Falling in Fargo

We recently spent an extended weekend in Fargo, ND visiting Tim's cousin Amy and her husband David and daughter Allison. Unfortunately, we hardly have any pictures of the trip, but here is one of Sam standing by himself!

"whoa, this balance thing is tricky...."


"crawling might be my thing for a while...." :)


Here is David trying out for the yellow belt in Taekwondo. "The seed is beginning to see the sunlight." He did really well!


Hy-ah!


The week before we left, we had a little visitor, Carly. Here, she is enjoying some bread and pears.


Sam and Carly wanted to go shopping...


While Gretta modeled what they bought :)


Gretta, did you happen to see my stickers?


Learning about shadows.


Gretta feeding Sam. She ate up every moment. Though they are almost the same size, this somehow worked.



One weekend day, Tim and I looked at the clock, and then outside. What should we do all day since we can't go outside and play? So Gretta and Sam got new 'dos.




Playing together so nice...for a while at least.


Clothes from Carly and her Mom for Gretta until Carly is big enough to wear them...the beauty of hand-me-downs! Thank you!

"Moooooommmmm, this doesn't match!"-Gretta


"I think it looks nice" -Sam

"Let me see here..." -G
"This one's my favorite!"-G

Family Life

I hope these will be the last batch of pictures (for a while anyway) with snow in them!! We took the kids to the cabin in Florence for one last winter who rah before the snow melted. Here is great grandpa reading Gretta a story in front of the wood burner.


NORMALLY the rules are always guys against girls when it comes to you name it, any kind of competition. In this case, the numbers were not even, so this is the dazzling duo that beat two guys at Aggravation.


But as you can see, the men took the weekend.


An all time family favorite.


This is where Diggs spends 98% of his time when he is up north.


In the winter, the "driveway" to the cabin gets pretty snowed in; hence the snowmobiles with sleds. Gretta and Sam have probably road on a snowmobile more times than I have in my whole life.


The outhouse.


An abandoned beaver hut we found on a walk.


Tim enjoying the scenery.


Nat enjoying practice with the new camera (above and below :)



Grandma and Gretta eating yogurt.


There's Sammy, upset that this is his first appearance in the blog so far. jk

Sam chews on EVERYTHING. He has 2 teeth on the bottom with 2 coming in, and 4 on the top.



Gretta insisted wearing this "hat" to the mall.


I think she can pull it off!


Sammy probably waiting for something meaty. He's not a big fan of fruit, but give him some turkey or chicken and he'll gobble it up.


We spent one weekend in Stevens Point visiting Uncle Phil. They had the sweetest time playing in the playland and swimming in the toddler pool with GG and Gampy.




Before we left for Point, Gretta wanted to try her suit on... along with Sammy's new hat and mittens. Hey, they were in the same bag! They must go together!


Cheese!

Sam pondering his March Madness picks.
