Date night!

How have we lived in Duluth for SIX years and never went mountain biking??  We decided for our anniversary that we wanted to get a babysitter and do something that we can't do with Gideon… mounting biking would be a little tricky with him!  Duluth is a mountain bike mecca with almost 100 miles of single track in town.  We literally drove 4 minutes from our house to get to a trail and it was so so so awesome!  After our first ride I might have a slight obsession and can't wait to get out again!  We packed a picnic and after biking we hiked up to a lookout and had dinner on a giant rock in Hartley Park.  It was my kinda night... no make-up, no noise, no people… just us (and the mosquitos).





Ummm chocolate merlot wine fudge on top of strawberry shortcake with homemade whip cream… YES PLEASE!


We also had our very first babysitter!  Taylor goes to our church and is my friend Anna's babysitter.  Anna has THREE boys and a girl… so if Taylor can handle that she can handle anything. haha.  She did awesome!  She is the sweetest girl and has such a fun personality.  Gideon loves her already!

Growing Boy

Agh - I need to get better at blogging!  A post a week.  That's my goal. Don't hold your breath.

Here is Gideon at each month.  He is such a great baby and changing so much right now.  He hugs me now, I mean c'mon lay off the cuteness Gideon!
