Zach was so excited about the primary program at church.  They made invitations in sharing time to give to a friend, and he invited his little buddy from preschool, who ended up coming with his dad and sister!  Zach was so happy.  We have 140 + kids in our ward, so their parts for the…

I set him down where I am standing to take the picture, put something away in the bathroom, and walked back to find him making his way to here… watch out world, somehow I don't thing crawling is that far away.   

Oh, that summer here in Minnesota could last forever!  The summers are just gorgeous!  Fall has always been my favorite season… but with summer so beautiful and winter coming after fall, I haven't been as excited about it as usual.  And Emma, my water girl, couldn't agree more.  She says, laughing, "I want to play…

Our little guy LOVES to be outside!  This was taken in his favorite spot… under the trees in the shade of the garage where he and I have spent many summer afternoons watching the big kids play.  He loves to look up at the trees blowing in the wind and is just so happy!  This…

Nate had a dinner for work on Friday, but had told the kids we could maybe camp out… I had given Emma a nap just in case, but when he didn't get home till 8:30 I figured we'd try another night.  Nate is a nicer parent, however… and Emma was so excited he couldn't say…

As on many mornings – I woke up to find Zach dressing Emma in baseball gear.  And Dad built a dugout in the backyard… so it was a baseball day.  As are most days around here!  We really can't get enough…   

Here is Emma in her big girl bed – freeing up the toddler bed/crib for Carter (once he and I stop sleeping on the couch).  Be impressed – since it was a low-budget item Nate and I had to put it together piece by piece… we are expert craftsmen.  The funny thing is, now she…

When I was tucking Zach in tonight, he said, "Do you know what Logan said today?  'Missed me, missed me, now you have to kiss me!'".  It brought back a flood of memories of those things all elementary school kids say… what do you think he'll bring home next?  

They don't call it that for nothing, that's for sure!  Emma's preschool group had been talking about the book Ping which is about a duck, so we thought it would be fun to go feed some ducks at a little lake downtown.  It was!  I also thought (given how often I have to tell my kids…

To celebrate his 5 month mark, Carter decided to roll over, both ways.  He has been so much more comfortable sleeping on his tummy!!  Hooray for you, little man!
