A small bit of our "up north" trip

Randy and the boys inside at Gooseberry Falls. (we were about to feed them and then head out. The really good trip pictures were captured on Randy's fancy camera. Most of what I have used on the blog thus far has been from my iPhone. Not the best quality but great for a quick point and shoot. Look for more GREAT photo's from our trip soon. I don't get cell service up at the cabin so my phone was put away for most of the trip.)

Gavin playing dress up with Daddy's hat. (in our cabin)

Griffin started sharing his smiles with us just before this trip. he had them for awhile, he just kept them for special occasions. :)

Getting ready for our annual "up north" trip

Both babies wanted to drive after we pulled over for a bottle/diaper change on our way. Griffin was being a show-off with the "look ma! no hands!!" bit.

Gavin took it much more serious. And then fell fast asleep. We'll wait a few more years before we try it again.

This is just a small portion of what it takes to go for a week now with the babes in tow.

Griffin was trying on his life vest to make sure he could go on the pontoon with Grandpa Witt.

Yes, look at those cheeks! The cap accentuates them.

Gavin is a travelin man

Since he learned to roll, he travels all over the place now and we find him in some predicaments. Most I have gotten a photo of but, the time he was at the top of the stairs...not so much.

Griffin is in the yellow/blue, Gavin is in the back of the photo by the white end table. (this was taken today-so it is way out of order but, I added it anyway)

He loves going back to this little corner.

That little blob in the sun is him. He rolled right over to it and layed there like a little puppy basking in the warmth.

First time swinging

Daddy and Griffin

Gavin fell asleep on the first push....notice the flat head? This was taken only a couple weeks after getting the caps. (in mid-August)

Daddy and the boys at Lake Nokomis. (on a cap break....they get to have them off for a few hours each day or if it is really warm out.)

They love looking at trees/leaves.

Strolling around

Gavin in front, Griffin in back. We sometimes walk in jammies....if they get up early and are squirrely, I get them out for some fresh air and then pray they take good naps.

Time to exersaucer

Gavin (on a cap break)

Griffin

New Chairs! (and a cap)

You can see Griffin's cap. We have some better pictures of them in the early days of cap wearing. I just need to find the cord to load those pictures to the computer....this is what I was saying in an earlier post--that we have gotten unorganized in the midst of this chaos we call life and having 3 cameras. Speaking of chaos, I keep getting sidetracked by my little buddies so please, forgive my typing errors. Mostly I am just trying to get the pictures on here as we have had lots of inquiries about the blog and my lack of posting.


1st family dinner. The boys got new highchairs loaned to us from Auntie Annette and Uncle Toby. They love sitting in them and are doing great at eating their first foods. We have lots of those pictures to come.

Great Uncle Dennis

Griffin and GU Dennis. (I found this one after I did the other family pics and I love it)

Just because....

I am the Momma and I just can't stand how cute my babies are! I sometimes find, or create, moments to snap away. This beautiful little sleeping Baby A is Gavin.

This precious little face is my Baby B Griffin.

And here they are again! Gavin (l) Griffin (r)

Griffin's smile didn't like to show up much for the camera at this stage but, I have plenty photo's now...will post those later.

Great Aunt's Mary and Carmen and Great Uncle Gene

Here is GA Mary holding Griffin while we get ready to head out. She showers the boys with love! They are so lucky to have her in their life.

Mary took them on their first walk with both of them sitting upright in the stroller. They loved it and haven't looked back. They now stroll like grown-up babies all the time.

Here is GA Carmen. She got lots of smiles from Gavin. I think he felt right at home when he was with them since he saw himself when he looked at GU Gene.

See?? I think they look like twins. :) Gavin is definitely a Witt no question about it....even though he has my sister's blue blue eyes.
