Summer Fun!

We've been keeping pretty busy around here this summer. We've hit a couple of the area county fairs (Ramsey and Dakota), gone to the park a number of times, and have just enjoyed hanging out. Alex has enjoyed swimming a few times and Fletcher has not. It's hard to believe that fall is just around the corner (and I'm very happy about it!).
Alex will be starting kindergarten soon and we found out who his teacher will be. Still have to get the school shopping done. I think he's starting to get a little excited about it, but he seems a little nervous to start something new. He is reading just about anything and is very good at sounding out new words. He had a fun weekend with his great aunt Cathy and his cousins.
Fletcher is growing and is very mobile. He crawls all over the place and rolls around. He is not one to sit around! We pulled out one of Alex's old toys today-a Leap Frog piano that you stand up at and it has all kinds of things to do. Fletcher stood up and kept standing there without holding on to anything! He's cruising all over the furniture and it won't be long before he's walking! I cannot believe how fast this past year went. He got to spend the weekend with gaga and papa and they all had a good time.
We're skipping the State Fair this year, but looking forward to heading out to the Ren Festival in the next few weeks. We hope to get one more camping weekend in this year and maybe a little more geocaching.
