October/November

Wedding in Milwakee

Walking along the pier

 Visiting the Art Museum (and snack bar)

 Nothing like the Irish Pub for lunch

All dressed up and hanging out in the hotel 

Just a great photo of Sarah and Greg

Snacking with Grandpa Dave before the reception

Somebody is very tired - and Mia is asleep too
(I think that I(Jessi) made it a good 3 more minutes before heading back to the room to sleep)

Halloween PJ's from neighbor Pam

Halloween

Mia the Monkey is off to School (Daycare)

Then off to Trick-or-Treat with Mary Poppins (Ella) and Bert (Sammy)

Always an adventure getting 3 kiddos to sit together and look in the same direction

Quite the crowd wandering down the street

Christmas City of the North Parade

Mia got to ride on the Children's Museum Float for the parade.  The paparazzi went NUTS! 

Time to recover - nothing like a little juice after so many photo ops ;)

Bobcats for Breakfast

This was an awesome moment...

September overview

Fun at the Minnesota State Fair

Mia actually loved the animal barns despite looking lethargic here.

Ok, but maybe she wasn't so keen on the accessories...

A beautiful day for the Fair!

Tired and ready for storytime!
But always ready to get up the next day for a trip to the park!

Someone had too much fun :)

The Christenson's had a long layover in Minnesota so we got to have a picnic. Mia loves her cousin Hannah!

A little colder in Duluth but so many fall outfits to wear!

Nappin' with Grandpa Howie (I think they are watching a video on the battle of ...zzzzzzz)

Seriously, she wouldn't eat anything but broccoli!
Farewell dinner for Audrey -- Good luck lady!

Baby Carter came to visit

Staycation August 2011

Since we had been traveling for Pretty much the entire months of July and August... we decided to take a Stay-cation. That is where we took vacation days and stayed at home. We had never done this before but were so happy we did. We went on little half-day trips and then would come home for naptime and stick around to do things at home in the evenings. What a perfect week. Here are some of the photos we took.

Just hangin' around my house!
Chalk Day (which was pretty much every day)

Sleep In Day

9AM Pj's are a rare thing at the Linde house

Mia discovered her new love of pushing this chair back and forth across the porch... who knew

Zoo Day

Aquarium Day

Park Day

Even Aunt Sarah and Greg came up for a night
