First Night in the Crib

The Pack 'n Play in our bedroom has been put away. Nikki slept in her crib for the first time last night. All 3 of us had a very restful night's sleep.

And Growing... 6 Weeks

The first picture of many. Nikki is in a 24 month sleeper. Every month we'll take a picture and watch her grow into it...

Nikki meets Mya and Ava Werner

Nikki had her first play date with Mya and Ava Werner on Oct. 21st. Someday they will probably do more than just lay on the floor and look at each other.

Triple trouble...

First trip to the bar!

After watching our friends win their flag football game, we made the obligatory trip to Schullers Bar and Grill...

Fall in Plymouth

Some pics of Nikki "enjoying" a beautiful Fall day in Plymouth...

Takin' out the docks... Oct. 11th

Fall is officially here; the docks are coming out. We were smart this year and didn't wait until it was snowing to take them out. Below is Oma Ring pulling the dock out with the 4Runner. Opa and Uncle Craig are in the background.
Opa and Uncle Craig.

Amy, Nikki and I were busy supervising... very tough work... Aunt Amy is ready to met their little bundle. T-42 days...

After the docks were out, Opa was a little tired... so was Aunt Amy...

Another good summer at Shell Lake winds to an end.
