Keeping busy and having fun!

Greetings from Minnesota! Even though I am not working, I still find it difficult to find time to sit down and update this blog. So, to catch you up on the past month, enjoy the pictures below. Activities include a trip to Wisconsin to see some of our closest friends who traveled from Knoxville, a camping trip to Lake Carlos State Park, a day at the beach with friends, a trip to Lake Mille Lacs, and a few from our new home in Shakopee, MN. Things are going so great and we are enjoying Minnesota so very much. Even though we miss our family in TN so very much, we cannot wait for them to come and visit so we can show them our new home and city.
Eli is everywhere these days. He has been on two wheels now for a few weeks and it is so much fun to see him discover his new talent. He is also identifying animals and pictures books and his favorite word and animal is a "fish", he can spot them a mile away. He and his dada have so much in common already.
We are so blessed to be where we are today.

Sending much love!!!!
