Happy Birthday to Leah...now 1 year old!

It's been a long time since I've posted...so here are several highlights from the past couple months. We took a family trip to Duluth in July. Here is Garrett at the Aquarium Museum.

A visit from Aunt Kim and Owen.




Thanks for the visit Kim and Owen



Tree Frogs! Back in July, tree frogs were everywhere in our backyard...literally hundreds of them. Needless to say, Garrett captured a few and made them "pets" for a night or two.


Garrett and his new neighbor friend Alex. They play together now frequently. It's nice to have someone so close that Garrett can play with.


Leah enjoying the summer


Earlier this summer, we spent the day at Mindi's parents' cabin near Mankato. Garrett enjoyed steering the pontoon boat.





Garrett's favorite thing this summer has been fishing. After his fishing experience at the cabin, he was forever wanting to go fishing. Luckily, we found a place near our new house that he and Dad now frequent. He likes to "break the worm in half" for Dad too.

The last few weeks at our old house, Garrett enjoyed going in and our of the dog kennel. Scared Mom to death one day when she couldn't find him in the backyard.



The whole family went to Arrowwood resort for Dad's conference. We enjoyed the water park.
