3 Month picture Collage

I love Pecan the hamster! See how wet and slimy he is? I chewed and spittied on him until he looked like a drown rat! He's wet now, but tomorrow he'll be crusty until Dad washes him...


This picture below is all blurry! All except my dazzeling eyes....

Wedding Weekend

We went to my cousin Sina's wedding in Ellsworth, Wi. Got some nice pictures of Luke and I and Katie and I. Very nice wedding!

Went to Como Park. I got to ride my first Carousel! Erik Did too. I almost got dizzy. It was a LOT of fun. Erik just stared and stared at the center of the carousel.

Erik was SO out of his routine and mixed up, but he NEEDED this nap on the way home. I sat in the back and thought he was especially cute in his carseat.

Visit from the Ryan Fenton Family

Frownie face and Smiley face

Time to put on your Jam Jams

Erik in some cute puppy jammies....

Daddy's Gone

Erik and I are having Mommy and Baby time. Luke is running a relay race today and he and his team will be running through the night. I figured I better update the blog since Luke has neglected to do so this week...

A river runs through it/ Luke and Cori run through Britt

We usually have a tiny creek that runs behind these trees. It is not usually visible from this vantage point. I figure the swell is about 20 feet wide after the storm that came through Rochester on Friday the 13th.
We are on our way to watch the runners in the Hobo Run. Cori and Luke participated and ran the 10K.

They both placed! It was so humid that morning, you could SEE the humidity in the air (literally).
Shelby wanted to help feed and care for Erik. She fed him his WHOLE bottle and only needed a little help with positioning him for burping. She also performed 90% of the diaper change! What a good girl. She says she wants to be a Mommy when she grows up.

Daddy Day Care Day #1

This is Day one of Daddy day care. Did I make a mistake leaving them home together??? Boys, I tell ya!




Where's Erik? His eyes are so aware!!!

Learning to use Picasa to it's fullest extent...

I made a collage. Will put at my desk at work.

This isn't very exciting, but thought the Grandparents might enjoy the clip...

Last Day of Maternity Leave...

I decided to get out the High Chair that Katie H. gave us for shower gift...It says it is for 0-36 months or something like that. So here is Erik demonstrating the use. It looks like a recliner chair. I like the tray to put toys on. This is just another place for him to take a catnap in. Kaiser posed for the picture also.

Cute expression...

I like this look too, every child has a picture with a blanket on their head, right?

Erik had a long day out in the heat with only small naps. When we finally got home, at bedtime, we swaddled him up, and put him in the swing. He was asleep in no time. I decided to leave the socks off so he could cool off a bit, but I didn't want his feet to get cold, so I compromised by pulling his jammies 1/2 way over his feet and letting his lower half out of the swaddle. Luke thought it was terribly cute.

Throw back...

This picture is a throwback to when Erik was 4 weeks old. This is not a comb over or a toupe, It's Tante Katie's ponytail. Do you think Erik's hair will be this color?

Such a little man...

August 6, 7

Erik Wore this 3-6 month size vikings sleeper for the first time. It is very snug in the length! He may not wear it too many times more, so I figured I better take a picture to remember it by....



I had to get my Vikings shirt out of the closet to pose w/ him. Training camp is in full swing I guess...

Ryan is even wearing a vikings shirt, should have kept the outfit on during the day too...

We went to visit the Goat farm in Mabel. Ava and Annika fed the goats feed from a coin operated machine. Luke, too cheap to buy feed, approached the goats with an empty but cupped hand. They were still excited.

Two Babies

New Toys found second hand.

This is one in a million! I love it! Kaiser Yawning.
