Jam Packed Week!

Last week Grandpa Mike was in town from Texas. He came back to "winterize" the Siren, WI cabin and of course to see us! It was so nice to spend time with him. We didn't want to see him leave but knew it would only be a couple months before we made our way down to Texas for Christmas!

This weekend we went to Gena's 27th Birthday dinner at The Mediterranean Cruise Cafe and the food was excellent. I cannot believe she turned 27 and it makes me not look forward to my birthday in February! Life just flies by too fast!

We then made our way over to our friends, Rachel and Forrest's new home in St. Paul. They were having a "House Warming" party. It was so nice to see Rachel. On the way over I was figuring out how many years we have known each other and it's been 17!! It's so awesome to have old friends!

Jack's New Kicks!

Since Jack has been running all over town, I thought it was time for his first pair of hard-sole tennis shoes! I've always loved the Converse, "Chuck Taylors", so I knew exactly what I wanted to get him when we went searching for his new shoes. He tried them on at the store and they we so adorable on, I had to buy them! He had alot of fun the other night trying the new shoes out..

Camp Waub O Jeeg!

Last weekend we decided to drive to Taylors Falls and go camping. We always go to this place called Camp Waub O Jeeg. I grew up going to this campground and just love it. This was Jack's first time camping so we werent completely sure how it was going to go. It was a little hard getting him to bed as it was an unfamiliar place (and a tent!). Warming up his bottle was also an adventure but we finally got him to sleep after about a half hour of crying in the tent. After, we enjoyed talking around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and taking in the nice crisp Fall air. In the morning, Jack was so excited to get out and explore. He kept picking up acorns and putting them in his mouth! Now that he is walking, (almost running) everything is so new and amazing to him. It's so awesome seeing life through a childs eyes. It really does make you appreciate things more!

Just Because..

On Friday afternoon, Ben came home with these roses for me! I just wanted to post a pic, as they are blooming so beautifully!

1st Week of Little Munchkin's

Well the first week went great and just like any new career it takes some getting used to. I am adjusting well and I am really enjoying it! Jack is also enjoying seeing me more too. Oh and by the way, he's officially walking everywhere now, he started out very slow and wobbly, but now it's full speed ahead. It's so nice because he can get anywhere he wants! I guess that can also be a bad thing too! : ) We also purchased a quad stroller and I am glad we did! It gets us out of the house for a walk and the kids love it. Well I hear a child waking up. Here are some pictures of our first week.
