Christmas in July!

As our family grows and new limbs are added to the family tree (four more babies coming soon!) it's hard to find a time and a spot where we can all comfortably gather. So we decided to celebrate our Dorato Christmas in July this year. The kids were able to swim while the adults visited poolside in Dana and Adam's Margaritaville backyard. Carson received his first Christmas present! The evening ended with fireworks over Muskegon Lake at Lois and George's. A perfect, relaxing day.

Bowman here we come!

On Friday we are heading to North Dakota for a fun-filled and relaxing week with Grandma and Grandpa Groll, Aunt Jenn and Bobby, along with attending Ryan's ten-year reunion and the Bowman County Fair! We are sooo excited to see everyone and watch Carson interact with his grandparents and aunt. He has grown and changed so much over the past few months since their last visit! We'll also make a trip to introduce Carson to his great-grandparents!

Carson will experience his first plane ride- let's hope for a happy baby that day!

I promise to post lots of pictures from our trip soon, as well as from our busy past few weeks with T.J. in town, 4th of July, family Christmas in July, and Nerheim reunion at Barothy Lodge. Check out Aunt Kate's blog and the Lallo family blog for some cute family shots from the weekend.

Welcome home TJ!

T.J. arrived this morning on his red-eye flight from Cali. He and Carson are both taking a nap right now so I thought I'd post a few pictures from his arrival. Looking forward to two exciting weeks with "Uncle T!" Welcome home big brother. We've missed ya like crazy. Can't wait to hear all about the USS Nimitz and the awesome adventures in the US NAVY.

Just Bouncing Around

Carson's favorite thing to do - bounce in his cool new jumperoo! Pictures are a bit blurry- you can't keep the kiddo still in this new toy!



Apparently it's exhausting working those pudgy little legs!
