Random everyday Dylan

Been really lazy with blog posts this year.  

Blame it on iPhone, iPad, Instagram and Facebook...because that is where all our pictures are lately, since it is much quicker than uploading photos and blogging them. 

Here are a few random shots of Dylan from the last few months, she is two years old now, if you have lost track:

Sweden // Denmark

This year at work I am part of a National Training Team...

As part of this project I went to Sweden for a week in April. 

One great thing about this work trip was that my travel buddy happened to be a great friend of mine!  

Amy and I had a fantastic week of working (and a little fun at the end of the week in Copenhagen, Denmark).

Älmhult, Sweden...home of IKEA of Sweden (IOS)

 Växjö, Sweden...town where we stayed all week.  

(A 45 min train ride to and from Älmhult everyday.)

Älmhult Train Station

 Somehwere in Växjö

 Somewhere in the middle of Älmhult

 IKEA History Museum in Älmhult

 Växjö Train Station

 Doing some actual work. (Filming a training video.)

  More of Älmhult

 Breakfast is always one of the best parts of staying anywhere in Scandinavia.

 Växjö Train Station

A lot of train riding all week. 

Copenhagen Train Station 

Stayed at this hotel in Copenhagen 

 Copenhagen..on the Stroget (Downtown, main shopping area.)

 Nyhaven, Copenhagen

That is not a shot glass.  It is a water glass.  Never any ice and only this much water at dinner. 

Mexican Getaway

 David and I went to Cancun (without kids!) for a few days during the week of New Years.

Thanks to his parents for watching the shorties while we were away!

Took just a few pictures with my phone just to remember some of the fun...

View from room.  Horrible.

Pastey White.  Don't care.

Ate many plates full of fresh guacamole and pico everyday.

Best thing there. Hands down.

Enjoyed many fruity drinks and cervezas at this great little beach bar.

Went to a really corny New Years Eve party.  Very entertaining.

New Years Eve 

Fireworks on the beach at midnight.

Sunrise on New Years Day 2014.  Again, horrible.

That's it.  Then we came home and it was -3 degrees at the airport when we landed.  Worst cold and snow in Detroit history.  

We picked a great week to be away!

Brace Face

Dawson Joined the Metal Mouth Club this month.  

Here he is with his brand new upper braces and jaw expander:

This was a morning shot before getting his braces on:

Time will tell how long he needs to have them...until he has a beautiful straight smile.  
For now, a large portion of our paychecks will be headed in the direction of the office with that great (and expensive) salt-water fish tank shown above.
