Overdue Updates (part 2)

Overdue Updates (Part 2)
**Whoops...I am SO DUMB!  I keep forgetting that "photo bomb" does NOT mean including a bunch of pictures on one blog post.  Nate keeps reminding me that a photo bomb is when some dork ruins a pic that would otherwise be awesome.  Again, my bad.  But seriously....when you think of the phrase "photo bomb" don't you just immediately think of an explosion of lots of photos? :)  Oh well...I'll work on it.  Now on to the blog:

Yup...duh....if you haven't heard by now, Nate and I got pregnant right away and are now expecting our second child (a baby boy) sometimes around "the end of January".  The excitement of finding out we were pregnant created a bit of a sense of urgency in me to spend as much time together as a family of three because before we know it, those days will be long behind us.  As such, we have spent the past 5-6 months filling our weeks and weekends with a substantially busy social calendar.  Here are just a couple of pics from Easter...because they are cute.

Mia always gets more eggs when Grandma Peggy is on her team

They thought they could trick me, but I saw this one!

Notice the new basket...she needed a second one to hold all of the eggs she found :)

Our spring and summer went by so fast, but what's new?  I think there was a period of time where our family of three was out of town 5 weekends in a row whether it was to Osceola, Danbury or our friend's cabin.  Here are some pics from spring and through the summer...WARNING these are heavily focus on Mia, but I feel like they should be because pretty soon...she won't be the only one we are taking pictures of anymore:

Mia was lucky enough to have a few bike rides with daddy, she loves her helmet...it had white skulls on the side
How do you NOT add a picture like this?
or this?

Apparently, this is how we get on a pony ride

Yessssss...she loves her some pony rides

This summer was the second time we have been invited to our friend and neighbor's cabin in northern MN.  We had three couples, three toddlers and a dog :)  I wouldn't exactly call this weekend relaxing considering the age of our children, but it was certainly beautiful, hilarious, exciting and full of amazing food and great company.

NOTE TO ALL FATHERS:  NEVER EVER CUT YOUR CHILD'S HAIR (right before her 2nd birthday party, at home, alone, with no supervision) WITHOUT A CONVERSATION OR APPROVAL OF THE MOMMY
Nate's lucky she is still cute


Still to come...Fall fun festivities including Severs Corn Maze, Mia's 2nd birthday, Afton apple orchard, brunches/gatherings and Halloween 2011 (cont.)
