Six months, six pictures

May...we spent a weekend in Duluth!

June...bathing beauties at Grandma's

July...how our dog likes to nap

August...two brothers at Itasca State Park

September...my boys taking a walk

October...Kellen is three!
(no he didn't break his arm, it's a can coozie, of course!)

You can thank me now for summarizing. I didn't feel it was necessary to go into detail to catch up!

Wow....it's been awhile.

Hmmm...Let's see, what have we been up to since April? Ethan finished preschool, had a nice summer, Kellen's completely potty trained (YAY!) and Ethan started kindergarten! That pretty much sums it up! Kellen turned 3, I turned 40 (no, not really) and Ethan will be 6 next week!! Now I need to go dig up some pictures from the past six months and after seeing the pictures on Anne & Sarah's blogs, I am on a mission to find some oldies too!

What's Happening at the Biggins

This is how we spent the day on Saturday! OUTSIDE!

It was wonderful.

The Potty Train

This is how we spent the rest of the weekend. We had our first weekend of potty training with Kellen. What does that mean? 89 trips to the bathroom on Saturday, that produced nothing (with the exception of a couple toots). It was me, Kellen and Ethan (who didn't want to be left out -- he was the coach). Kellen thought it was great fun to go in the bathroom, get his potty chair out, sit down and visit with us for awhile. Then get on his Buzz Light Year pull ups and pee in them 10 minutes later. He keeps asking where the train is? My potty train! Wish us luck!

Ethan's Animal Tracks

Ethan likes looking for animal tracks on our walks. This is what we found today.

Winter Fun in the Park

Sledding down the hill, okay down the road, but there were no cars!

Walking out on the ice

We spent part of the afternoon in one of our favorites summer spots today. It was a beautiful bright blue sky day....a little chilly, but not too bad!

My new theme ~ Weddings!

My Mom & Dad's Wedding...

May 21, 1966

Anne & Brian's Wedding, June 4, 1993

I have been going through my pictures and have had fun scanning them and remembering fun times, so I thought I would share some.

Erin and Erica shortly before Erica (on the right) fell head first into the bushes, sorry I didn't get a picture of that! I was too busy laughing, I'm sure!
