Our Anniversary

The 25th was our anniversary--5 years. Chris and I spent the weekend in Bayfield with NO children. It was heavenly! As much as I hate photos of myself at this point, I thought I'd post this one of Chris and I in Bayfield just for your viewing pleasure...

Me, too

Of course, whatever the big boys get, Gavin gets, too. This time we let daddy feed him.

Mmmmm...

Here's one from the 2nd celebration. Dera and I shared an absolutely delicious dessert that could have fed a large family.

Gifts twice, too

Of course, Dera received gifts both times we celebrated. He was one lucky little boy!

Sharing cake

Dera even got to feed a few bites to Gavin. I'm not sure which of them enjoyed that more.

Dera's Birthday

We celebrated Dera's birthday twice. Once at my parents house and once on his actual birthday. He definitely enjoyed having cake and presents more than once!

Water Baby

Eventually, Gavin and I went for a little "swim". He didn't mind, since he was so close to me the whole time.

Beach Bum

The water was a bit chilly without the sun, so we just hung out on the beach for a little while. Gavin wasn't quite sure about those waves.

Sleepy Boy

This weekend we went out on the St. Croix with Chris' sisters, Kelly and Katie, and Kelly's boyfriend, Shane. It was a nice day, but Gavin missed nap time, so he decided to just take his nap on the boat next to his daddy. It was too cute not to take a picture!

Baker?

Apparently, Gavin would like to be a baker as well. At least we know that he can figure out where to put the dishes once they're dirty.

Spatula Man

Gavin just loves those dirty dishes. Maybe he'll be the family dish washer once he gets a bit older. I'm certain that Chris won't mind handing that chore off!

Bees

Roth got stung by a bee or two the other day--the worst was on his lip! Of course, now, every bug bite he gets must be a bee sting. Yikes...

Almost...

Gavin's almost walking. He's gotten really good at standing on his own. He's even taken a step all by himself a couple of times. Hopefully he'll be walking in a few more days. I can't wait to see it!

Isn't He Sweet?

Roth had a bit too much time on his hands one day...a rainy day, I think. At least he decided to be sweet with his efforts.

Swimming

We had a great time with Chris' sister, Kelly, and her boyfriend, Shane, not too long ago out on the lake. Gavin loves the water!
