Dylan's First Video

Week Off

Mollie and I took a week off of work to enjoy the 4th of July, get some things done around the house and take a little summer vacation to the wonderful town of Breckenridge, Co.

Over the fourth we made it to my old neighborhood to visit with friends but Dylan did not make it to the fireworks so we missed the St. Cloud fireworks show. the next morning we road the wobegon trail to Albany with Justin and Tara for a wonderful breakfast at the hilltop.

On Wednesday morning Mollie and I flew to Co. to finish up some wedding planning and take a little vacation. Aunt Nikki, Grandma Trixie and Grandpa Bob all helped us out by watching Dylan. I am not sure who had more fun Dylan or aunt Nikki.

We ended the wonderful weekend celebrating Mollie's Birthday at Mollie's uncle Ricks cabin on Saturday and eating crab legs with Rosie and Barnie on Sunday.

Dylan's Helmet

We took Dylan in for another visit to the plastic surgeon and he would like to see another month or two of Dylan in the helmet. I guess the Dr. wants the perfectly round head. Oh well, it does not seem to phase him one bit (see picture from daycare below). Mollie and I are sort of glad he is wearing it because he is rolling across the floor and learning to crawl, there have been many head bumps so far in the learning process.

Mothers Day

We had a great weekend. We met some friends in the little town of Sobieski, MN and had dinner and beers at a Herbies. It was a fun night.

Saturday we slept in!!! Dylan decided not to get up at his usual 645 am so we took advantage of a couple extra hours of sleep. Mollie went to the play "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" with her girlfriends and then out for dinner and dessert. She said they had a great time.

Sunday started with a brunch at the Blue Heron with Mollie's family for Mothers Day. Then we bought a tree for our yard. It is a Lilac tree. Dylan had a grand time at Huls Nursery riding on the wagon with Mollie's new sand cherry bush.

We have two robin nests in our yard, one in the front tree and one under the deck. I was able to snap a photo through the deck boards without getting attacked by mama robin. The nest in the front still has eggs and, if you can make them out, the one under the deck has three baby robins. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, Mrs. Robin!
