SUDDENLY SOUTHERN

(But still loving time in Minnesota)

1st base and readyat bat

Max started his first year of baseball this summer. His parents are learning to be QUIET in the stands. It's not easy!!

6 weeks of our summer happened in Minnesota. We're SO lucky to have the use of a cottage on the lake, thanks to my mother-in-law. We're having a great time catching up with these Minnesota people!

It's very difficult to get us all to stop talking long enough for a decent picture!

Katie celebrated her birthday (again!!) at the cottage.

Kay and PaulPinata

Every party has a pinata! Finding the goodies in long grass is part of the fun.

Jessie and JustinSophie is wet

Jessie LIVES in the water. Sophie is slightly less enthusiastic.

 

Kids love water

Notice that Jessie is never more than a few inches away from the water? With that darn toy FOREVER in her mouth, waiting for someone to throw it in... And no matter how far you think you've thrown that thing, she is back way too soon, shaking off the water onto your book, ready to go again!
