! The kids have all grown up so since I saw them last at Lauren’s 1st birthday. Looks like you had a wonderful time even without the nice warm temperatures. Glad the fish were accommodating allowing for some great pics and fish stories. Lauren, you must have lured those fish in with your Dora fish bait:) Love, Nana Jo
We spent the 4th of July in Park River, ND, and had a great day with the Halls. My cousin Bjorn, his wife Sveta and their daughter, Bianca, made the trip from the east coast and we got to celebrate Bianca’s 2nd birthday with her! Lauren loved being one of the gang- my cousins’ kids (Read the Rest…)

We celebrated Annie’s first birthday a couple weeks ago and had a great time in Fargo with family. It is so fun to watch Lauren and Anne together- they entertained us all with the Busy Ball Popper (which I would highly recommend for a child’s birthday present) and enjoyed playing with Anne’s new Dora kitchen.

The girls are so adorable!!! My thoughts and prayers are with Joe and Erin…for patience and a speedy recovery.
Lauren had a fun birthday weekend at the lake! Grandma Mary and Bumpa Nick joined us at Keck’s cabin with Opa Rob, Nana Jo, Auntie EJ and Annie. Josh and I had been preparing her all week for the activities of the weekend and it wasn’t long before she was rattling off her guests, her (Read the Rest…)

Oh – I was waiting for these photos! Josh – they are awesome!! Am so lonesome for all of you! Can’t wait to see you over the 4th! Much love, Great Auntie Laurie
We spent Memorial weekend at the lake and what a fun weekend it was! The weather was great and we all enjoyed spending time outside in the sun. Lauren and Anne loved playing with the water table on the deck; it was a little too cold to take a dip in the lake so the (Read the Rest…)

Thanks for the great pictures! It is always a treat to have you all at the lake. The girls look so comfortable in their “boat coats.” Hopefully it will warm up soon so we can get into the lake:) Lauren, I think you enjoyed the smores as much as you do your BACON! Love you all, Nana Jo
May has been a kind of a slow month for us- we’re just enjoying the nice weather, going out on our rollerblades, getting the yard cleaned up… basically just relaxing before the craziness of summer begins! We’ve also spent an afternoon at Canterbury, visited the zoo, and spent a weekend in St. Cloud where Lauren (Read the Rest…)

Looks like we’ll need the pony here this summer, Lauren, won’t we? You are getting so grown up! Great picture of the BIG “ponies”, too, Josh! Miss you guys . . . hope you are having this GREAT weather at the lake! Love, Grandma Mary
