Minnesota, Revisited

Another great time was had in MN this past July. I finally got to meet Uncle Rob, who helped me on the long car rides to and from Chicago. We visited Great Grandma Brueske and Great Grandma Lenz. We also got to meet up with some of mom's college friends. And I also was very happy that Tallie taught me how to properly play on my mat. She's the best cousin ever!

Saugatuck, MI

These are pictures from our trip to Saugatuck Michigan, a nice little town on Lake Michigan and just far enough away from Chicago to feel like a vacation. Dad dipped my feet in the water for the first time. I also got to wear all of my "cabana clothes" which was super fun....and appropriate.

4th of July Weekend

We had a nice 4th of July weekend. We spent the 4th at mom's friend Amanda's house and the following day we went to Starved Rock State Park where I did my first hike ever. I can't say I loved it, but mom and dad are hoping for better luck next summer.

Around 3 Months Old

These pictures were taken when Grandma Lenz came to visit at the end of June. We did lots of fun things, like visiting the animals at the Lincoln Park Zoo. We also had fun trying on Dad's hat.

2 Months Old

This is me around 2 months old.

May 2008 Continued

This was my first trip to the Twin Cities. I had a great time! I met a lot of cool people there too, including Great Grandma Carlson, Uncle Brendan, and mom and dad's friends Sara Larson, Andy Mariska and Steve Christopher. Awesome Dude.

Alexandria, MN May 2008

This was my first trip to Alex. I gotta say, I love it there! I met a lot of really wonderful relatives, including Grandpa Lenz, Uncle Jeff, Cousin Tallie and Great Aunts Linda and Jane. I was also interested to learn that Alexandria MN is actually the birth place of America....Dad and I are standing in front of a rather large statue commemorating one of our founders.
