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…)

I don’t think we know exactly why, but last week we decided to transition Lauren to what we tell her is a “Big Girl Bed”. Maybe it was the traveling we’ve done this summer and the realization that Lauren is quickly out growing the pack-n-play crib. More likely though it was that strange desire to (Read the Rest…)

Lauren — You look so proud of your big bed! And such a big girl to STAY in the big bed. It was great to see you last weekend at the lake. Hopefully Lauren's bug bites didn't swell up after you all left! Her little body definitely doesn't like our Minnesota bugs. Love you all, Nana
This is what happens when you take a leisurely walk around the block and fail to realize that your daughter is keeping up remarkably well because she’s being carried by a mosquito attached to the side of her head. The photos are from the following day when Lauren got the brunt of the swelling. Daycare (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, what a bad bite! Glad you don’t have any of those West Nile skeeters in MN! Your new bed looks fun . . . now Grandma won’t have to lift you over that big rail when she tucks you in. Can’t wait to see your sweet face! (and your mommy and daddy, too!) Love you, Grandma Mary
Thanks to Bumpa Hall, I had the chance to sneak out to Hazeltine on Monday morning and watch the first practice round of the PGA Championship. After spending an extra 15 minutes on the shuttle to the course thanks to a driver that didn’t know how to get there, I was immediately surprised to see (Read the Rest…)

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.

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.

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…)

Looks like you guys had tons of fun @ the lake. Wish i could have been there with you. The girls are getting so big and looks like they are having fun together.
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…)

These pictures make my head start singing “Singin’ in the Rain…just singin’ in the rain…”. She’s such a cutie!!!!!
I had a surprise visit from my family a couple of weeks ago- it was a total shock to come home from work and find them all there waiting! I was pretty emotional at first, but after they assured me that it was just a fun surprise, I was able to relax and calm down (Read the Rest…)
