A few Cabin-trip highlights

We had a fun weekend at the cabin with the K/E Kvenilds and the Totusheks. Here's a few highlights!
Quin and cousin Kathryn got to play in Uncle Kyle's boat.
There is an old set of Scoops at the cabin that have now been played with by four generations of our family - that's OLD!
"If I can just get past Stanley & Klementine Daddy's got the ball."
Chillin' with Uncle Kyle.
Before heading home we enjoyed a trip the Mora Aquatic Center (sounds like a zoo term). They have a fantastic kids pool there that Quin loved (he didn't want to leave!).

Climbing the Ladder

I just got done hanging a curtain rod in Quin's room and left to return my tools to the basement when Michelle told me to come back into the room. When I got there, Quin was climbing the ladder just like he had watched me. So, I grabbed the camera, told Michelle to take him down and sure enough he did it again! And I'm pretty sure you can hear him say "climb" right at the beginning; he's growing up too fast already.

Happy Birtday, Quin!

Yesterday our baby-boy was born. To hold him he felt so tiny and so fragile. What is he going to be like as he gets older?
Then we shake our heads out of the fog and realize that it wasn't yesterday, it was a year ago. If only time went slower.

Happy Birthday, Quin! We love you!

Quin's 1st Birthday

We celebrated Quin's 1st Birthday on Sunday (and a bit on Monday as well - which is his actual birthday). He had a Sesame Street Party and Michelle made this fantastic Cookie Monster cake with cookie cupcakes.
We were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous day to have a party outside.
Lots of family & friends were there to help Quin celebrate.

Quin's first birthday gift of the day was a swimming pool from Aunt Kim, Uncle Tom & Kathryn. It was the hit of the day!


Now you can witness the progression of a 1-year-old eating cake & ice cream.

Happy Birthday, Tobias!

It was a weekend full of birthday. Saturday, Quin got invited to his pal Tobias' 1st birthday party. Quin and Tobias are separted in age by only 2 days, so they have a neat little bond even if they don't realize it yet.
Happy Birthday to the Birthday boy!
