Caleb's First Trip to MN and Other Random Moments

We did it... we made it through our first flight with Caleb! While it should have been a quick one hour leap up to Minnesota, it unfortunately would have been faster to drive the 6 hours than to fly. After a delay in Chicago, bad weather in MN and an "incident" at the airport (we weren't given any details other than that there was an incident that required we wait to land), we finally arrived in Edina for a much anticipated stay at Poppy & Gagu's. Thankfully Caleb was a champ and did very well on the flight. 

While in Edina, Caleb finally got to meet his Aunt Lisa, Uncle Dan, cousin Allie and Uncle John, Aunt Mary, cousins Josiah, Mercy & Daniel. We also celebrated Poppy's (Tim's dad) 65th birthday with family and friends. It was the perfect gathering to introduce Caleb to the Marches and Saunders. It was also a very memorable evening as many people shared their fond memories and admirations of John. We feel so blessed to have him in our lives, especially as Caleb's Poppy. 

We also celebrated our first Father's Day by spending the morning at the pool. It was Caleb's second time in the water, first time being dunked, and he loved it once again. If we weren't so biased towards football and soccer, I'd say we might have a swimmer on our hands! (don't worry, we'll let him try everything and decide which sports/hobbies he enjoys best :))

Another major event was Caleb's first rollover - from his back to his tummy! He has been close for a couple weeks now, making his legs and butt over, but he couldn't quite get his big head to turn all the way. 

Here are photos from our time in MN (we sadly forgot our camera so we only have a few pictures capturing our time in Edina), as well as some other random photos displaying Caleb's cuteness...
