From the beginning...

We would not be adoring parents without starting our blog "retroactively" to when our family really began....

Here is one of our first official "family" pictures taken in Hawaii while we were pregnant with Collin. It was a fabulous trip and the first of our family travel experiences.

Since this first "family vacation" we have traveled to Florida several times to visit my dad and his wife. Although Collin has yet to swim in the ocean (cold!) he has enjoyed the ocean breezes, the great weather and the sandy beaches...he is quite the outdoorsman and loves being outside.

These days we "travel" to the park near our house several times a week, although we do have more adventurous trips planned for the remainder of the summer. This month we will be taking our first camping trip to Alexandria, MN and in August we will be traveling to Iowa to visit friends. We'll be sure to keep you all up to date on those excursions!
