midwife visit


I am now 36 week prego!! Yeah only 32 days or so to go. We are all very excited to celebrate our babes new arrival. I am not sure how much bigger my belly can get-enjoy the picture from last Saturday.

Below are pictures of the family at our now weekly Midwife visits. Katie is a fantastic Midwife and we are so happy to have her attend the birth. Katie also delivered Myla, so they have their own special little bond. Myla is Katie's helper to hear the little Voelker's heartbeat. Each visit Myla gets to put jel on the soundmachine and help Katie to keep it on my belly. It really is the cutest thing to see Myla's face filled with pride and love as she gets to be the big sister.

Swimming in Superior Waters

It has been a beautiful 2 weeks in Duluth. These few weeks in July and August when the weather is perfect, the water is warm and Duluth is at it finest. These are the days I think about on -30 degree day in January.




Well Myla and went down to the beach for a relaxing swim and playtime in an endless sandbox. Myla loves the water and has no fear of just jumping in head/face first. It was a sweet little time for me to spend with Myla. We both had lots of fun!!


Friends and Birthdays




Myla had her last Birthday party this past Monday. She celebrated with her dear friends Connor, Issac and Zoey. My friend Jessica hosted the event for about 10-12 kids and there parents. We all had a great time as the kids were just in a great moods, playing and sharing with each other.

Tall Ships

This past weekend 3 beautiful old pirate like ships came to the Duluth Harbor. Myla and I ventured down to the canal to view them coming in. It was fun-but I have never seen so many people in Canal Park before.

We also decided to return to Canal Park this last Monday to get an up close view of the ships and see one of them depart.

It was really beautiful and unique experience to see these ships and also another reason to live in Duluth! They are planning to have ships back in 2 years and I would suggest a visit to see them.
