Other fun summer times!

It has been such a fabulous summer/fall thus far.  We have made some great memories, and here are just a few of them....

Ben got a new table!!!  He loves to color on it, and plays with puzzles and has snacks.  He sits on the blue chair, and then pats the red chair, looking expectantly at Patrick or me, until we sit with him.  So adorable.

Cool kid with his sunglasses.  He loves wearing his (or usually mommy's) sunglasses!

Ben has spent some really fun afternoons with Grandpa Scott.  As you can see, he LOVES playing baseball with him.  They throw the ball, use their gloves, and share lots of laughs and hugs.

Daddy and Grandpa Scott went to the Gopher football game together.... and I wear my Gopher stuff every Saturday to help cheer them on!

Ben spent the morning playing with his friend, Elijah.  It was so cute to have the boys play together.  They loved the dogs, they shared toys (usually!), and they had some play time at the park.  Brandon and Erika, it was fun to see you all!!

The Clash of the Titans....

well, Ben and Greta vs. Dad.  Yes, Greta is a Packers fan.  So is Ben.  He gets excited to wear his Rodgers jersey!  Go Pack Go!

Summer in August - UP NORTH WITH THE MARSOS!

We spent a fabulous week up north at Lake Miltona with all the Marso family in early August this summer.  Ben and his cousins, Griffin and Elli, played and played and played!  He and Griffin were especially tight, and were so precious together.  The boys love to watch what each other are doing, and mimic each other.  They read a lot of books, threw a lot of balls, and played in the sand daily.   Patrick and I fished daily, and I even caught a few walleyes to bring home!  It was great spending our days with Grandma and Grandpa, and Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Steve.  We all had a blast together.  Even Auntie Michelle spent a fun day with us.
We were so thankful to have had such a fun time with our family.  We can't wait to spend more time on Lake Miltona!!

Thanks, Marso family, for such a great week!!!
