July was a busy month for us. We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday. Dan, Valerie, Calvin and Josie were up from Texas. We spent a very warm week up at the cabin swimming and relaxing. We took the kids camping with our friends, and although it was raining we still had a fun time. The kids really enjoyed camping. And we headed to Teddy Bear park in Stillwater for a playdate with friends.
August slowed down a bit for us. We spent more time up at both cabins. Lauren enjoyed tubbing with Auntie Mo and kept telling Bumpa to go faster. Lauren, Bob and I also went to a Twins game. It was Lauren's first time at Target Field. Her favorite part was eating the peanuts.
In September Lauren started preschool. She is loving preschool so far, talks about many friends and really likes Ms. Julie. She also is in dance and will be in the recital this year. She LOVES dance. Owen loves following Lauren around and wants to do what Lauren is doing. He has started being super silly and trys to make us laugh. Owen is saying so many words and is starting to understand simple commands from us. We have also enjoyed playing outside in this nice weather. We were going to go camping at the end of September but the nights were just too cold. Instead we went to Afton State Park with Joe, Sarah, Grandma and Bumpa.
