Theo @ 3 Months

 Our little Theo is growing like a weed. I feel like I'm always moving him up a size in clothing.

Everyone always mentions how big and grownup he looks.

He loves keeping his hands in fists and has recently started holding things if you put it in his hands.


He still loves to sleep. When he's awake he's happy for awhile then realizes he's awake and gets mad until he falls asleep again.


He goes to bed between 7:30-9, wakes up between 3am-6am and usually gets up for the day at 8:30. He still takes 5 naps during the day.


He's started sucking his wrists when he wants to sleep.

He's happiest when facing forward and has to sit with us when we eat.


He's the most upset when he takes a bath. He's only been fine with a bath like 3 times, otherwise he screams bloody murder.

He's discovered tv and tries to watch whenever it's on.

He's a fast nurser. Only nurses for about 10 minutes tops, but refuses a bottle.

He has graduated to cloth diapers, although his thighs are still not quite as big so he occasionally leaks.

He has had his first sickness already. He picked up a chest cold from his big sister. Luckily it didn't seem to bother him.

He currently loves his mobile over his diaper changing area. I switched out the black and white patterns for pictures of people. He just loves it. He smiles and talks to those pictures whenever we change his diaper.

The 8th Installment of a Thing We Call Northwoods New Year's Eve

Thursday I took a half day at work so we could make it up north before it got super late. When we arrived we brought in our stuff, turned on the heat and headed back into town to get groceries. We had hoped to get another rotisserie chicken, but they were out. I chose a pastie for my meal. Meadow and I went for the classic, off-brand, box mac and cheese. We made too much and shared it with Brooke. I went right to work making my ice molds. She's always making luminaries if it's freezing outside and we're at the cottage.

A 250th 4th of July in Three Lakes

A couple of weeks after we were last up at the cottage, you say? Not soon enough, we say. We assumed dinner would have already been done by the time we arrived so we stopped to eat at Culver's in Rhinelander. While we were eating, I got a text from my dad saying he was in Rhinelander with Chelsea at Urgent Care. I guess Viola had taken a hard fall. When we got to the cottage Daniel was just starting dinner.  We hadn't seen Viola since Christmas, she's a little girl now. She was super shy around us at first.  She did also just get back from the hospital. I'm not sure if I approve of fireworks the night we get there, but due to scheduling conflicts that's when Three Lakes got in their fireworks show. 2nd of July fireworks would do. The next morning Blake made us croissant breakfast sandwiches for breakfast. Then Viola and I played down by the dock. Theo would have made a good big brother. Chelsea gave her boys haircuts and even trimmed my neck hair. Every boat we own ...

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
