Lunch with my bitty baby and puppy!

Wow, what a weekend!! Mommy, Larkin, Grandma, Mia, Aunti Dem and Grammy Sharon all had a girl's trip to Chicago. We went for our first trip to the American Girl Store! We wore our matching outfits with our bitty babies in their matching dresses. We even stayed overnight in a hotel. We had so much fun and love that we got to spend this special time with our Grandmas! We love you and can't wait until next year!

Swedish Days Parade 2010

Boy was it hot but Mommy and Daddy picked out a great spot and we had a nice little tent to get some shade. We had fun with Grandma, Papa, Aunt Becki, Uncle Jon, Abbey, Mommy and Daddy!

Beauty and the Beast

Today after lunch we went to the mall. Larkin had said that for Father's Day, she wanted to take Daddy on the merry go round. On our way back, we stopped in Von Maur and our favorite piano player lady was there. She helped Larkin play Beauty and the Beast with her....it was so pretty it made Mommy cry!

Happy Father's Day 2010

We took Daddy to Old Towne for his Father's Day lunch! He had a great weekend...it started on Saturday with some fun swim lessons with us, then Mommy planned for him to go on a pond tour with Uncle Richie and then a wine tasting. Today he got to sleep in and we gave him his present (a Wii...we are so excited) and then he got to go out birding and finally, we met him at Old Towne and treated him to lunch. He deserved the best day ever because he is the best Daddy ever!!

I have no idea what to say about this...

Mommy convinced Daddy to shave his Blackhawks playoff beard into a lovely 'stash!!

Should we enter this for funniest home videos?

First he stretches, then he almost knocks Mommy out!
