Fun at Home

We had some excitement this summer. I went on 3 week long business trips, one each month this summer. Karsten and Ryan had lots of fun while I was gone and we all had lots of fun when I got to be home.

Karsten got this chair for his birthday and he loves it. He stands on it, sits in it, drags his toys up on it with him, and of course he loves to use it to climb onto the couch.


One of Karsten's favorite toys is a stuffed rat and one of Ryan's favorite things to do is stick toys in Karsten's shirt...so "hey mom look I am having a baby...and it has a tail"!





One day in late July we had a little rain and out came a rainbow...a feww hours later out came a goat...didn't expect that one.

Karsten had a little misunderstanding with a book.

Karsten’s First Oreo

Well it was bound to happen, every boy must experience his first Oreo….well I will let you judge how it went.

Karsten’s Birthday

In July we celebrated Karsten’s 1st birthday (July 15th). We had a party with each side of the family and a special playdate with Karsten’s buddies.

Here's our big guy eating his first cupcake.

Father’s Day

So I know it is far from June and Father’s Day but we had a terrific day! Ryan “daddy” got lots of fun gifts that he can use to fix up the house, cook for us, and help us see in the dark…you know to scare aware monsters and stuff.
