Mid November

Daddy had us take a family picture to test out his Photo Booth for the photography business. The boys had fun with it. 

We have continued to enjoy the warm fall weather with have been having. We have gone for many walks, bike rides, and have played at the park. 

The other day Eli surprised me by writing his name all by himself! He is getting to be a big boy.

Here is a picture of the pretty roses that Brian gave me for my birthday

Bonfire at Papa and Nana's

Yesterday we had a fun time going over to Papa and Nana's house for dinner and a bonfire. The boys had fun going for a canoe ride with Papa. We had a good time roasting s'mores over the bonfire. It was a lovely night!

Breakfast Date

I had the cutest breakfast date today! Eli was really excited to get some special time with Mommy as we went out to breakfast at the IHOP. I love him! 

Double Date at Jim Gaffigan Comedy Night

On Wednesday night we went out on a double date with our friends Erik and Angela Wellman. We went out to dinner and went to see comedian Jim Gaffigan at the State Theater in Minneapolis. We had a great time laughing! He is a funny man!

Beautiful Birthday!

This was the warmest weather I have ever had on my birthday! It was sunny and up to 72 degrees! In the morning we went for a family hike at the Springbrook Nature Center. Then my parents babysat the boys so that Brian and I could go out to dinner at the Melting Pot in Minneapolis. We had a lovely time complete with a walk on the Stone Arch bridge. What a perfect day!

High Tea at the Mad Hatter

On Sunday afternoon, Mom, Karen, and Kristi took me out for High Tea to celebrate my birthday at the Mad Hatter. We had such a delightful time trying all of the different teas, scones, and delicious sandwiches. It felt wonderful to be able to kick back and relax together!

Army Man and Tigger

 Eli and Asa had such a fun time going trick or treating in our neighborhood. Eli dressed up as an army man and Asa dressed up as tigger. It was a warm evening, so we went all around the neighborhood!
