The past two weekends Lauren and I spent some time making some of my favorite cookies. Lauren is very into tasting each ingredient so it was interesting to watch her reaction as she tasted sugar, molasses, flour, etc. Who knew a kid would like to eat plain old flour? We made my Grandma’s Ginger Snap (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, You and Mommy and Daddy are super speedy pumpkin carvers! The cupcakes you helped make were cute and look yummy. I'm sure you had fun decorating them. Have fun charming the neighborhood in your princess costume tonight. Love you.
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
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…)

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…)

We had a fun Easter weekend at home. It started with a family festival at church on Saturday morning where we made a flower pot, sang songs and Lauren got to hunt for Easter eggs. She loved opening the plastic eggs over and over again, whether there was a treat in there or not! Saturday (Read the Rest…)

We spent a wonderful week in Arizona visiting Rob, Joanne and extended family! It was a treat to get away from the cold weather for a while and we had some fun outings while we were there. Lauren did really well with all of the traveling and schedule changes. She was very happy to spend (Read the Rest…)

It was wonderful to have you all here. Lauren was such a little traveler — by car or backpack. We loved spending the week with you. The pictures of the Desert Botanical Gardens are beautiful! We are looking forward to seeing you back in Minnnesota soon–and picking up reading the “Itsy Bitsy Spider” again Lauren. And, just for the record, those pictures I took in Sedona do NOT accurately depict the severity of the “drop” below the stone bridge:) Love to you all, Nana Jo
Wow, I just realized we haven’t posted in a month! The last few weeks have been busy, starting with Josh and I traveling to Boulder, CO, for a family friend’s wedding. The weekend was great- Boulder is a cool city and the weather was perfect for walking around Pearl Street. Josh was their photographer for (Read the Rest…)

It was a chilly day cutting the tree, but loved having you with us! It’s just such a treat to have all of you home together. Those little girls bring a bundle of joy with them every time:) And it is such fun to watch them interact — lots of loving hugs, kisses and smiles to share. What a little bookworm Lauren is — she just loves to “read” and be read to. Love you all, Nana Jo
It’s been a while since our last post because there hasn’t been too much to report! We’ve had a lot of down time in the past month which has been really nice. November and December are looking quite busy already so we’ll enjoy these weekends of rest and relaxation! Josh did get out hunting last (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, you can make cookies for Bumpa next time he comes . . . especially the chocolate ones! Do you know how to make M & M'ies cookies yet? Can't wait to see you and Brayden and your mom and dad, too! Love and kisses from Grandma Mary
