Oh...SOREN!!!

When are you coming home???? Kai's best buddy here in Minneapolis (not to be confused with Kai's best buddy, Soren, in Duluth) has been in Ireland for 2 months. Today, while walking past his house, Kai just looked at me in utter exasperation and said, "Mama, Soren, home, NOW!!!"

We agree-- get yourselves back here quickly! We've missed you!!!

MN Zoo

We love Kai's Montessori School. He has grown and learned so much since attending the school since the Fall. It's an amazing group of kids and families and the staff is just unbelievable. Joe and I couldn't be more happy to have Kai go there 3 times a week.

We went on a community outing to the MN Zoo to see the baby farm animals. I actually think Kai was more excited about the tractors but this goat got him pretty excited too. Actually, he was more in awe of watching the babies nurse on their mothers.

Our boy likes to boogie...

Kai loves to be naked and Kai loves to have tatoos. I'm still laughing about this tatoo. He asked Joe if he could put it on his "pee pee" and when Joe said he had to wait until he was 18 years old to do that all Kai said over and over again was "Why?" It's actually a good question, Joe......why?

Duluth with Ella and Soren

Kai and I joined Joe in Duluth (where Joe goes weekly for work) for a few days of relaxation and fun. Kai loved the hotel. It turns out that for a social guy like Kai, a hotel is a dream come true!
He met tons of kids and figured out which room they were staying and he would go and knock on the door and ask them to come out and play. The pool was another highlight and it confirmed to us, once again, that Kai has no fear of water and he loves to jump in (with or without an adult waiting for him-- yes, I know, scary!). Sarah (Paar) and Tolga Hanhan live in Duluth and we hosted a pool party for the Hanhan kids. Kai loves Soren and Ella and here are a few photos of Kai working his magic on Ella!
