July 2015

Sophie

Sophie finished off first grade and said goodbye to her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Messer. She learned so much this past year-- how to tell time, fractions, counting money and now she's reading chapter books.


Sophie's Girl Scout troop picked Color Me Mine as their celebration for selling cookies. Sophie picked an elephant to paint.


Jack

For his summer sport, Jack picked soccer. He's been enjoying playing with the grey team twice a week at various soccer fields.




Parker

At Parker's 2 month check up, we noticed that the back of his head looked a little flat, so at his follow-up 4 month check, our pediatrician referred us to a specialist. At the end of May, Parker got measured and fitted for a cranial cap helmet. It looked a little boring and white...



So the lovely folks at FastSigns Minnetonka decorated it to look like an old school aviator helmet! Parker has to wear the helmet for 2-3 months and his head is already looking much, much rounder.







Summer Fun

Our one and only summer craft. We made sponge water bombs. A great alternative to water balloons and perfect for hot, sunny days.



Enjoying our Friday night tradition, family movie night. 


Sophie and Jack love making creations out of Lego bricks.



Bemidji Trip

We took a trip to Bemidji to attend Derek's wedding reception. We stayed at a hotel and the kids loved swimming in the pool every day.





Triathlons

Bryan and Greg at their first triathlon of the season.


Sophie and Jack are triathletes too! They participated in the Kids for a Cause Triathlon in St. Paul.
