Brown Bear, Brown Bear ....

In honor of one of Aksel's favorite books, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, here is our own "little" brown bear.

Yes We Can!

Barack's elegant style speaks to people of all ages!

Talkie, talkie...

Well, we'll have to work to clean up the grammar, but he likes to make his opinions known!

3 Months of Aksel

Well, we're home from Mexico and we're just 4 days shy of Akel's 3 month birthday. To celebrate, I put a chronological video together for everyone to enjoy!

Some Aksel Images...

From his first visit to the Chicago area. He had so much fun meeting all of his relatives and helping his Grandpa making coffee and assisting in JesusCreed posts!

G'day from Aksel!

4 and Counting

Last week Annika and I celebrated our fourth year of marriage, and what better way to reflect on our wonderful time together than to look back on a few pictures of us together over the years. Enjoy!






What fun! We can't wait to see what's in store for us in the next four years (and beyond)!

Is This the Real Life, or Is This Just Fantasy?

Aksel's had a charmed existence thus far; each weekend of his life, he's had visitors traveling from far and wide to come see him, hold him, and ogle his every move.

This weekend, Annika's sister, Jessica, had a belated wedding reception in Jamestown for the family that could not make it to her Chicago wedding. Joining her were her husband, Ryan, as well as Aksel's aunt Erica. Even Slater and Meriam had company, as cousin Cody joined them on their journey.

As always, we loved having the visitors!

We've been trying to prepare the little guy to let him know that it will just be us this weekend, but maybe there's someone around that will find some time to keep him company.
