Easter at Camp Weber

By
Cousins - Evie, Marit and Theo and Josie
We had a quick trip to Camp Weber (the name for Auntie Annie and Uncle Eric's awesome house in Blaine, MN) over Easter weekend to celebrate cousin Evie's 2nd birthday and meet our new cousin, Josephine, for the first time. We got to meet the Eater bunny at the Cummings Park Egg Hunt and then eat cake and help Evie open presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Then we went swimming at the Shoreview Community Center and I even went down the super high waterslide two times! Auntie Rita bought me goggles so I could show her my crawl stroke and she played with me in the water. We had the whole Rocheford family over for Easter brunch and cousins Lauren and David helped hide the Easter eggs in the backyard. I found the most and traded David some candy for his paper monies (dollar bills). It was a fun weekend and we enjoyed the sunshine, spending time with family, and meeting our new cousin. Mommy said that it is a good thing we like them because otherwise she wouldn't take Marit and I alone on the airplane ever again (something about Marit and I fighting over the window seat, me laying down in the middle of airport and not wanting to carry by suitcase, and spilling my milkshake all over the floor before take off had something to do with it). Next time, Grandma and Grandpa get to fly with Marit and I (and baby sit us for 2 weeks) and I am sure we will be perfectly behaved ;)

Downtown, downtown!

Benziger Family in Chi-town 2019 Downtown What you see is what you get girl Don't ever forget girl Ain't seen nothing yet until you're Downtown Have you heard the song,  "Downtown, downtown" by Macklemore? Our one trip this summer was a long weekend going downtown - to Chi-town. A quick 1 hour direct flight from Duluth makes it an easy get-a-way with lots of great restaurants and cultural opportunities for the big and little kids. Luck for me, our Thursday night flight was delayed two-hours so that I finished reading all my echocardiograms and cleaned out my Epic in basket with just enough time to spare to get home, change clothes, finish packing and leave our house exactly 1 hour prior to flight departure and still drive to the airport, park, check a bag, get through security, and buy some candy before the plane started boarding! Gotta love the DLH international airport! "Long" security lines at the airport < 1 hour prior to flight...

Welcome to the world baby Theo!

   Our little baby, Theodore James, was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle last week. He was born early because mom developed some preeclampsia which necessitated his sooner-than-expected delivery. Boy was he a peanut - weighing in at 5 lbs. 9 oz.! He had to spend a few days in the Infant Special Care Unit because he had low blood sugar and needed IV fluids and frequent blood sugar monitoring. He was such a champ and tolerated the heel sticks without a peep and didn't mind the continuous heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring either. We were lucky that he had a full time nurse watching him so we could get some sleep those first nights but then we quickly became accustomed to his rigorous schedule of feeding every three hours - 3, 6, 9, and 12 around the clock to maintain his blood sugars above a certain level. After four long days in the hospital, we were discharged home. Since coming home, I'd say this was the longest week of my life as it was full of new ...

THEO! Our baby boy is 12. From 5 lbs, 9 oz and 18 inches to over 90 lbs. and 5' 4", he's not such a little peanut anymore. He enjoys playing lots of sports - soccer, basketball, volleyball, disc golf, mountain biking, and gaga ball in gym. He loves swimming, tubing and knee boarding at the cabin. In the winter he loves sledding at Holy Rosary and skiing at Spirit Mountain. He's in his 6th year of piano with Ms. Roberta and wants to do the drums in middle school next year. His dream day is to play Fortnite all day and night with his friends. He's kind, competitive, and funny. He's a good friend and does very well in school.  Theo winning the golden boot at his last tournament game for Gitchi Gummi Theo's birthday interview What's your n...
