I have been on a vacation from the blog...not really, just haven't updated since mid-August!! Here is a recap of what we have been up to...

*Our summer ended with a few more visits to the local pool and the beach in Maple Grove, playing at various parks, a trip to Alexandria and Eau Claire, and a few more playdates with friends. I was sad to see the summer end, but it was a wonderful one and I feel so blessed to have had that time with my fun little guy!
*I am back at work and Evan is back at Betsy's. The school year is off to a good start and Evan is excited to be back with his buddy Lars. They love to run around the backyard, jump on the couch cushions, put rocks in their dump trucks, and keep each other entertained. They both keep Betsy busy too!
*Over Labor day weekend we went to Alexandria to celebrate Peyton & Sophia's 1st birthday. Evan had a great time playing with his cousins...he loves to run around with Hailey and Maddy and thinks the babies are "cute"!

*On September 25th Matt & Hannah were married and we had a great time celebrating with them! Aaron, Evan, and I were all in the wedding. I was nervous about how Evan would do walking down the isle, but he did such a good job! The flower girl held his hand and walked him down the isle. So cute!! My friend Theresa came to the church and brought him into the nursery during the ceremony. She also came to the dance so that she could take him to my parents house when he got tired. Thanks Theresa! My aunt, uncle, & cousins took him to get a nap in after the ceremony, so he was all rested up for the dance. He had a great time running around dancing and also did some "breakdancing" moves on the floor...good thing mommy didn't mind if he suit got dirty! It was a wonderful day and we are so happy for Matt & Hannah!

*This weekend Grandma & Grandpa Pasche came down to go to the Twins game with us. The weather was great, we had good seats, and Evan had fun watching everyone. I thought that I was going to spend most of the game chasing him around, but he was entertained by what was going on around us and we made it until the 6th inning! It was a lot of fun and we will definitely

take him to more games next year.

*Evan will be 2 on Oct.21st! He is constantly on the move and is a very busy boy! He LOVES to go to the park, go to the carwash with mom, play with his toys, play on the computer, help mommy and daddy do things (laundry, cook, dishes, etc.), and would be outside all of the time if we let him. He is putting words together to form sentences and mimics everything that we say and do. He also counted to 10 the other night all by himself. It's the first time he has actually done it and gotten from 1-10 in the correct order. He is growing up so fast and is such a sweet little boy. We're excited to see what the 2nd year has in store! (There have been some "terrible two" incidents already and I'm sure we'll see more!)

*We are excited for the fall. Apple orchards, pumpkins, big 2nd birthday, and playing in the leaves!
