Fall day

Yesterday, we spent a family day together. Just hanging out around the house. One of our favorite games is the loose moose and we also enjoy being outside.

Last night, Calvin picked up a finger food with his thumb and pointer finger! Up until then, he had been raking the food and picking it up in his palm. It's amazing to watch him grow.

Calvin's suit was the cutest. He was the star of the show and I couldn't have been more pleased!

Wedding Day! OCTOBER 10, 2008

We're married!

Wade and I got married on October 10, 2008! We had a really nice day with our closest friends, my mom and his dad. It was truly a wonderful day. The sun was out, Calvin was an angel, the temperature was around 70. The pictures say more than words probably can.

This photo was taken after our ceremony.

This photo was when I was getting ready, Janet was trying to get my snap to latch.

This photo was taken at our reception dinner, which we had at the Texas Roadhouse.

Surgery

Today I had surgery on my left foot, the bunion. It has been quite painful since about July and I haven't been able to wear shoes, not even tennis shoes or Dansko's without sharp pain. I am recovering well and hope this will allow me to resume normal activity again.

Trip to Minnesota (continued)

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to the blog. Lots has happened since my last writing. To finish the last entry, Calvin and I enjoyed Vicki's wedding very much. She had a beautiful dress and looked just lovely.


After the wedding, we drove to Savage and stayed with Dana Reetz and her family until Monday morning when we left. They had a bonfire on the front drive way on Friday and invited their neighbors over. What a great neighborhood they live in. A couple of Dana's coworkers also came over. Everyone was very nice and I had a good time.


On Sunday, we took pictures. Calvin is not fond of camera flash and every time he sees a camera or my cell phone he immediately stops what he's doing and just stares, his smiles are very elusive. I love the picture below, he is just learning to sit and it was the first time he was in grass and able to inspect the leaves. Of course he wanted every one of them in his mouth but fortunately Dana and I were able to stop those attempts successfully.



Calvin was cutting his first teeth over the weekend. Dana told me he was teething and sure enough by Monday morning, I could see his bottom middle-right tooth! By Wednesday of that week, the left one was coming in too. We gave him a bottle of diluted pear juice with ice and he just loved to chew on that bottle!


Our flight home went smoothly and I was glad to be home so we could get the little guy back on his schedule.
