We entered our wedding reception as husband and wife to the Star Wars theme song!

Amie thanks Carl's niece for being our flower girl.

We traveled to Mexico for our honeymoon and enjoyed exploring the ruins.

At the Luxor in Las Vegas for a weekend getaway.

In Minnesota where we traveled for our friends' wedding.

We LOVE going to the beach! It's great for the whole family, including the dog.

Carl likes trying to lure Abby into the water (she usually makes him go first...)!

Carl doesn't just cook - he catches dinner too!

During our recent trip to Mexico we traveled to a small town only accessible by boat and hiked to this waterfall.

In Hawaii where we traveled with a large group of friends to attend a wedding.

Amie (right) with her mom and sisters during their traditional holiday lefse bake.

Always the Star Wars fans, we dressed up for our annual Pumpkin Carving Party one year. Amie's sister surprised us in a Darth Vader costume. Abby-D2 had already shed her costume at the time of this picture.

As one of our friends put it, "My dog and my son are always very excited to see Carl."

Handyman Carl preps our nursery-to-be by puting up wainscoting.

Abby thanks Carl for taking her on a charity walk to support the animal shelter where we found her.

This is our favorite picture of Abby. She loves sleeping on her back on the couch, but only when she thinks no one is looking. We caught her in the act!
