Check it out...

As many of you know, Adam is going to be a BIG BROTHER come September. We decided to create a family blog in preparation. Please change your bookmarks - I've copied all of the history over and I'll update this one going forward:

Farm Babies

Our neighbor Willy came with us to meet Soren and Hanna and the MN zoo to check out the farm babies. None of the kids were too crazy about the petting zoo portion and preferred the animals behind fences or glass or the ones that weren't real at all.

Adam LOVES horses.

A truck or some nearby construction caught all of the boys attention. Adam always covers his ears for loud noises.

Ready, set, go!

Lil' Slugger

Since going to the Twins game, Adam has definitely taken more of an interest in playing baseball. He loves this pitching machine even though he rarely makes contact. I tried to tee it up for him, but of course he only wants to play like the big leaguers.

Nana's Birthday

To celebrate Nana's birthday, we met at Teddy Bear Park and then had a pizza lunch back at our place. It was a fun day!

Soren and Adam play so well together

Climbing some rocks

Adam loved going down the big slides - Aunt Amy climbed up to the top with him.

Soren helped Nana blow out her candles

Hanna is hoping for a taste of some cake too

Target Field

Aaron and Adam were able to check out the new Twins baseball stadium with Uncle Dallas and Cousin Soren and the weather was perfect for some outdoor baseball. Adam was so excited to be wearing semi-matching shirts and hats with Aaron. Adam has talked about "guys", "hits", and "choo-choo" (they rode the light rail) since that day. Thanks Apolds for such a wonderful afternoon!

April Showers

We hooked up the hoses and turned on the water so that Aaron could do some burning. Adam helped to water everything since it has been fairly dry. Between that and the bit of rain we got, my flowers are actually starting to sprout!

Easily Amused

Adam came with me to vote today and the volunteers gave him a balloon. When we got home, I blew up the balloon and then I let go of it so all of the air would come out. I grabbed the camera after about the tenth time doing it and he still thought it was hysterical.
