Seeing Is Believing!

We knew that you'd never believe this one without a picture...our little Steve is just 3 months 3 weeks old but he's already standing on his own two feet!! All Angie is doing is holding on to Stevie's shirt to make sure he doesn't take a nasty spill, but he's doing it all by himself!

A Picnic in Central Park

We went to Central Park for a picnic today...here's some pictures.

This tree is HUGE!
Something that you may not know about Stevie is that trees are his favorite thing.
He is absolutely captivated by them!

My First Babysitter!

This is a picture of me and Joyce, my very first babysitter! Mom and Dad went to Sioux Falls for dinner at the Texas Roadhouse and Joyce took care of me. We had a great time, as you can see from the picture. Mom and Dad had a good time too, but they missed me a lot and ended up buying me some new toys...they can leave me with Joyce anytime they want!

Bathtime Fun!

Here's a picture of Steve and his best friend Marilyn in the bathtub in our hotel room last night. They had lots of fun splashing around together!

Blue Steel vs. Baby Steel

Auntie Miranda suggested that Stevie get into baby modeling...so we thought that we'd put him up next to one of the modeling greats, Derek Zoolander, and see how they compare. Stevie calls his look "Baby Steel." (if you didn't see the movie "Zoolander" then parts of this post won't make any sense)

First Family Vacation

Stevie's first time in a Hotel!


We are on our first family vacation in Storm Lake, Iowa! The picture below is the view from our balcony here at King's Pointe Resort. We're having a great time and Stevie is being so good. We are actually here for the Western Iowa Synod's annual Fall Theological Convocation, but it feels a lot like a vacation because it's a pretty laid back event. We've met a lot of great people which makes us feel all the more grounded and at home here in Western Iowa. Stevie's friend Marilyn is here with her parents, Adam and Karen Dichsen. We're going out to dinner with them tonight and then Stevie and Marilyn are going to splash around in the bath together. Woo-Hoo!
