Hello all!! PLease forgive our most recent hiatus. We got a bit bogged down with projects and most recently a great trip to New York! Joel and I left the boys behind, abandoning them on their 2nd birthday, for a 3 day excursion to the Big Apple where we were part of a big beautiful wedding of our good friends Kevin and Victoria. We really needed the break and it was a great little vacation. But we missed our twin tornadoes like you wouldn't believe. Please enjoy the following photos of our visit to NY, and some other fun stuff. 

The Newleyweds, Kevin and Victoria Ronningen. A beautiful start to a promising future together. We're so grateful we were able to be a part of it. Thanks Kev and Vic!!! 

The Best man and our good friend, the Groom...Kevin. 

Even on a gloomy overcast day, the city shines.  

You're looking at one of the bravest women in the world. Joel's sweet, sweet mom, Sally. She VOLUNTEERED her time to wrangle our mini monsters while we fled to the Big Apple for a few days. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! The boys Nini also volunteered but was fortunate enough to narrowly escape the daunting task ... her presence was needed at another very special wedding. We're so lucky to have some loving mommies around us. 

Yep...those are mommy's shoes. Should we be worried? Porter is crazy about these shoes and a pair of my high heeled boots. We nearly couldn't leave the house today without them. 

"You want me to get in there?" It takes our little Porter Pumpkin some time before being convinced the water is safe. He was splish-splashing in no time. 

Max the Fearless. If it weren't for the very quick Megan...YIKES! Our little man loves the water and is ready to swim with the fishes.
