Wow, where to begin? You wouldn't think it'd be so difficult to update this blog only once a week, would you? I think I'll skip the usual nonsense and just get right to the photos, which is what we all really care about anyway, right? Here's what we've been up to the last couple weeks (in reverse chronological order):
1. Papa Joe was visiting this weekend, he came into town for Ashley's high school grad party (way to go, Ashley!) We had so much fun hanging out with him, and spent this past Monday at Como Zoo with him and some of the other Karnowskis. Aidan thought the little car ride was great...until the cars started to move.

Ellie was so excited to release a butterfly:
2. We got to celebrate Kellan's 5th birthday at a fun party at his house! Happy Birthday, Kellan! The kids had a blast (as usual) playing with their cousins.
The whole gang:

4. We spent the morning of Father's Day at the Minnesota Zoo. We LOVE to go there, even if it's just for a little while. The kids love the new play area; note the first photo of Zoe walking along -it really shows how tiny she really is!
7. Finally, just having fun at home. Finally got a half-decent photo of all 4 kids - at least, they're all somewhat facing the camera, and no one is screaming!
5. More time spent cooling off in the pool in the backyard:
6. Strawberry picking with Grandma! And to top it off, making homemade jam afterward. Yum! They should have weighed Maddie before and after we picked the berries and charged us for the difference - she ate a TON! :) We definitely have to make this a yearly event.
