2007
Pictures from 2007.
A Day with Thomas
This was taken at the train station the day we met Thomas the Tank Engine.
Awesome Big Brother
Gabe is a great big brother and gives rides to Michaela on his tractor.
Camping
We took the kids camping for the first time this year and they loved it! So, every now and then we set up the tent in the house and sleep in it:)
Cowboy Gabe
The kids just love my hat! Doesn't Gabe look like a natural:)
Enjoying A Summer Day
Michaela loves being outside. Gotta love warm summer days!
Fireman Gabe
Last summer the Minnesota Zoo sponsored a Child Safety Day. The Apple Valley Fire Department had one of their trucks there and Gabe was in heaven!
Fisherman Gabe
Last fall Gabe was practicing his casting. He's pretty adept at it now and ready for this year's opener!
Friends Next Door
We are very fortunate to have great neighbors across the street who happen to to have kids the same age as Gabe and Michaela. We play with them quite often:)
Gabe's Buddy Thomas
Gabe loves Thomas the Tank Engine! So, when Thomas was in Stillwater last summer, we brought Gabe to see him.
Halloween 2007
For Halloween Gabe was Elmo and Michaela was a Renaissance Princess.
Holding Hands
I just love this picture, they're in such close proximity and they aren't fighting:) Bill Cosby had it right when he said, "Parents aren't interested in justice, only peace". So, when Gabe and Michaela are getting along, we truly cherish the brief moments:)
Kids With Grandma Sherry
We always go up north for Christmas, so we always have Grandma Sherry over so the kids can see her. Here they are during her visit.
Little Red Wagon
One of our many activities in the summer is heading to the nearby play ground. The kids love riding in the wagon, so what better way to get there!
Look Out
For Gabe's third birthday, Papa Skip gave Gabe this really sweet John Deere tracker and trailer. Gabe has put many miles on that thing! I'm surprised that we have any grass left in the back yard!
Meeting Bob the Builder
One of the many trips to the Children's Museum introduced us to Bob and Pilchard.
Michaela Turns 1!
My, how the time flies! Michaela's first birthday came fast.
Riding With Papa
Papa just loves to spoil the kids. Go Papa, go!!
Water Boy
We love to go swimming at Fort Snelling State Park (even though the lake is populated with man-eating sunnies:).
Weeeeee Michaela
I don't know who loves water more, Gabe or Michaela. Michaela sure looks like she's enjoying herself:)
