Halloween

October hung on to summer a little bit so getting pumpkins in shorts was appropriate.  

Clara worked very hard on her Elsa face at the Garret's carving party.

Susu and papa got to join us on Halloween weekend to celebrate with Doc mcstuffins, a bat and a monkey.

I am a season or two behind in posts, but we do have a tree up!  

Alice is 2

Our baby is 2 and she likes excavators and babies.  We love to see her emerging personality that is all her own.  Her goofiness keeps us laughing and will also keep us on our toes:). We enjoyed celebrating her and enjoy her little self every day!

She may have been a bit overwhelmed at first, but did have a great rest if the day.

It started with sprinkle birthday pancakes

She opened a new doll that we took to the park

After getting o from school we had donut date with friends

And we ended the day with olives, black beans and avocados for dinner...and an excavator cake!  

She was sound asleep with her new baby in 2 minutes-a pretty good birthday I would say!

Minnesota June 2014

The summer kicked off with a trip to Minnesota for a family friend's wedding.  Our decision to fly was one of the best we have ever made and our good friend Jeff (brother of the groom) allowed us to take over his home in Minetonka which made the trip even easier!
