One Small Step for Oliver...One Giant Leap....

Matt's Aunt Mary and Aunt Elaine came over for dinner tonight and brought Oliver a fantastic astronaut suit. Oliver loved it! He was admiring himself in the mirror and running around the house very excited about his new look. The suit was a little big, so we put his coat underneath to fill it out, which only made it look even more like an actual astronaut suit. Based on how much he loved this, I see a lot of dress up in our future.

Little Viking

October 9th is Leif Erikson Day. Oliver had a great time, jumping in the bounce house, playing with aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins and eating lots of meatballs.

Aunt Sarah and her boyfriend Kyle came to visit last week. Unfortunately Oliver ended up getting sick for much of the time that they were here, but he was healthy for the first few days of their visit and we crammed a lot of fun into those first few days.

We all were able to go to Oliver's first Twins game - lots of fun! He only made it to the 7th inning before he started getting pretty wiggly and sleepy, and his favorite part may have been walking around the concourse, but still a great time.

Also, Sarah and Kyle (or RaRa and Ky according to Oliver) were able to take Oliver to Como Park. From the reports it sounds like a good time was had by all.

We were suppose to also take part in a big family trip to the State Fair, but missed out because of a high fever and tonsillitis - so Oliver's first State Fair will have to be next year... it's a bummer because Matt and I were really looking forward to taking him down the Giant Slide.

Windom Neighborhood Festival

Jen recently had knee surgery and is totally immobile, so last night Matt and I took Brock and Rayna to our neighborhood festival to give Josh and Jen a little break. The kids had a great time dancing to the band, jumping in the bounce house and Oliver even got his face painted.

Memories of Grandview Lodge

While we were up North we stopped by Grandview Lodge for dinner and to reminisce about the wonderful times we had there over the years with Grandma Helen. Just being at Grandview brought back so many memories of fantastic times. Grandma was so fun and witty and wonderful. We sure miss her and I wish Oliver had the chance to know her.
