10 months

Another month and we're happy to report, yet again, we have a healthy and growing baby. She is continuing to teeth (working on molars) and is so close to crawling. She sure gets around for not being 'mobile.' We've baby-proofed the house so we're ready when she's really cruising.

Local ski show

After living in the White Bear Lake area for more than seven years, we finally went to the Ski Otters show. We enjoyed the local entertainment; Brooklyn loved the costumes and action. We're looking forward to catching more shows this summer.

Mommy-daughter trip

In early May, Brooklyn and I went back to Florida to spend time with Grandma Donna and Grandpa Tom. Uncle Brian also joined us on our trip to Cocoa Beach, FL, where we spent four days of our vacation.

Baby photo comparisons

We finally compared our baby pictures to those of Brooklyn. Who do you think she resembles most as a baby?

Memorial weekend 2011

We enjoyed a great start to summer with friends in Ortonville, Minn. for the holiday weekend. We all enjoyed time outside by the water and all the action. A special thanks to the Voegtli's for having us!

Congrats Meggan and Jason

Brooklyn attended her first wedding on May 21; her second cousin, Jason Erickson, married Meggan Kuschell. The wedding and reception were beautiful. Congrats to the newlyweds!
