All About G!

By

With marching band in full swing, Ava flits in and out, and large chunks of time go by where she is not at home. So, lucky G...he gets all of the attention! To be fair, I had a very busy week, as well, so Scott and G spent a lot of time together at night.

He got his blue belt in taekwondo!


We also got something blue...a "new" car for Ava! Her name is Bernice. :)


G had a really fun week, full of field trips, hosted by the city of Rosemount. He went to a new ninja gym, Skateville, Nick Universe at the MoA, and finally Grand Slam. He had a blast, and met a few new friends. Next week, it's back to Summer Power.

On Thursday night, G and I went to the RHSMB family picnic, and then I went back at the end of the night to watch rehearsal. Ava didn't move the entire time I was there...all of the choreo was for other people.

I took the day off on Friday (glad I missed the whole Microsoft issue - yikes!) and G and I spent the day together. We went out to breakfast, checked out the new LEGO store near us, and then headed to the MoA to do a variety of things. He was able to pick up a book from the Barnes & Noble summer reading challenge, we did the "Fly Africa" adventure, went shopping, and took a break to enjoy a soft pretzel. He got his first two Funko Pops, which might have been the highlight. It was a great day - I love spending time with him!

In line for "Fly Africa"


Yum, pretzel!


Great view of Nickelodeon Universe from the 4th floor of the MoA!

Saturday kicked off Rosemount's Leprechaun Days...Grandma Deb, G, and I went to the waffle breakfast at the Rosemount Fire Department, and then we headed over to get our cars washed by the RHSMB. Ava did a great job drying our cars!

Since it was such a busy Friday, and an early Saturday morning, we're looking forward to a low-key rest of the weekend. Gotta get Ava ready to head out to band camp on Monday morning!

Exploring Local Places

By
Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

By
The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit.  This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage.  Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough.  I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together.  They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so!  We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge.  I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm.  And of course, Ava wa...

Half of a Century

By
I celebrated my 50th birthday this past week! When I was younger, 50 sounded reaallllly old. But now that I'm there, I recognize that it's really not. As I mentioned last week, the iron supplements I'm taking for my anemia have kick-started me feeling a million years younger, as well.  We had a wonderful birthday dinner at my parents' house last weekend (complete with my favorite kind of birthday treat - yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Basic, yes, but I love it so much!) I had a really busy week planned at work, so taking my birthday off (Tuesday) was a relief and gave me a chance to slow down and reflect on my life. The weather was sunny and warm (I've had my share of rainy birthdays, so anytime the sun is out on my birthday, I'm grateful.) Scott picked up flowers and a Starbucks gift card for me, so I had breakfast courtesy of Starbucks and read while sitting on our front porch. Pria loved having me home on a Tuesday and wanted to sample some of the goods...
