The "Ring Bear"






We had a wedding up in Kerkhoven, Mn and Beau was the ring bearer AKA "ring bear" . He did a really good job, and was much more cooperative than I expected!

























He did really well all day, even without a nap. He smiled and cooperated with most of the pictures (sometimes a cheesy smile, but beggars can't be choosers I guess). He looked so handsome in his little tux.



Here he is getting ready





He told me they were his prince clothes. By the time we got to the reception he was pretty beat, but he did dance his little heart out to a few songs.









He found another little girl his age there and got her to dance with him a little bit. At one point he came over to talk to me and then said "I gotta go mom, I gotta go find my princess". Every night we read Beau a bedtime story and I sing through Twinkle, You Are My Sunshine, and Baby Mine...when we got back to the hotel he made it through a short story. By the time I was halfway through You Are My Sunshine I was hearing little snores. Now that's tired. Here they both are in their jammies ready to crash.





Cora was a good little traveler too. She was pretty sick of her car seat by the time we got home, but she slept most of the way. She did get to go swimming for the first time. The pool was heated and the water was really warm. She wasn't quite sure, and clung on pretty tight but was all smiles the whole time.





I'm attempting to post a video of Beau walking down the aisle. Sorry for the sideways view...you'll have to turn your monitors :)

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday.  At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up.  She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead.  The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down.  The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families.  It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day.  As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week.  I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone.  This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row).   Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are.  Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year.  We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.  The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it.  I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by".  Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids.   As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks.  In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
