Collin and Hayley in September

Now, some pictures of Collin and Hayley together. First, the two are sitting at the kitchen table. Then they're taking a bath (and coloring the bathtub, too). Next, they're sitting together outside at a friend's house, then they're playing at a local church fair. Finally, they're romping with Mike on the couch!

Hayley in September

Now, some pictures of two year-old Hayley. First, she's smiling in the living room, then she's posing with her sunglasses. Next is Hayley resting on our lawn mower, then two pictures of her in the kitchen. Finally, a pensive pose at a local park by the lake.

Collin in September

Here are some fun pictures of Collin back in September. First, he's showing off all his Thomas and Friends trains, which he really likes. next, he's playing basketball, kind of, then resting at a friend's outdoor party. Next, we went to the big Burnsville Fire Muster event and Collin got to go inside a real fire engine. Finally, there's Collin playing inside his dresser, for some reason -- he actually fits!

Mike & Sherry & Mark & Steph

This past weekend we got away for a nice relaxing getaway with Mike's brother Mark and his wife Stephanie. We went to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and the surrounding Tri Cities area on the Mississippi River. It was good to spend time with Mark & Steph, and to celebrate Steph's birthday (a week early).

Snow Day

Monday was the first big snow of the season, the season actually being autumn. (That's life in Minnesota for you.) Anyway, Amy and Mike took Collin and Hayley out to play in the snow and everybody had a fun time. Hayley just liked walking around and falling down in the snow. Collin learned how to make snow angels -- and throw snowballs!
