We've been battling cold (from MOPS) and having some much appreciated company keeping us busy the past couple weeks. So this past week has been all about saying 'Hi' and waving for Neil. As of Friday, he wasn't really showing any interest in practicing walking. This is what he's picked up just over the weekend.

Return to MOPS
Today Heather & the boys got to start the fall semester of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). The theme for this year is Adventures in Mothering. It's a welcome distraction to the regular routine and a great way for Mom to recharge her batteries. Ben and Neil will be able to meet new friends independently since they are in separate age groups this year.

Wisconsin camping
Heather & Ben enjoying the campfire.
The boys playing in the swimmin' hole.Following our trip to Minnesota we stayed in Merrymac, WI. Pretty fun campground we had all to ourselves since it was after Labor Day. The boys got to see their first toad sorry no photo. And Ben got up close and personal with his first cricket. Mom is always worried he'll try to put them in his mouth.
Ben and the cricket
MN nice - really
Heather & the boys with our wonderful hosts the Kuebelbecks.
Ben showing of his bounce house skills for our dear friend Laura.
Mike & Abby trying to get Ben to show a sense of urgency when running the bases.So we headed back to our old neighborhood Golden Valley for Labor Day. The Kuebelbecks were kind enough to allow us to park our RV in their driveway (were waiting to hear how the electric bill fares). They were hosting the third annual wiffleball tournament. It was great to spend time with our former neighbors and our friend Laura. The neighborhood is looking really spiffy thanks to all the new roofs and siding following the hail storm they had this year. Ben got to see his first dear in the nature center down the block. We spotted five in all. The boys had a lot of fun and so did mom & dad. Were already checking our calendar to see what next year looks like.
