The Zoo

Auntie Jackie, Cousin Darius and Cousin Stella made the trip down to our house for a weekend.  We had a great time and visited Como Zoo.

Yes, they match.  Soon they will refuse this - we are taking advantage of this cuteness while it will last.

Needless to say, all the kids crashed on the way home after a day outside at the busy zoo.

Oh how I do love thee sleep.

After a very busy week visiting places around Minneapolis, a drive up north, a birthday party, playing outside and enjoying a bonfire these little girlies gave us a wonderful gift of sleep until 11:00 AM!

Meeting new faces

Nora got to meet Cousins Mandy and Sam!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Jareth is 26 today!  According to Minka, he is two.  Happy Birthday!!

All Smiles

Some people told us we got lucky with our first child.  So mellow and well behaved.  Certainly we would have a terror for number two.  Nora proves that incorrect.  She is such a happy and calm baby!!

Here she is one early morning, couldn't be happier!

 

 

 

Sauce Boss

This little girl is getting big.  As you can see, she is on her play phone at dinner and as she says it, "Mom, I'm talking to Stella!"

Friends

We were able to visit these cuties in the beginning of June.

Throwing bread for the birds.  Grandma was Mother goose and these three followed her around like her goslings.

Playing is tough work.  This was what the majority of the ride home was like.

Sisters

Nora likes to sit up and watch whats going on.  I left her sitting here by herself and while I was away someone snuck right in.  She wasn't suspicious at all.

Another day, Nora was a bit fussy and Minka shared her beloved Franky "so she won't be sad".  So sweet.

What a doll

This little girl is getting very big.  She is fully potty trained and only uses diapers when we sleep at a grandparents house.  She has been using a little potty but after she was able to climb up on the big potty by herself we made the switch pronto.  Only big potties for this one now.

3 months

Time is flying! Miss Nora is 3 months old. For her big day she got to use her exersaucer for the first time and she decided she would like to start rolling!
