Cade and Soph's Pro Pics

 We got Cade's pictures taken!  We were waiting until he got his oxygen and monitor off- I wanted to be able to see his little face.  For the record, he's still on the monitor at night, but off during the day which makes him much more portable.  He can now go upstairs! The picture session was slightly disastrous, because Sophie wanted nothing to do with Cade.  I am always amazed when our photographer is able to capture pictures of her smiling. We are happy to have the pictures taken, and I promise that I will now send out announcements.

Buckets O' Fun!

 We have been going out to the cabin every weekend.  Sophie loves to play with the kids, and we love getting the extra help from Carl's parents!  One of Sophie's new favorite activities is filling buckets with water.  She plays with the buckets for hours. She fills one up in the lake, then takes it back and fills up another bucket.  It's a never ending process.  Sophie is not so sure about getting into the cold water, but she loves to play near it.  Since we spend all of our time at the lake, having her play near it is good enough!  Perhaps when the lake warms up she will be more inclined to get in.  Until then, the buckets will do!

Which bucket to choose?

Cade finds the lake very relaxing.

Grandpa gets some snuggle time in, and Cade naps on his extra full cheeks- they serve as a nice pillow!

Happy Father's Day!!

 We had a very low key Father's Day at home.  We mostly laid around, played, and read books.  Sophie loves to climb- she will climb anything-including her daddy!  Here is Sophie and Daddy reading books!
