September

We have had a busy couple of weeks. The kids have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Last Friday nana and papa Stone came up and took the kids to not one, but TWO parks – they had a blast! This past weekend we took them to the Webster fall festival. They rode a train, went on a hay ride, checked out the animals (although Danni and Bren would have rather not) and spent some time with their GG and Aunt Martha. Sunday we met up with their buddies Sienna and Cameron at the cider mill. The kids were non-stop playing for hours! We took another ride on a train through the orchard which they really enjoyed. In the afternoon we went to Hudson Mills to meet up with nana and papa Henry for some pizza.
The kids are really growing up quickly. Danika’s nurturing instinct is shining through; she carries her baby dolls everywhere. She covers them up, feeds them bottles and takes them for walks in her makeshift stroller. We recently discovered that Brendan is very observant … he identifies cars that are the same make/model as Uncle Keith’s, Mommy’s, Daddy’s, Papa’s and GG’s and says the persons name and “Car”. Sean is becoming quite the athlete, he loves playing catch with Daddy and taking swings at the ball with sticks in the backyard. It seems like they are learning something new everyday!

Labor Day Weekend


We had a beautiful, relaxing holiday weekend. We stuck around home for the most part. Saturday was the first UofM home game of the season. The kids played in their pool in the front yard and enjoyed the game day people watching!
In the evening the Bissett crew came over for some pizza. They brought ice cream cones; the kids each finished their entire cones! Sunday we went to Utica and spent some time with the Stone family. The kids had a lot of fun playing with relatives :) They were tuckered out and actually slept in until 7 for us the next morning!!! Monday was rainy, but we did manage to stay dry for a bit in the morning and went to Gallup Park. We finished up the weekend with a family trip to Meijer – not a good idea the day before everyone goes back to school ;)
