Welcome to the world of blogging

Well, the day has finaly come.... the Mortensen Family has finally arrived in the world of blogs. I know for some, they thought the day would never come. Since we have great friends whose blogs we check frequently, we decided it is a great way to stay in touch.



This Summer began with an adventure and continues to keep us busy, happy, and enjoying new adventures. The day after Scott ended finals, we flew home to Utah to visit family. It was great! Scott started his internship at Mayo Clinic the end of May, and Will and I stayed in Utah for three more weeks. We got to go to the farm at Thanksgiving point where Will had his first pony ride! We attended my nieces wedding, played with all of his 24 cousins, had a family reunion, and got to enjoy a visit from Grandpa and Grandma Hopkins who live in Uruguay. I think the biggest event of our stay in Utah was that Will learned to walk! We video taped it so that Scott could see his first steps. Now, Will is walking everywhere, and got his first pair of walking shoes today, from Grandpa Hopkins.



We returned home to Minnesota tired, sick with colds, but SO EXCITED to see "daddy" Scott. So far, Rochester has had a lot to offer. We took a little trip to Forestville, where Will LOVED playing in the river. I thought he would be terrified, but he just crawled right in and sat in the freezing cold water for almost an hour. He loved looking at, and eating (sometimes) the rocks, sticks, and leaves floating by.



We hope you enjoy our blog and the pictures from the past few weeks of our lives. We continue to love living in Minnesota!
