We recently took a trip to the Minnesota zoo.

I just love this outfit. She looks so much older than a 3 year old!


They had tractor simulations that day so Anya got to "drive" a tractor.



Gotta love when mom's make their kids stick their head through the picture holes...
Finn was having a blast!
Molly, Claire, Anya, Finn and I went to Pine Tree apple orchard.
Again with the cut outs!
Just a cute picture of Anya and her cousin Hannah and their matching pj's.
Finn and Anya cuddling. Look how long Finn is getting!

Also and update on Finn. He is officially walking! He still crawls a little bit, but he walks all over the living room and kitchen, down the hall into Anya's room. He has also added words to his vocabulary. He can say Anya, Mama, Dada, daddy, pa pa, bampa (grandpa), nummy, there, nigh nigh, hi, dog, and probably a few more I'm forgetting. He absolutely loves music and starts to dance and clap as soon as it turns on. His favorite toy is a Kung Fu Panda figurine. He loves looking at books and puzzles and loves playing with Anya.

Over Labor Day weekend, we went to our friends Josh and Hanna's family cabin in Wisconsin. We had a ton of fun going on boat rides and watching Josh and Hanna's dad water ski. This was the first time Anya has ever been in a boat and she absolutely loved it! It was so much fun to see her excitement because it brought back memories of how much fun I had boating and fishing when I was a kid. She did so good in the boat and helped "spot" the water skiers.


She drove the boat and was very responsible! Look at the concentration on her face!

I just think this is a cute picture.
Could the too of these guys be any cuter?
Finn's Godfather, Josh is known as the "Over stimulation chamber". Finn's enjoying it though.
Watching Josh water ski.
Pure Joy!
I'm going to have to blow this up and frame it! Way too cute!
