A Busy Weekend & Father's Day!

I am sitting here at our computer after hearing the final evacuation sirens for Minot. I don't know quite what to do with myself. It's so eerie hearing the sirens telling people they need to get out now and seeing so many of them drive by our house on their way to safer ground. Our basement was flooded during the first round of evacuations and it totally bummed us out. Our outlook has changed now and we are thankful for a wet basement and not having to evacuate.

This past weekend David and I took our first trip without the kiddos! We went to Winnipeg to celebrate (a few weeks early) 5 years of marriage! Grandma and Grandpa stayed with the kids and a good time was had by all! And I only emailed home once and only called once when we were back in the US. I'm pretty proud of myself! Here are a few of our favorite pictures!

Callie's 1st time standing on her own. She stood for so long she started crying because she didn't know what to do with herself! Now she's a pro!

Anderson after pulling himself up onto the box, he's almost ready to begin pulling himself up on furniture.



Diaper box rides, just like Uncle Josh and I loved as kids!

Happy (Grand)Father's Day!

With Grandma

Watching the world go by-one of his new favorite things to do thanks to Grandpa and Grandma!





HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

Callie helping to open Dada's gift!



A picture by the scroll saw the kids are going to get Dad once the garage is free of our basement things!

Callie's prints for her Daddy!

Anderson's hand and foot prints for Dad!

Both kiddos are getting their top front teeth! Callie has one that is just about through and Anderson has one that is through and one that is just about! And to top it all off Anderson has his first ear infection and not just an ear infection, a double ear infection! He's being a real trooper for all that his body is going through!
