Fabulous Fall!

Here we are in the month of October. Keira is an old  pro in Kindergarten now. I took a day off from work today to get things done around the house. I was fortunate enough to squeeze in lunch with Keira at school. She was so excited to have me join her and her friends. It was really cute and I'm happy to report that school lunch wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I was very pleased to find that in addition to the cheese pizza, the kids had to choose from fresh baby carrots, fresh-cut apple and whole bananas. It's an improvement to the hot lunches I remember from my youth.

Below are a couple of photos from Keira's time at school. Her teacher is awesome. She often posts photos on a website for parents to view. She takes video of the kids learning in the classroom. It's great to see what the students are up to. 

Keira's 1st field trip was to a local apple orchard

Mark and I have been staying busy this fall. We were invited to THREE weddings over the course of a month. All three of them were Friday weddings too. Unfortunately we had to decline one wedding because it was in Brainerd and we couldn't find anyone to watch Keira for the weekend. We did get to the other two and they were fantastic. The following photo was taken at the most recent wedding and was held at the Millenium Hotel. The ceremony was held in the "dome" where this photo was taken. Imagine an entire ceiling shaped like a dome and made of all glass. That was this room. It was beautiful. You could see the entire city spread out before us. It was beautiful.

Other than weddings, we've been busy with work, juggling Keira's activities, keeping up with life, etc. We're having fun, but we're also looking forward to finding a weekend to slow down and do nothing. That doesn't happen very often for us these days. But, we can't complain. Life is pretty darn good.
