First date, first tooth!

Through the power of cropping....(notice Gretta at the bottom left) and grandparents....we got away for a night!!


To Chanhassen Dinner Theater! It was a great treat from Josh's parents to take the girls for the night and send us to I Do! I Do! Great show, and our first date in....well, at least 6 months.

 
Maggie got her first tooth yesterday! She's pointing at it right here....

We wondered why all the fuss this week. Guess we got that figured out now!

Colorado....oh Colorado....

First, just have to add a couple more of Maggie, because she was extra cuteness this afternoon! Personality is starting to emerge.....


Now, on to our trip!
We had the most wonderful time in Boulder, it was a break from the neverending winter here and it was so much fun to spend time with family! Petra and Gretta were the best of friends and did I mention it was nice to get away from winter? It was in the high 50s all week (is it a little sad that high 50s was glorious?) and they don't really have much of that white stuff. Josh got to spend 3 days skiing in Breckenridge while the girls and I stayed with Jeff, Angelie & Petra, so before he headed out for skiing......
Did you notice I'm not even wearing a coat? WONDERFUL.

We took a little hike!

 
Maggie fell asleep, while Gretta...

Enjoyed climbing around the rocks!

We also went to the library and took in some story time. Super cool building!


Had to go to the park of course! We've been missing ours....its covered in, yep, SNOW.


Having a tea party on the deck.




L-O-V-E

A man-face beetle at the Butterfly Pavillion.










The girls LOVED the butterflies and chased them all around.


And also watched carefully.....

Beautiful mountains, lots of good food, good company and lots of fun! We drove out and the girls were great in the car. It was our first long road trip with kids and it went really well so we definitely would do it again! What more can we say?

6 months...a little late!

Well, since February is a short month I didn't know when Maggie was officially 6 months old, plus we were out in Colorado so we have been a little behind on things! So here are a few 6 month pictures and hopefully I'll get through our Colorado pictures soon and post some of our trip....oh was it fun!!!




Can't believe its half a year already!!! She is growing fast of course....
