Here are some pictures from this summer!!!



As you can see we had a crazy summer. Our daughter Audrey was born on June 18th weighing in at 8 lb. 12 oz. and 20.5 in. long. Both Erin and I loved having the summer off to spend time getting to know Audrey, she's a perfect baby. Andrew did have to work on week at a summer invention camp but all in all a pretty lazy summer. We traveled all over Minnesota to Park Rapids, Aitkin, Red Wing, Moorhead, and Hibbing. We also made it over the boarder to North Dakota to visit Fargo. We were able to spend a lot of time with our families and Audrey was able to meet many of her great aunts and uncles and 2nd cousins, too many to count. Audrey got to go to her first baseball game and watched the St. Paul Saints in their outdoor stadium, and she had a chance to swim in two pools and two lakes.

I'm sure Erin will agree that this was one of the best summers ever. We have a new addition to our lives now and a whole new adventure before us. We're back up in Nome, hanging out with friends and looking forward to (and dreading) school to start up again. We'll do our best to keep up with the blog this year but you'll have to forgive us if we get behind (as fun as she is Audrey takes up a lot of our time). Wish us luck on our second year of teaching!!
