Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Look at my littlest son's beautiful, lengthy hair. Isn't it gorgeous? Well, today it was buzzed off. After a few weeks of saying "No way", I finally caved and let Chris take Elliot to get his hair cut. It is not his first cut, but I really loved his long hair and how crazy it was all the time. So, here is my son now. He's still adorable and much less sweaty. -RL

Summer Fun in Brainerd! Part 2: Schmeck's House

We set up a baby pool, a big kid pool, and a slip n' slide at Grammy & Boppa Dale's. It was very hot and a perfect day for some water fun.



I love these guys. They are so nice to each other and really have fun together. They would rather be together than apart and they don't seem to tire of one another. It's such a cool thing to see them become so close. -RL

Summer Fun Kicks Off In Brainerd! Part 1: The Roger's House

We just got back from trip to Brainerd/Baxter to see friends Cynthia and Mike and her parents, Susan and Al. And of course, Grammy and Boppa Dale, and uncles Derek & Brian and aunts Kendra & Melissa. It was a great time, the weather was beautiful and we hit the lake quite a bit.
Elliot does this big frog hop thing that is too funny. Here he is mid-hop.

Ethan's Soccer Camp




Ethan has been doing Great Britain's Challenger Soccer Camp this week. He's never played soccer before, but seems to like it a lot. He also likes his British coaches and has a lot of fun with them. -RL

Elliot Stellan turns 2!!

My littlest E turned 2 on May 23rd. We had a small party for the small guy. We had both grandparents and Auntie Sara and friend Julie in attendance. Ethan got to play baseball with both Boppa's so he was very happy and could have played all day.
