My grandma had wanted to see some video of Quinn. So here is what she has neen up to. She likes to hang out in the chair, sometimes the legs are going wild.

Happy 60th Birthday Baby George
Brennan's favorite buddy had a special day, he turned 6o years old this month. One of the bookstores in town had a party for him today, so we went to help celebrate. (He calls him Baby George instead of Curious George.)
He waited patiently, sporting his George t-shirt and he brought his Baby George buddy (he's in the pile of animals that are for purchase that our child was playing with and yes, we did not buy any of them). He wanted to play with everything in the store, which was hard for him. He's used to the library where he can play with everything, and here everything is for purchase, but he held it together nicely. When the party started, the owner started reading books and singing songs. Brennan staying in the background with us, not wanting to participate. But as soon as Baby George came around the corner.....
He was front and center waving and trying to get Baby George's attention. He was showing the big George his little animal George. It was pretty cute.
And it's not a party without cake....
Happy Birthday Baby George.

vacation
Labor Day weekend was our vacation for the summer, and it was a nice one. We stayed at my dads house, but he was gone for the first few days- still on his honeymoon- so it was like a house swap, nothing to do but relax and the country is so peaceful, I love sitting on the deck.
Saturday we went to the county fair, I don't ever recall a fair that was so chilly that I had to wear a winter hat, but at least we weren't roasting like usual.
Here was a car that he liked...
and one that he didn't....
playing in the yard, soccer and flying kites and walking the nature paths.
Monday and Tuesday we headed to Milwaukee to stay at our friends, the Dunns' The dads went to the Brewer game Monday and Tuesday was the zoo. We had behind the scene tour tickets. So we got to see the sleeping quarters and where the trains sleep and had a tour guide for the inside scoop. Here are Brennan and Hayden, he is a year older, but they are buds.
the sleeping quarters, under the exhibits

Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? I see some people looking at me...this guy was my favorite. As soon as we walked up to the exhibit, he walked toward us.
here we are watching the bear, watch us
the kids had fun feeding the goats, but the goats knew who hadthe food, and kept bothering the dads.

getting big
the kids are getting big!
Growning up my brother was big into model rockets, he felt like reliving the glory days, and we shot a few off. The first one scared Brennan, so he's preparing for the second one. He has been picking me flowers lately, here is one of them.
Quinn is getting so big- 11wks tomorrow, and that means only one more week of my maternity leave and then back to the work world....
She likes to smile and coo. She's getting better with her nook, and sleeps well at night, I'm OK with her not sleeping through the night, she goes down at 7ish and wakes at 3ish. So depending on your perspective, that is a good portion of the night, but I'll need to feed her before I go to work, so waking at 3 will be a good time.
Wow, she looks so LONG here. She's relaxing with Suzie- my brothers girlfriend, this was her first time meeting Quinn.
goofing around at Grandma Pat's house.

Blue Harbor
Dad and Deb stayed at Blue Harbor Resort after the party on Saturday night. We all needed something to do on Saturday morning before the wedding, and dad managed to get some free waterpark passes. It was very intimidating for Brennan at first- everything is very BIG, but he warmed up shortly.
There were 2 kiddie slides, the water was warmer and shallower, Brennan really liked this area. And it is only for little guys, as Adam soon found out, after putting Brennan on the slide, he slide down right behind him, and got in trouble by the lifeguard....
checking out the boat....a siren goes off, and next thing you know there are 1000 gallons of water being dumped out of this boat from a height. Brennan didn't get any closer than this.
That's my brother Joe, middle body, testing it out.

wedding
My dad got married over the weekend, to Deb deLeon. I am happy for them, I wish them a long and happy life together.
He looks like a deer in headlights, but this looks much better than the night before at the rehersal. As you can see from the photo below, he wanted nothing to do with walking down the isle with the other grandkids, and headed the other direction. But at the wedding he did good, and held it together for the most part during the ceremony. Dad and Deb were cool with him walking behind the pastor while he gave the sermon and even cool when he dropped his rather large truck on the ground during the vows (at least that was a reality check- that kept me from crying during the vows- the truck being dropped) but Brennan was outshined by the guy that forgot to turn off his cell phone...
heading the other direction during the rehersal, the other 2 grandkids are Carter and Audrey, they are Deb's middle daughters kids- Melissa.
The happy couple, they are at Disneyworld right now for their honeymoon. I'm sure they are having a blast.
party time. Chix nuggets and chocolate milk. yum yum. our food was good too, chix, beef, pototoes, veggies and really good cake.
