the one (or several) that got away

lazy lakeside sunday

we enjoyed a beautiful day in chisago with the wolters out on the lake! the boys fished and the girls hung out and got some sun. stella loved her first boat ride and was pretty much giddy with excitement every time the boat started moving. ahh, this is what summer is supposed to feel like.

and by the way, have you seen the curls on our baby?!?! what a doll!

it's friday

my week at a glance:

monday: standoff in our neighborhood. police, fire trucks, and ambulances blocking all the streets around us: (view from our master bedroom)

i let a swat team into our condo complex that were holding these guns:

no big deal.

tuesday: stella had some fun with tinner.

wednesday: my camera is broken. so no more pictures for a while. our dish isn't working. so i have to sit and wait for five hours on friday for someone to come and fix it.

thursday: we found out we missed our neice's birthday party which was wednesday night because matt hasn't turned on his non-work cell phone in a few months. we go to meet dani and kelsy in albertville and go shopping and it's finally sunny! oh and by the way, my baby has her first tooth!

friday: well nothing quite yet. it's gloomy out again today. sigh.

did i mention that i haven't worked out even ONCE week?

so, besides stella's tooth and seeing dani for a few hours, i wouldn't consider this week a GREAT success. on a happy note, it's friday!

flashback

i was looking through pictures today of our colorado wedding in september 2007 and found this picture and it made me get a little teary-eyed. where has the time gone? and look how young we look! ahhh, i miss those mountains. i can't wait until someday we can go back and bring stella.


and look at my groom! he's so handsome, isn't he?

sick days

yesterday i wasn't feeling well so Nana took Stella for a good chunk of the day so i could get some sleep. as i thought about it, it was the first time i've been home by myself since stella was born. just relaxing. it felt good!

after Nana went to work, we spent the rest of the afternoon doing this:

and this:

yes. we watched tv. and we cuddled. and stella played with her caterpiller.

curls or no curls?

i'm thinking curls.
