Perfect Saturday

Today was an absolutely perfect day! We hiked, played at a couple parks and went for a bike ride in the morning. After naps, we topped the day off with a hike and playground time at Lester, followed by chili, mac & cheese and homemade ice cream with the Filby Williams and Heydts. Finn and Tenzy had a blast playing together, while Leif, Jasper and Rilo ate sand, almost crawled and toddled, respectively. All in all, it was a great Saturday.

Fall Fun for Finn

It was another beautiful day in Duluth. The boys played outside all day, and Finn proved to be the more photogenic one, as evidenced below. Enjoy!

















































Check out the wood! Finn helped stack. Seriously. He has his own little wheelbarrow.

Fall Fun

It was a beautiful fall day today (don't let the stocking hats fool you - Finn really wanted to wear his and also wanted Leif to wear one, but they weren't really necessary). We spent the majority of the day playing outside. Finn is a big helper lately - raking, stacking wood, transporting leaves, as evidenced in a few of the photos below.









































































Here is Finn cuddling with his pal Jasper:

Random photos

Leif likes to walk behind the fire truck as Finn rides on it. It's very cute. They think it is so funny:












Fall has hit Duluth:












No babies in this photo because mom and dad had their first night out sans Leif at the Williams/Keller wedding. Leif was put to bed by grandma, grandpa, uncle sam and aunt nicole. It was the first time he was put to sleep by a non-parent and we are happy to report that he was a-ok.












The next two photos are of Finn making funny faces:

The weekend away

While I was home painting and building, the boys & Keely vacated the house to stay out from underfoot. The results: a new woodshed, a golden dining room, and tired boys.

Finn, as always, enjoyed the pontoon boat ride.


A very tired Leif catches his otherwise skipped nap on a hike in the woods.


Finn loved playing in the tent, both at night and in the day.

Playground Extravaganza

Here are the boys playing at a park near our home. It has quickly become a favorite of both of them, especially now that Finn is adept at climbing and Leif is mobile. Enjoy!

Deja Vu, sort of

About a year ago we took some photos of Finn at Leif Erickson Park in Duluth. Today we were back there and took some photos of both boys. We have them both in tie dyed shirts, just like one year ago (we're good like that). Check out the photos from last year and see how much Finn has grown. It's amazingly crazy.
