Talking, Walking, and Singing

Things are moving at warp speed these days. Greta is walking and starting to talk. Lucy loves to sing, sing, sing. It's so much fun! I apologize that I don't have a lot more to say...but I think the recent video's speak for themselves.

Greta's first true word...BALL!

It's Beginning....

Great picture of Happy!

...to look a lot like Christmas. Minnesota is looking a lot like, well, Minnesota after this weekends snowfall. Although Lucy was around last winter, this really was the first time that she's seen snow...and she cannot stop talking about the "snowbbb" and the "icshe". She even brought a snowball into the house which I tried to save for her in the freezer. But, after about 7 seconds of patient waiting, she wanted me to open the freezer again so she could touch, admire, and then eat the snowball. That's our Lucy.

...to get much closer to Thanksgiving. And with each passing day, I get a little more "excited" about our epic road trip to Missouri. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see Molly, Ryan, Marina, Mom, and my newest nephew Teddy. But the thought of 8-10 hours in a car with Lucy (23mo), Greta (6mo), and Grandpa (86yrs) seems a bit daunting. I hope someday I'll be able to look back on this "Epic Journey" and laugh. I hope!

Sister, Sister

If a picture was worth a thousand words...

Its so much fun to watch Lucy and Greta enjoy each other. They're always so happy when they are around each other. It's amazing.

Fall Family Photo Shoot

We were so lucky that the rain held out long enough for us to meet-up with Kimberly for a fall photo shoot. She claims on her site that the light wasn't great...but I'm already loving the pics and can't wait to see the entire lot. :)

Enjoy!

Summer may be coming to an end...but Norm soaks-up a few more rays on the boat.

What are these girls Doing??? :)

Labor Day Weekend

More than any other year, this Labor Day felt like the end of summer. The weather was cool and it was our last scheduled visit to the cabino for quite some time. Kind of sad that we have to wait a whole year to swim at the sandbar again, take a golf cart ride with Lucy, or enjoy a mojito on the deck at sunset. But, on the other hand I look forward to next summers cabin-time when Greta is big enough to go on boat rides, swim in the pool, and ride in the bike cart with Lucy. Oh how things will change by next summer.

Sisterly Love

If these images don't melt your heart I don't know what will? Lucy loves Greta so much and I hope they stay friends like this forever.
