It was a great summer, but it is good to be back to work too. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I love and a great daycare for Evan! He was excited to get back to Betsy's house and to explore all of the toys, cupboards, and other things that he couldn't get into the last time he was there! He was just starting to crawl at the end of the school year, but hadn't been able to really get around. Now it is a completely different story! He and Lars (Betsy's little guy) are going to keep her busy this year!

We enjoyed the last few weeks of summer. We went to the State Fair a couple of weeks ago with both sets of grandparents and cousins, Hailey and Maddy. We had a great time and Evan seemed to enjoy watching all of the people. Aaron got sick from eating corn dogs, fries, and cheese curds all in an hour, but other than that it was good. Aaron's parents and the girls stayed over, and Evan loved having all of that attention!

The week before Labor day we didn't have daycare, so Evan got to spend time at home with different people. My cousin Laura came up for 2 days, my mom for 1, Aaron stayed home 1 day, and then I was home on Friday. Whew...it was a busy week!

We went to Eau Claire over Labor Day and did the Buckshot run for Special Olympics on Sat. Aaron, Matt, and Hannah ran the 5 mile...my mom, Evan, and I walked the 2 mile. The weather was perfect and it was a nice course through Carson Park. After that we had lunch and then headed to my parent's house to paint the outside of their house. We ended up painting the whole house over the weekend and took turns entertaining Evan! He played outside in the pack-n-play, in the swing, and swam around in the little pool. He is very good natured and pretty much goes with the flow...we are very lucky!

We had a nice weekend at home and Evan had a bath outside in the pool tonight. It was very cute to watch him crawl in and out of the pool! He loves to crawl out and collect leaves, sticks, and anything else he can find. What a BOY!

Next weekend we are heading to Alexandria to visit our new TWIN nieces! We can't wait to meet them!
