Build-a-Bear take two

Auntie Stacie took Shecklet #4 to Build-a-Bear Workshop for her birthday. (She did the same for Shecklet #3 a few years ago.) Afterwards, we went to Panera for lunch. It was nice to have a chance to catch up with this busy lady!

Home from school

Shecklet #4 is running a low-grade temp today 🙁 I kept her home from school and was letting her watch some PBS Kids. She shut it off and fell asleep on the couch. My poor baby!

Happy 4th birthday to #4

Love this little girl to pieces!


We met Jake for lunch today and ended up eating in the natural light (due to the restaurant’s power going out.) We told the owner our reason for dining there that afternoon and he surprised us with a piece of cheesecake and a candle to celebrate our youngest Shecklet turning 4!

4th bday party for #4

We celebrated Shecklet #4 turning 4 with family and friends, cake and ice cream and temps in the 50s. Unheard of for MN in February. I thought the weather we had for Shecklet #2’s fourth birthday was amazing (when we celebrated outside) but today takes the cake – haha!

Just a few photos from the day.

Little nephew’s baptism day

We gathered to celebrate our nephew’s baptism this evening. He was surrounded by lots of love at the church and didn’t make a peep when the pastor poured the cool water on his head.

I love this picture for two main reasons: one, we’re all looking different directions (at different cameras) and two, because of the sweet kiss my SIL is giving her son. ❤

February break

The Shecklets have been off of school since last Friday. Today we had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa and then went bowling. Fun memories were made!

Surly goggles

Jake pulled the carrier tops off a four pack of Surly and cut them in half for the girls. We added a little duct tape and made them in to goggles. Only problem is, they can’t see out of them. 😎
