March in Photos

It's playground time again! Still loves to swing, especially underdogs. Always have to say "One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go!" which reminds me of Grandma Rona getting up from her "davenport." 
Friday Dad-Soren adventure to the Science Museum. Dinosaurs forever. 
Family selfies with Solveig. 
Solveig's first trip to the donut shop. 
Another Friday adventure with Dad to the Train Museum. 
And another to the Como Zoo (lucky boy this month!).
Cuddles with Poppa Owen. This champ came and helped out a few days, bringing Papi to the vet, getting our groceries, and taking Soren to the park many times.
Solveig's first job interview. I think she's the reason mom got the job! 
Sleeping through a park visit. 
Love when Dad brings cupcakes home from work. 
First smiles! 
An adventure to Minnehaha Falls with buddy Filippo. Some patience was bought with lollipops.
Always cars. Always Lego garages. 
"Come here, girl!" 
"Mama, let me take your picture!"

Soren Turns Three! Party Edition

Soren Oscar Johnson is now officially a three year old. Or, as we sometimes joke, a "three-nager." We can already tell it's going to be an awesome year with this boy! We woke up birthday morning (remember his sister was10 days old at this point, which is why his mama looks like a zombie) and had elephant shaped pancakes bedecked with three candles. 
Then we ventured out to the Edinborough Park in Edina, where his ENTIRE family awaited. We were super excited to get to celebrate "3" with buddy-buddy Luke who turned three just two days later!
The kids played at the park until they were totally worn out. Then we feasted on pizza, fruit, and delicious cupcakes. A highlight was the animal and train toppers on the cupcakes (thanks Auntie Rebekah for that!).
 In addition to cousins Cormac, Liam, Lola, Kate, Luke, and Abby, we had friends Filippo, Jonas, and Lukas come too. Plus aunts, uncles, and "two Nannas, one Poppa, and one Boppa!" It was truly a party.
Lundquist cousins Liam (4), Solveig (10 days), Cormac (6), Lola (2), and Soren (3). 
Then the next day we got to go to the Oxford Community  Center waterpark. It's a blast for the kiddos, and the dads too (who utilized the water slide several times).
Solveig slept through everything. 
Johnson cousins Luke (3), Soren (3), Abby (10 months), Kate (5), and Solveig (11 days). Plus Poppa and Nanna.

Thanks to everyone who made Soren's third birthday so incredibly special and fun. We love you guys!
