We had a first visit with Great Grandma Hilma and another visit with Great Grandpa Gilbert.

Isn't Annika getting big? At 6 weeks she weighed in at 11lbs and now this week she is almost 12-13!
Patrick just cracks me up when he imitates me taking pictures.
He had so much fun playing with Ryan's old wind up toys and old cars.


He also got in some reading time!
Our next stop was the lake to see my family. Ryan left us in Brookings and my parents brought the three of us to the lake.
Patrick enjoyed his new rain boots and playing in the sand.


Annika enjoyed just hanging out on the floor.

We had lunch for my birthday at a really fun little place.

Patrick learned to fish for the first time. He was so excited about it. We hardly got a bite, but it was still fun.

We had a visit from Nikki and her family, so fun to have all our kiddos together.

And who couldn't love little Nora? So cute!
Lastly, I enjoyed a beautiful evening with my boy. Love this kid.



On our way home we had a great visit with Great Grandma Gladys. She just adored Annika and didn't want to put her down. Amazing the arm strength she had to hold her as well.
