Family Portraits

Today we went and had our first family portraits taken. It was amazing to find even a couple in which we all looked pretty good. Here are a few of our favorites.

Some Cute Pics

Here is a variety of pictures of Cole that we've taken over the past week or so. Now that we are more settled into our new house, we should be able to keep up better with the blog....although Mommy is heading back to work in a couple of weeks....so we'll see. Note the blue, BLUE eyes. I thought BROWN was supposed to be dominant?!?!

P.S.

Cole weighed 18 pounds, 14 ounces yesterday, on his 6-month birthday!

Six Months!!

Our baby boy is getting so old! He's sitting up on his own (for short periods until he faceplants), and is even able to stay on hands and knees for a second or two. Still drooling like a madman, by the way. It's hard to believe that just six short months ago we were bringing him home for the first time! We're still short of sleep, but slowly trying to catch up. He's worth every blurry-eyed moment. Thanks to all our family and friends who have given us such tremendous support. We feel as lucky as Cole would feel if he had a clue what was going on around him.

Hayward

We spent the weekend with the Iversons in Hayward, Wisconsin at Spider Lake Golf Resort. The boys (Daddy, Grandpa, and Uncle Brad) got plenty of golfing and boating in during this trip. We were fortunate that the weather forecast for thunderstorms was wrong! We also had dinner at a very unusual resort in Cable called Garmisch. If you're ever in the area, check it out....if you can find it! Very unique. Sunday we spent the afternoon cruising Round Lake and tubing and waterskiing. What a great trip!

Annual Apostle Islands Trip

Cole's first dinghy ride

Hiking the Tombolo trail in the baby backpack

I know, we haven't posted anything for awhile. Well, we've been BUSY! We are (mostly) settled into our new house and are LOVING it! We chose the two hottest days of the year to move, and it was pretty miserable....but worth it. We are thrilled.



This past weekend we took our annual trip to the Apostle Islands on Grandpa and Grandma Sharrow's sailboat. They were out for about 10 days, but we just went for a long weekend. It was Cole's first overnight cruise, and he seemed to enjoy it! He loved hiking in the baby backpack on Daddy's shoulders, and even fell asleep during a 4-mile hike on Stockton Island. Cole also got to meet his Uncle Todd for the first time while he was visiting from Montana.
