girls weekend

Isaac and Soren took a last minute trip to Montana for a wedding, so Greta and I headed north to my parent's cabin, and to visit Tom and Liz at their new house. Greta, of course, was laying on the charm thick!

Soren played soccer this summer with a bunch of friends from ECFE, and had a blast!

you have a little something on your face

One hot day on the way home from the pool we drove through Dairy Queen for ice cream. I thought Greta would do okay with a cone if I removed the ice cream above the cone. I anticipated a bit of a mess, but I underestimated my girl.

This summer we got a family pass to the Edina Aquatic Center, and we've been using it a ton! They have a fun kids pool that the munchkins never get tired of!

Greta is 1!!!

the birthday princess

Because Isaac was going to be out of town on Greta's actual birthday she got three celebrations! One with family, one with our friends, and one on her actual birthday! We didn't get any pics of the second one, so you'll just have to trust me. Here she is getting some assistance on opening presents from Soren.
