Trip to Bemidji

This was Derek's first time to Bemidji and Emily had only been there when she was really small. Both kids had a wonderful time. Here are some of our favorite photos...

Mommy, Derek and Emmy meeting Babe
Great Grandma Jean and Emmy standing on Paul's foot
I need to check this place out! Mom you should see the size of this guy's toothbrush!!
Another piano classic.
Any requests?
Grandma P and Grandma Jean
Is this seriously breakfast??
Why do you have to take a picture of me doing everything?
Derek, can you stop eating just for a second so I can take your picture? No?
Someone has just discovered the world of Barbie. Watch out.
Funny...I don't remember taking either of these pictures.
Nice photography Em!!
Gee, that water looks cold!! Not for Emily!
Derek was thinking, "I'll take a nice hot bath over that cold water any day". How 'bout we just sit on the beach?
Keep me warm Grandma!

Little d's First Haircut

Ok, ok...so this happened in the beginning of Sep but I'm just getting around to posting this now. We were on our way out of town when Grandma treated all of the kids to new haircuts. Derek was a good boy when he was having his hair trimmed. The stylist was even able to use the trimmer around his ears.


And then there's Emily who breezes into the place like an old pro. Right now she's looking at the jar of suckers on the stylists station trying to figure out which one is hers after all of this sitting still business.
Looking good Derek!!
This is taking FOREVER!!! Where's my sucker?!?!
Poor Ruby. This is not going well.
