Minnesota State Fair

We went to the state fair on Friday with Pete, Chris & Emily, Connor, and Evalyn.  We love going to the fair each year.  Unlike last year, Addie was old enough this year to enjoy the good food (I mean deliciously greasy, salty, and sugary foods) that the fair has to offer!  Addie and Evalyn are in the Sheep Building doing some kiddo activities.

Adeline getting her first (and only!!) "Tattoo"...this may be the only tattoo that daddy will ever encourage...

"I love Lamb" (remember, we were in the sheep building where all things are about sheep/lamb)

At the home front...in addition to getting her first tattoo at the fair, Addie has not only started to "drive" but also talks on her phone while driving...oh boy!

no baby here...such a big girl, sitting at her little table having a snack!

Dinner at grandpa's house

Uncle Pete was in town from California this past weekend.  We hadn't seen him since Christmas so it was so nice to see him!

Last day of swimming...lovin' every minute

Slides, Smiles, Snacks & Sunglasses...

I love her expression...just loving life!

sliced apples...Addie's snack of choice these days

Addie saw some women with their sunglasses on top of their heads, so she thought she'd try it out too...

Friends

Adeline and Henry had a playdate over at our house.  I love watching these two interact and play together.  There's always a nice hug at some point in their playdates...very sweet.

If I were an outsider looking at this picture, I'd think the kiddos are participating in some type of an exercise class...funny thing is, I have no idea what they were doing.  It sure is funny though!

Welcome Walter!  We went to the airport to welcome Nate, Liz, and their son Walter from Korea on Thursday night.  After hours of travel, they made it home safe and sound!

It was so exciting to see them come in at their gate.  Bringing this little guy home has been an answer to prayer for Liz, Nate & their family.  God is good and faithful, and we certainly celebrate with them!  Henry is going to love being a big brother!

Road Trip: Hayward, Wisconsin

What a fun weekend we had with my cousins at their family's lake home in Wisconsin!  Joel & Hye-Young flew in from NYC for the weekend as well.  All I can say is FUN was had by all!  Thank you cousins for your amazing hospitality!

Out for breakfast: Lumberjack Pancake House

Looking so grown up using a fork and feeding herself...

Patrick's first try at wakeboarding...he did great!

Can you believe Addie went tubing with us?!  She wasn't afraid at all and loved it!
