Camping, Trick-or-Treating, Ladies Weekend

This fall has been busy and lots of fun.  Take a look at our album on facebook using the link below.  Big milestones for Claire this past month are that we are potty trained!!!  Claire's vocab continues to grow and she loves to sing and even dance every now and then.  In the past week she has started asking the question "Why Mama?" all the time.  Also she is big into monkey see monkey do with other kids very cute.

Summer Pictures!

We have been making the most of summer and now are starting a new school year.  Claire is having a tough transition to daycare with some days being better than others but I'm sure we will get through it like we did last year.  Here is another link to a facebook album with loads of pictures.  Claire has really enjoyed playing with friends this summer.

Claire's Turns 2...Point Party

So on her actual birthday Claire's friend Natalie came over to help celebrate.  We also did a little photo shoot of the birthday girl.

Claire Turns 2...the Hudson Party Weekend

So Claire got to celebrate her birthday twice.  Once in Hudson with a bunch of extended family the Saturday before her real birthday and another dinner celebration with her friend Natalie on her actual birthday (I'll have another post of those pictures).

Summer

So summer is here and we are gearing up for the transition out of daycare and into Nana and Daddy care the rest of the summer until school starts again in the fall.  Bryan will have 3 weeks of grad classes at the UW of Riverfalls so Linda will watch Claire then.  We have two friends getting married this summer luckily they are both in the Twin Cities area so no major travel is needed.  We will be going on our first long camping trip this August with Nathan, Lori and Liam.  It will be nice to get the cousins together again since they are only 5 months apart they are interested in a lot of the same things.

Here are some pictures from the past month.  Claire got a weekend with Grandpa "Mike" now she can't stop talking about him...very cute.  We also went to the local airport for an air show and we got to sit a black hawk helicopter and old fashion fire truck.  She loved it.
