How she keeps these on her face when they're upside down is a mystery to me...

Day 31 Saturday Sept 12

Day 30 Friday Sept 11


At Emma Krumbee's U-pick strawberry patch in Belle Plain, MN. Stella and Brooke did a lot more eating than picking...good thing Lindsay and I were there to pick up their slack! This is the only hydroponic strawberry patch in Minnesota and it's definitely the way to go when it comes to picking strawberries...no bending over, kneeling, or getting dirt under your nails...best of all, the strawberries are delicious! I picked 7.5# in just 30 minutes!

Day 18 August 30


Today I unpacked the boxes in Stella's room and she's been helping me go through everything. She loves wearing this bright orange vest and it looks great with her fuzzy, pink princess crown. It looks like I've dressed her up like this, but I didn't, and she gets very upset if I try to take them off!

Day 17 August 29


We are so excited to be in our new house, even though there's still a lot of unpacking to do. Here, Stella is trying to feed Elmo some of her cinnamon roll.

Day 16 August 28

We moved into our new home! We loaded everything from our apartment into a UHaul and also had our POD delivered to our house. POD + UHaul = lots of work! Thank goodness we had Joe and Seppy helping us load/unload everything! I didn't take any pictures today, but I know Seppy did...I'll be posting a picture of us standing in front of our house later!
