July Fun

Somehow, the summer is slowly coming to an end.  I have the next two weeks at home, and then it is back to work for me, and back to daycare for Jake.  Actually, he is so lucky because he gets to spend two weeks with Grandma Knutson until his new all-day Pre-K program starts the week after Labor Day.  We are going to enjoy the last few days we have at home being lazy in the mornings, hopefully heading to a beach or pool, having a few play dates, and just relaxing.

Since my last post, here is what we have been up to:

  • We went to St. Cloud the weekend after the 4th to spend time with Matt, Katie, Hailey, and Jordan.  Jamie, Tim, Mike, Nikki, Paige, Grandma, Papa, and Katie's mom were all there, too.  Joe had to work, so it was just Jake and me that went up.  Jake had an interesting experience tubing with Jamie.  Let's just say he won't be doing that anytime soon!  Matt did buy a new tube that will be perfect for him next summer!
  • Joe and I celebrated our 6th anniversary.
  • Jamie's bachelorette party Jat Big Fish in St. Cloud
  • Jake spent the weekend with Grandma and Papa Bien and went to the Como Zoo
  • Jake had his first case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth-thanks to his cousin Jordie, who caught it from his daycare
  • Went through another unsuccessful round of IUI treatments
  • Saw daycare friends at the Richfield Pool
  • Spent lots of time swimming on really hot days with family and friends
  • Golf lessons
  • Sports class
  • Watched the Olympics and cheered on USA!
I am sure there are more things we have been doing, but Jake keeps interrupting me to read books and I cannot concentrate!
