Axel is 18 years old!

Agg. All the feels…Axel my first born. My beautiful blue eyed baby. I’m so proud of you. Here you are - entering the next giant chapter in your life- adulthood. You are so bold, brave, smart, compassionate and curious about the world. Keep exploring and learning how you can make your impact. I love you so much. Always remember your mom is your biggest fan. I now start to step into the audience of your life instead of being the co-director.  Please keep calling your mom :) 
Half way through senior year. 

Crazy fun chocolate and caramel cake - Goldbelly is the coolest place to order amazing cakes and food.

Tattoos with Axels face :)

Lutsen


Lunch spot in Duluth - the most delicious sandwich ever!! 

Yahtzee- Abel was the winner 

 

Christmas at Lutsen with my whole crew! What a wonderful three days. A few of us got sick with a cold, lots of coke meds, tons of great food, games, skiing , outside hot tubs and Christmas movies. Love a long weekend with my favorite people at a new cool place.
Matching hoodies 

Cool picture spot
Hand made by Sydney- I love it! 
Betty’s pie and dessert 

Not all the hills were open at Lutsen but plenty of the greens and blues were- which is prefect for me. The snow conditions were good and it was so much fun skiing some where new. We were able to ski in and out right from our place. 
The map 
Time together is the best! 
Dropping in 
Where we can dip over to the condo 

The rapture - this lift went super fast! 
The crew ! 
So cool being able to see Lake Superior while skiing 
The gondola 

Lutsen is so pretty 



Fatty packs for the kids :)
