A day to celebrate life, success, and family

On Saturday we took the boys to the animal shelter, out to eat for their birthday and to the Falls park in Mankato. It was a great day for the six of us (Aunt Tina was there for the boys). We are very happy to have reached this day and we are really not sure what happened to the last 365 days. All I know is inbetween all the diaper changes, feedings, sleepless nights, and sick babies we had laughter, so many snuggle sessions, and an overwhelming feeling of happiness. I look at what I have, the children I've been blessed with, and wonder how I got so lucky. I look at what we have been through to get us to this place in our lives and I would do everything all over again to be "here" right now.

Love different textures

Love to taste-test everything

Leaf Fight

Boys will be boys

Tim was so nervous about Charlie getting too close to the water

These boys aren't babies anymore. I can't believe a year ago they were in my tummy!

Another great family photo (CT didn't like the guy taking the pic)

The water resources engineer investigating the water

True Story - Charlie said to Tim "Daddy, is this a storm water basin?"

I thought Tim was going to fall to the ground - the pride was beaming off his face!

Max needed to snuggle for quite a while b/c the water was so loud

The goofball and jr

Well sister I don't think I would be breathing right now if you wouldn't have saved me so many times! These boys owe you!

Aunt Tina's love goes around and around and around

Trying out their new carseats from Papa and Gran, sporting their new coats from Aunt Mary and Uncle Chris, and testing the new shoes from Nama. Great gifts - Thank you!
