I'm BA-A-A-ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Holla at cha' girl!


It hasn't even been two months since the last update, but it sure seems like a looong time ago. Maybe it is true that having kids ages a person...like when you see two different couples at 45 years old: the kidless couple is fit, cuddly, and have nice tans and the couple with kids is overweight, squabbling with each other, and have some gray hair and wrinkles.

Even though two months seems like a long time ago, summer is going way to fast. Since the last update, Anya has experienced her first Lake of the Woods walleye, been to Washington D.C.-Baltimore area to attend Grandma Mary(Becky's mom) and Don's wedding, hang with Grandpa Dick and meet Great-Grandma Kay, cheered on marathon runner's at Grandma's Marathon, and just returned from a 4th of July celebration in St. Peter, MN (B's hometown).

Ani has been mildly entertained with Dad taking care of her this summer. We try to get to the beach, go on bike rides, meet up with friends while still finding time for chores, gardening and having dinner ready for Mom during her busy field season. Ani is jabbering away, loving food (as you can tell), has her first tooth, and is thinking about crawling. If there was a way for her to crawl without being on her stomach she would be all over it.

Time to baby proof the house,

It's hard enough to eat without a camera flashing in my face.
