Fishing Time

It is that time again, when Nick and Addy spend as much time as they can ice fishing. Here are a few snapshots of Addy on a couple occasions. She isn't afraid to kiss a minnow. She looks forward to packing special snacks to take along. She even brings along a luggable loo (plastic bag she is holding.)

Bill and Sara's Wedding

We had a great time in December at Bill and Sara's wedding. It was decorated beautifully. My favorite decorations were the candleholders made of ice outside the church. A good time was had by all.

Will is 1

We celebrated Will's birthday over the weekend! I took his clothes off hoping he would dig into his mini cake and make a huge mess, but he didn't. As you can tell, he thought carefully about whether he should have some or not. He decided not. We are having trouble getting him to eat (look at those skinny arms!) I will post more pictures soon!

partying with friends

We hosted a small pre-Halloween party at our home. The Kampsen and Klaphake families joined us. Addy just loved having friends over to play.

fall leaves

We had a great time picking apples and playing in the leaves. Grandma and Jodi came over to our house and we made 7 apple pies...yum! Will enjoys sitting in the cozy coupe. He turns the steering wheel and a motor-like noise. What a boy!

Jodi's first marathon

Jodi finished the Twin Cities Marathon in 4 hours and 41 minutes. She navigated through pouring rain and thousands of runners to complete the 26.2 mile course. Here are several pictures taken throughout the day. We made a sign that said "Go Jods" and waited to cheer her on at the 22 mile checkpoint. Mom and Dave waited at the finish line to congratulate her. Great job, Jodi! What's next for Jodi?...the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Antonio, Texas on November 16.
