Presents!, 12/20

I ended my trip in Chicago with a yummy turkey dinner and the opening of presents. Grant showed me how to open presents and how to play with my toys. I was more interested in the paper though. I had a wonderful time in Chicago and hope to make it back soon!

Visit with Santa, 12/20

Two Santa's in one day! I must have been a good girl this year! Actually one of the Santa's was just an elf. Mommy, Daddy and I all went to downtown Chicago to the Christkindlemarkt to visit with Santa. We had to wait out in the freezing cold for half an hour before we could even see him! No worries though, I slept warm and cozy in my bunting until it was time to meet him! I like Santa!

Christmas in Chicago 12/17-21

Mommy, Daddy and I went to Chicago to visit the Hutchinson's before Christmas. I had a ton of fun with Grant. As usual he is always up to something. He showed me what bubbles were, but I don't like them too much yet. Grandma also joined us a few days later and brought some lobster. I didn't try any, but I did get the inspect one! More to come on my travels to Chicago!















Hmmm, bubbles you say?













I climbed the steps


















Hey how did that picture get in there!




























What is this?

The Little Helper, 12/18

Grant is such the little helper! He loved to help out with me. As you can see he even gives me my bottle!

Plowing the Snow,

Mommy kept getting stuck in the driveway so Daddy decided it was time to plow the snow again. This time he let me come along! Well, at least sit on his lap for a bit. I didn't know what to think of the tractor, or the cold weather for that matter. Who knows I may drive this thing before Mommy!

Let's go!

On all fours, 12/2

Climbing, 12/11

Mommy decided that it was time to get in the Christmas spirit so she decorated the tree, the boxes were not put away after she was done and this is what she gets...

Ready to Walk, 12/5-6

Grant let me borrow this cool toy. Whenever I take a step the ducks start to quack. I Don't have the hang of it yet but I will be there in no time!





















Hey Daddy! Watch me play!

Happy Thanksgiving, 11/27

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. I hope you had your fill of turkey!
















Hey! That's not a turkey drumstick!

Weekend with Robbie 11/21-24

Daddy went away on a hunting trip and Mommy had to work nights, so I got to have a special visitor. It was Robin! She played with me all weekend while Mommy slept. She even brought me to see Great Grandma Lindstrom. She must have forgot the camera because we didn't get any pictures with her. Thanks for coming Robin, I had a great time!

Mommy would not approve of this!

My New Do, 11/19

Mommy couldn't let Grant be the only with with a mohawk, so she decided to give me one too!

Spaghetti Face, 11/19

Mommy gave me my first taste of spaghetti. It did not go over so well and I preferred to have the mushy stuff. You can see that more got on my bib than in my mouth! Hopefully in a few weeks my taste buds will change!

My New Tricks 11/15-11/19

Mommy and Daddy must keep a close eye on me now! I am an expert on rolling, crawling and climbing. Check me out doing some of my latest tricks. Mommy and Daddy don't approve but I am just so quick!



































Being cute

Brrrr.. its Cold! 11/8

I'm getting ready for the cold weather here. My new hat and bunting keeps me nice and toasty! Mommy and I went to the Schafer's while Daddy was out hunting! Avy must be practicing for the arrival of her new brother. She is such a good helper with me!





























































Sitting with Avy

Happy Halloween 10/31

Happy Halloween everybody! I had a great time dressing up and going to see everybody in my costume. We traveled all over Goodhue making the rounds to every body's house. We started out at Great Aunt Deb's and then ended up and Grandma Rox's with all the other kiddos. I got some yummy treats but I think Mommy and Daddy are going to have to eat most of them!

Trick or Treat!!

Grant's Visit 10/20-26

Not only did Grant come but so did Aunt Robin and Aunt Carrie. I was a fun week for me hanging out with the three of them. Mommy had to go to work most of the days, but we still found stuff to do. We made a trip to Mazeppa orchard and pumpkin patch. I am not a fan of the pumpkin patch yet, but Grant seemed to like it. We also made a few trips to the park and even made it up to see Great Grandma Lindstrom and Grandma Thompson. As always I hope I can see them soon!











































































Somebody hold me!








































Where are we going Grant?




















Cool hats!













Watch this!
