A Day at the Wilderness Walk in Hayward

Leaving a snack for the bears :)

"I am a robot"

ice cream in town!

...and a little laundry!

A few days in Edina & A trip to the zoo with the Stroms

Call me crazy, but I drove the kids up to Edina ALONE after my last half-day of school for a little extra time with my folks while giving Tom the chance to get some work done without the three biggest distractions around!

Leif and Siri having a quick chat

They'd better build a four-head option for 2011, or we'll have two grumpy

two-year-olds on our hands!

Annie and Kaj loved this - Note to self: Don't send new walker

into fake log unless you intend to follow him on your hand and knees.

Natalia and her Barbie Jeep live next door to my folks. She and Kaj have a lot of fun together!

Watch out, Byerly's shoppers! The Larsens are at the wheel, I mean wheels!

Leif's little beaver grin in quickly disappearing. More teeth appearing daily!

What have you been up to?

Live it up, kid!

Di & Kaj - that's right, we rhyme.

I think there's a resemblance...you?

Memorial Day in Door County

Door County may be the place we usually spend time with the Larsen side of the family, but this Memorial Day, Grandma and Grandpa Hawley met us there for a fun-filled long weekend. We are looking forward to our time there once again in July.

Leif holding Grandpa Hawley up...or something like that

I love their matching green rain jackets!

Of course we're not all looking at the camera - Kaj was looking for trolls in the trees, as I recall

One of Kaj's favorite characters to portray as of late is "Larry the Troll." He lives under our dining room table and likes to scare people...and goats.

Grandpa and Leif having a laugh

A daddy's boy :)

Their personalities are so different, but they get along so well!

Watching the fish boil

I always love post-bath snuggles!
