Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

While up north last weekend to say goodbye to the cottage for the year, we came across the a-MAZE-ing Pumpkin Patch. As the name suggests, it was rather silly but the boys had a grand time chasing in the corn maze and playing in the pumpkin patch.

Dad & Kids Annual Camp Out 2011

The Greatest Camping Dad's are now on year 3 for their annual camping trip. They headed back to Baker Park and had the perfect weather for a September trip. Sevi got to hang out with momma this last time. Off he will go next year to join papa and big brother.

Books On Record

It doesn't get much better then to hang out with your good buddy Max and his super cool Fisher Price Record player. Max also has a grand collection of vintage books on record. Thanks to Max and his family, Soren is learning all about records. So if anyone has an old kids record player they want to re-gift, I know one little boy who would be thrilled beyond belief.

Thanks Alejandra for the great afternoons and pics. Soren is also sporting his other new favorite "vintage" find, the built in radio head set. The kind lady down the street gave it to Soren and in the last 2 days he has yet to take it off except to sleep and go to school. I can say, it does make for a quieter house, until he yells out the news updates.....

Eats!

Eat was the first word that Sevi learned to sign, it was also the first word he said. I think I now hear that word about 10 times a day, as it is by far his favorite activity.

The Things They Say #4

Soren: Mama, I had your favorite ice cream with Papa today. I took a bite just for you but instead of it going to my belly it went right to my heart.

Good-bye Lazy Days at the Cottage, The End of Summer Has Arrived

The boys and I have been spending the past two weeks up at the cottage, eking out the end of summer before the reality of September and work, preschool, and life schedules hit us. Below is a visual playback of the last two weeks.

Day With Nana Pie And Grandpa Henry

The boys spent a day last week over at Nancy and Henry's. Soren got to hang out with his cousin Tyler and the Grand-folks got to spend lots of time loving up their youngest grandchild. Thanks for a great day!

Strawberry Fields

Strawberry picking in July at Wallin's Berry Farm in Pequot Lakes, where there was actually a lot more chasing and eating going on then picking.
