Cool new PJ's. 

Fun and busy weekend...

We had a great weekend! Spent Friday afternoon/evening helping Jenny and Jim move into their new house. Alex hung out with Gaga and Papa. They all looked worn out when we got there to pick him up. Alex and I just hung out at home while Wil worked on Saturday. We spent the day Sunday at the Renaissance festival. It was nice weather and we enjoyed walking around looking at everything along the way. Alex enjoyed all the activity and people around. He watched people fencing, the beginning of the joust, and belly dancers (which finally put him to sleep!). We went out for dinner last night to celebrate Nikki's birthday at Pepito's. She snuck into town for the weekend, so it was good to see her.
Alex has a cold and actually has his first ear infection today. We ran up to the minute clinic and it's his left ear. He has to take amoxicillin for 10 days. He took his first dose tonight like a champ! I think he thinks it's a treat of some kind. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.

Our 2nd Anniversary!

Where has the time gone? To celebrate our 2nd anniversary we went out to dinner and a movie Friday night. Great Aunt Cathy came over to babysit. Wil and I took off Saturday morning for a drive up north. We ended up in Bemidji. We tried out the geocaching game and had a good time searching for treasures! Go to www.geocaching.com if you want to know more. I managed to slip and twisted my foot at the first site, but was able to hobble around enough to find 3 more caches. We spent a lot of time driving around and enjoying the scenery. We saw 6 deer and a Bald Eagle! It was a good time and so relaxing! Alex stayed with Gaga and Papa. Got a cute haircut and went to the carnival at a local church. He got to ride in a fire truck, played games and met a policeman. It sounds like he had a wonderful time!

Cool rock! 

Smooches by the bay! 

Fall is around the corner!

I had a nice long 5 day weekend at home for Labor day. It was great spending time with my family. We ran around quite a bit and also relaxed at home. We took a drive up to Duluth on Sunday and it was beautiful up there. Alex was great for the trip. We saw a ship come in to the harbor and it mesmerized him. When we pointed out the ship to him he said, "captain!". The bells and horns did not scare him at all. And of course he loved all the rocks and brought a few home. We walked around and had lunch and just enjoyed the day. And now fall is in the air and we're looking forward to that.
Alex is starting to say sentences. He has recently learned "I want to get out!" or "I want to get down". He is growing into such a smart little man!!

I love this Cheerio box! 

Farmer Alex!
