Fall

Mike and Bennett playing
Petey feels neglected and this is the look I ALWAYS get from him.
Okay, so this was almost a month ago, I might be winning now:)
Uncle Greg was a big hit for Bennett. He would only sleep on his lap or if he tucked him in while they were visiting.
Emily and Danica - cutie patuties!

We have had a really great September. The weather has been up and down, but mostly we have been able to get outside and enjoy the season. Too bad we haven't any trees in our neighborhood or I would rake some up for Bennett to jump in!
All of our fall stuff has started up again, and I am so glad. I have joined a woman's bible study on Monday mornings, then on Wednesdays we have a playgroup that has actually been meeting quite faithfully all summer long. Then MOPS (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers) has also had it's first meeting. I am trying to fit all these good things in around my very part time job at the chiropractor clinic, which I quite like.
Megan and Mike came to visit us over the Labor Day weekend. Bennett was totally taken with the both of them. He refused to go to bed unless he had a hug and kiss from both Megan and Mike. Not awkward for Mike at all:) We spent some time walking along our new bike path and just bumming around. We did (thanks to Mary!) get to Sioux Falls with just the adults for shopping and supper. Chili's was a good pick Bud! I miss them so much more after they leave...they should really come more often!
Greg, Julie, Emily and Danica came down last week for a few days visit. It was nice to have someone to play with for Bennett. The highlight for them (and us, I guess) was playing all of Bennett's instruments...for some reason I think the drum is still on top of the fridge:). We went to Pumpkinland briefly and spent the majority of the time hanging out...Bennett was a little under the weather for a couple days, so that was too bad. Dale cleaned up the truck and surprised Emily by taking her for a ride in the semi. She was a little overwhelmed and Greg had to go and ride along, but it was super cute. I am sure that Dale secured his spot in Emily's nighttime prayers for a while yet:)

Uncle Dale sure did keep top spot in her bedtime prayers - now instead of getting a ride in the truck, it's Uncle Dale drives a semi and he took me along!
That pic of Emily and Bennett is too cute!
I have one somewhere of my brother and Evelyn doing the exact same thing then they were that age too!!
