Sisters Weekend in Fargo

This weekend was our annual Gundersen girls weekend. We had a blast together, doing everything that sisters and girls do. We stayed up late, ate great food and desserts, drank lots of coffee and talked til' our ears were worn out. There's nothing better than sisters. We made some great memories!!

Most Dayz

Most days this is what you see around our house, Daddy with his boy, just chillin'.

Visiting Fargo

This weekend my sister Julie moved from Colorado up to Fargo. She and Jane are living in an awesome townhome and were in the process of painting this past weekend. It was SO fun to visit them and see all the decorating they had done.


My very good friend, Julia, stopped over mid-morning to my sisters new place and see Isaiah. It was wonderful to see her again!

Mom's Bread

Tada!!! I successfully made my mom's famous bread. Thanks for the reciepe mom!!

God's Love through Isaiah

Our growing boy gets bigger and bigger everyday. We are so glad to have this little one in our life. Lately I have been thinking how much I love Isaiah and how I would do anything for him. Then, I realized that Christ's love must be just like that....and he did do the "anything" for me....he died for me. What a joy it is to get a little piece of God's love through a baby.

For Grandma & Grandpa

I just thought I would crack a little smile for my grandpa and grandma who are far away in Norway right now. I love you guys!! I hope you're doing well. I'm sure you miss me everyday, but I am doing just fine. I can't wait til you get home, so you can hold me and make me smile. After all, it's all about ME nowadays :) Shhhh.....don't tell my mom!

Bath Time

Our little duck after an evening bath....what a sweetie!

Congrats Jane!

This weekend my youngest sister moved into her first place ever in Fargo, ND. She got a townhome located in SW fargo in a great location, with an awesome job to go with it!! Congrats, Janie on making such a great move!

Our little TV lover

One of Isaiah's new favorite ways to entertain himself is to watch sports. It's amazing because he's not so interested in TV in programs in general, but whenever he sees a game on, football or baseball, he is GLUED to the television. Probably not something we are going to encourage forever, but for now it's great when we are trying to do something.

A visit to Cooperstown

This weekend we visited my sister and her family in Cooperstown. It was such a nice, quick little get-a-way for the three of us. It seems like if we don't physically leave town on the weekend, we don't take a break from our jobs. So, this weekend we went to Cooperstown to help out by taking care of my sisters kids for the whole day on Saturday. We make cookies for breakfast, played with dogs and kittens, rode dirt bikes and four wheelers and caught gardner snakes (DAN and the boys did NOT me). To say the least we had a blast with our nieces and nephews! Umm, umm......fresh cookies....
Miss Holly LOVES her animals, especially her kitties!So cute! Isaiah just relaxing sitting between his two cousins. Of course the cousins had to try making him wear hats that were too big. All they end up doing is falling over his face anyway. :)

Even with a pacifier in his mouth Isaiah still can't hide those giggles. Auntie Lisa just loves her cuddly moments with Isaiah. She his special aunt since she was a part of his birth day.
Isaiah's cousins just LOVE spending time with him. They took turns holding him, tickling him and making him giggle. They are so glad they have a little boy cousin!
Miss Holly is the little monkey in the family! She is so sweet and makes everyone laugh!

Japanese Jinbei

Do you see Japan in future?? This is one of the cute japanese outfits I recieved from friends overseas in Japan. My mommy and daddy's friends, Tomoko-san and Uwe-san sent this to me for my birth day. I will fit into it really well next spring and maybe go to some matsuri, if we can find one in MN that time of year. :) Hello! Tomoko and Uwe!!! THANK YOU for my new outfit. It really matches my eye color well!

Shall we Chat?

Just like dear old mom and dad. Isaiah looks like he is raring up to have a full on conversation with you. Is this signs of things to come? .... What a cutie!

So... what should we talk about?

You don't say?

Can you believe it?

Gimme a pound!

Look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you!

Hanging with Grandpa

Isaiah sure likes chillin' with Grandpa when he can. Can you see the bubbles he's starting to make?

The Bumbo

Today Isaiah tried out his new Bumbo that he got from the Bethel staff. Isaiah is just 5 days away from being 3 months old. He LOVED it and was not happy when I took him out. You can see the progression....so cute.
King of His Throne.
MOM!!! Put me back in my throne!

A Good Night Sleep

Guess who slept through the night?? Yep, this little champ did!!! I woke up yesterday morning with a start, hurrying into Isaiah's room making sure he was ok. He was....sleeping soundly. I couldn't believe it! I had my 1st solid 7 hours of sleep in almost 3 months. It was awesome!

Our Happy Boy

Our Mr Giggles!! Isaiah is such a riot sometimes. When Dan or I laugh he starts too! He is sooo fun and is such a delight!

NY: Part 2

During the last few days on Long Island Isaiah got to spend time with his Nanny and Papa. It was really fun for them to have time with him and get to know him better. We even got to see Papa for about 36 hours! Hopefully we'll see them all again sooner than later.

Nanny & Papa with their 3 grandboys...when are we going to add some girls to this party!?

We also got to see some friends while we were on Long Island. This is Dan's cousin and his fiance

The whole reason for going to NY was for Dan to be the best man in his good friend's wedding. This is the only picture that turned out.

We really had a nice time after the ceramony wsa over. There is just nothing like a NY cocktail hour and reception.

Our wee little family!
