Back in Minneapolis

We got back home in August and took as many opportunities as we could to enjoy the sunny weather.

Trips to the park.

Of course, we had to visit the new stadium for the first home game.

We took a number of stops around the city to take pictures with Flat Stanley.

We even found ourselves at the Mall of America so that Flat Stanley could visit Legoland.

We have also made plenty of time to play with friends.

Annie Reagan lives across the street, so we see her pretty often. We try to have play dates every week or so with Ellie Jane Williamson (in the white) and Cally Brooks (in the blue).

Some of you think that I am joking when I say that we had to take advantage of the warm weather.

This is a picture out of our back window on October 8th!!

October 25th was our baby girl’s first birthday!!

Annie had her birthday 6 days earlier, so we had a joint celebration.

The girls were double-fisting their pumpkin cake…mmmmmm.

They have been able to share all of their birthday goodies, including Annie’s new wagon.

It has been a great fall.  Maddux loves being around the college students and has already picked a few favorites.

We love parenting in this new stage of her life.

  1. So great to see you all are settling back in. I can’t believe that you are already celebrating a 1st b-day! Even more so, I can’t believe the SNOW in October! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! :) Lana
