Scuba Bunny Ben



Ben was the ultimate in celebrating the joy of Easter this year! He brought laughter and smiles to everyone who visited the aquarium. I even received an underwater kiss!

By the way, Ben, the jellyfish exhibit ROCKS!!

3rd Anniversary

Three breaths in 300 balloons! Ben outdid himself for our third anniversary. When we arrived home from Charleston, I found a symbolic representation of all the wonderful times that we have had. I love you ( 300 x infinity) Ben!!

St. Patty's Day




What better way to celebrate St. Patty's than with family! We flew to see Gretchen and the cousins met for the first time! Thanks to the Anderson's for Finn's Irish bib!

Aunt Sharleen's Quilt



It arrived! It arrived! My Aunt Sharleen is an amazing woman who dabbles in many artistic mediums including quilts. She had made one for each of her great nephews and niece (soon to be niece(s)? We don't know if Gretchen is having a boy or a girl yet!). Finley's quilt arrived a couple of days ago and it is a very special treasure. She included a note that tells where each piece of cloth/design came from and a bag to store the quilt in to preserve it in the future. She added that she couldn't resist the fish backing! :) THANK YOU!!

Sushi Explosion

What a delightful evening! Chris and Becca took us out for an evening of aesthetic, gastronomical, and social delights! We went to Wasabi in downtown Minneapolis and had an enormous variety of some of the best sashimi and hamachi I have had! It was such a treat - I had given up sushi throughout the pregnancy and it was fantastic to experience it once more. Thank you!

Underwater World

Ben and I met some great family friends at Underwater World for Jack's 10 year birthday and Finn's 1 month celebration. It was so neat to see everyone and get a great behind the scene tour from ScubaBen. We were able to watch a shark feed and see Calypso - the enormous loggerhead sea turtle up close. The jellyfish exhibit is coming soon!

Finn meets Harper

The Swifts came to visit and brought us some yummy Jimmy John's! What a great treat! However, the best parts of the day included lil' Harper and baby Finn meeting one another - along with Harper showing off her newly acquired rolling over skills. How fun!!
