Towels

Nadia's new favorite past time.  She loves clothes (must be a girl thing), and apparently my dish towels resemble them - she loves to try and put everything over her head, and mommy loves to refold the towels 18 times a day!

FIVE

Our baby boy is five.  He loves playing animals, reads level 1 books, shares everything with his brother, so sweet with babies, great soccer goalie, brave enough to jump off the diving board, that's our soon to be kindergartener Brennan!

Finally . . .

After being sick for well over a month, she was finally feeling well enough for us to give her that little nudge she needed.

All dressed up

The kids looked adorable and did a great job at their cousin's wedding this past weekend. The preparation for the wedding was so exhausting for Nadia, she decided to just sleep through the entire ceremony!  Thank you Erica and Erik for letting us be part of your special day.

Camping - boys only!

Troy took our boys along with the dads of our church group and their boys and headed for duluth, gooseberry falls.  Hiking, spearfishing leeches, leaping over rocks, seagull attacks were just a few memories brought back.  Despite the fact that they had no fruit or veggies all weekend, I'm so thankful my hubby is such a great dad to do these kind of male bonding trips with them.

First Swim

Nadia Loves the pool, just like her brothers!!

Kobe's inventions

He definitely has his grandpa's genes.  He sees something, he makes it.

poor baby

Poor Nadia, she's been sick lately.  She had a bacterial infection with which we are on our second antibiotic.  She also had some kind of virus in her mouth with white sores preventing her to eat much of anything.  I think she felt good for one day, and now her bottom molars are super swollen.  Please say a prayer for nadia, and patience for mommy.
