Way to Go Vikings!

We think Oliver was the Vikings good luck charm because he wore his Vikings get-up for them. Nice work Minnesota!

More Fall Fun

Last weekend we thought it would be fun for Oliver to go to the Apple Orchard by our house. Again he was drawn to the pumpkins. Here are a few pictures of our fun time there.

Our Little Pumpkin

This weekend we went to Sauk Centre and Oliver got his very first pumpkin. For some reason he was in love with the pumpkin and was laughing and patting it over and over. Last year at Halloween I think my tummy was the size of the pumpkin. (At least I felt that big)














Here is Oliver with the pumpkin grower AKA his Grandma

Our little Twins Fans

Here is Oliver and his new 3 day old, cousin Nolan cheering on the Twins. Noland and Mom are doing well, but Rhea is ready to get rid of the Bells Palsy she developed when pregnant. (Doctors say it should go away in about two-three weeks after giving birth)

Oliver's new cousin, Nolan

On September 10th, almost two weeks early Nolan David decided he had enough of the belly and made is first appearance to the world. He weighted 7 lbs, 4 oz and is 21 inches long.
Here he is just three hours old.

Our little Scholar

As many of you know, I love to decorate and before our little man was around, my house was anything but baby-proof. Well after much deep breaths I have come to accept that my house is going to have to evolve into a kid friendly zone. So I have been slowly moving breakable and kid unfriendly objects down to our basement for the next decade. I thought I had done a pretty good job, but leave it to a crawling little boy to find things that you forgot. Well Oliver found some of Josh's keepsake books and decided to read a few pages. What a little scholar! While catching up on the books he also thought it would be fun to try to ripe out a few pages to keep for later. Luckily we were able to save the books and relocate them.

Oliver's rearranging

Oliver is getting to a really fun age where he is crawling and wanting to explore everything, but unfortunately that means exploring EVERYTHING! He also wants me to always play with him by his side. The other day, we had to make a compromise when I was trying to get dinner made and I let him crawl around the kitchen next to me. Well, after checking out the container cabinet I guess he felt the need to reorganize it.
