First timers....


We took our first family trip and Gretta's first flight. She did a great job by sleeping most of the time. I think having to be at the airport by 4:00 a.m. helped! We flew into Bangor, ME and bummed around Acadia Nat'l Park. Then drove down to Holyoke, MA for Josh's cousin Kate's wedding to Nat. It was a very fun trip, but went way too fast and there was not enough time to check out all we wanted to on the east coast, so we will definitely have to check it out again sometime!


It was also her first time in a pool!

Ready for Kate and Nat's wedding!






LOBSTER! Of course we enjoyed all the fresh seafood. We tried lobster rolls, lobster boiled, lobster ravioli, shrimp, crab cakes, scallops and had many bowls of clam "chowda" DELISH!

No time to talk!

We had Abby and Nick's wedding (CONGRATULATIONS!!!) this past weekend and we are headed out to the east coast for Josh's cousin Kate's wedding this coming weekend so there is just no time to talk right now! However, we'll post a few pictures to keep you from wondering if we're still here!



The many faces of Gretta


Seriously guys, could you take any more pictures??

Happy Anniversary to Us!

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary today and in honor of the video that wouldn't work at our wedding we thought we'd post it....maybe it will work now?? :) Its fun to look at and see our baby/kid pictures and compare them to Gretta now. We have to say she is definitely our child!

2 down and 5 to go....

WEDDINGS! So far we've been to 2 of our 7 weddings this summer. We have been a little busy the last couple of weeks starting with the 4th of July we picked Jess's brother and his wife Angelie up at the airport. They had their own activities for the day so we went to Josh's family friends' annual 4th event.

Happy 4th of July!


Gretta turned 3 months old on July 5th.





Then on the 6th we had Gretta's baptism.
Here we are with the Grandparents at baptism. Grandpa Fred baptized Gretta on July 6.

Her godparents are Jess's brother Joel and Josh's sister Molly.

We then headed up to Jess's parents cabin for a few days which was a lot of fun having all the siblings in one place to relax for a few days.





We came back and started the weekend with Thursday going to a shower for Molly, rehearsal and groom's dinner for her and Elden's wedding and then Jess scooted out to go to a baby shower for Angelie. Friday was Molly and Elden's wedding day! It was a gorgeous day and the ceremony was beautiful. During the reception there was some excitement with tornado warnings and we were all sent to enclosed rooms, but it didn't last long and we were happily able to celebrate for the rest of the night! Saturday we had a brunch and gift opening and then dinner with all of Josh's dad's family who were all in town for the wedding.

Congratulations Molly and Elden!
