Following in the family's footsteps...

We've been told many stories by grandmas and great-grandmas of our heritage of climbing babies. Whether it is the time Nick climbed in the sink full of dish water fully clothed or when Grandpa Erickson climbed the ladder onto the roof, apparently Avery comes by it naturally. Unfortunately this time it was at her cousin Elsa's expense...

Happy Belated Birthday Baby...

Avery's first birthday has come and gone and here are the photos to prove it. Cake was tasty, but not messy enough for Dad, hence the additional squirt of whipped cream on her forehead.


Lots of family and friends came to share our joy with burritos and pie at Grandma & Grandpa Knudsen's.









And an oh-so-fun surprise visit from Aunt Heidi!

A ride on the fire truck with Cousin Marcus.




Puffs with Grandpa are the best finish to a fun birthday!
