Wisconsin Visit

Two weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to be able to spend 9 days in Wisconsin! We dropped Evan and Lily off in Black River and headed to Madison for Abby and Ryan's wedding. We had a fantastic time catching up with friends and family and Evan had so much fun hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Roseth!

 


On Sunday, we headed back to Black River and spent a few days with Erin's family. It was so nice to be back home for Evan to get to meet a few more friends and relatives for the first time! On Wednesday, it was time to head back to Madison again, this time with all of the kiddos! This was our first time meeting Mae, and Kristi, Matt, Greyson and Mae's first time meeting Evan! We had such a great time playing with the kids, going to the zoo, and Out for Ice Cream! Evan also got to go on his first brewery tour at New Glarus! Friday night, we even surprised Gramma Marilyn with a retirement party!




 
My favorite picture of these two :)

Hello and Welcome!



    Hello friends and family (and hopefully no creepy strangers...) we started this blog for a a few reasons: first, we didn't want to be "those people" who constantly post baby pictures and updates on Facebook that no one else cares about. Second, we wanted a way to chronicle all of Evan's memories and milestones in one place. And finally, we needed something to do with the gazillions of pictures that we take of the little man everyday :)

   Below, for your viewing pleasure, are some pictures from Evan's 3 month photo shoot, aka "This is was $50 gets you." Some are super cute, others...not so much.
Evan's mug shot. Crime: Taking all the milky
I like this one of Kurt and I, Evan's looking for a fist-bump I guess...
A stock image for kidnapping...
Cute "candid" even though the grass was soaking wet...
About the 2nd picture we took and Evan's already over it...
One of my favorites, even with Kurt's white socks :)
Just a couple of guys, hanging out in the woods
Wondering when he's due for more milky
