South Dakota smiles

It's time for an update! Jocelyn "officially" crawled on Christmas day. Yet, another reminder of the precious gifts we have in our little girls. They both have their bottom two teeth coming in. Julia cruises everywhere and climbs the stairs, trying to crawl over obstacles and even standing for a few moments on her own. They "talk" a lot. Jocelyn has earned a German nickname of Helga for her aggressive talking. (You have to hear it to understand) Jocelyn pulls herself up as well. They have been thriving around family and friends and having a blast!

Travis & Mandi's wedding

We went to St. Paul to attend Travis and Mandi's wedding. (Travis is Tim's youngest brother.) The wedding was whimsical and gorgeous in the Como Gardens Conservatory. The dinner and dance was a great time the following night. We enjoyed a lot of family time together at the hotel...many smiles and laughter. The girls had a blast, especially with their cousins.

Go Jacks!

I couldn't help but show off the girls in some South Dakota State gear (thanks Cousin Megan!). They looked like they were ready for dorm life. We are doing well in SD. Tim flies in tomorrow and then we head to Minneapolis for Tim's brother's wedding. We've been enjoying our winter wonderland of snowflakes here for the past few days and trying to stay warm in the subzero temps. We hope you are enjoying the holidays!

home for the holidays...

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving; we feel that we have so much to be thankful for. We spent the holiday with our families in MN and SD. It was so wonderful to see everyone. Melanie and the girls decided to stay in SD until Christmas. We needed a little "winter wonderland" and quality family time. It's been quite an adventure so far! If you're in the neighborhood be sure to give us a call!
