Minnesota

We survived a flight with two babies! We left really early Wednesday morning and got to MN around 10:15. We went right to Mimi’s house and let the gamesssss beginnn! Jack really needs to work on sharing but it may take some time! We went to the mall park to get some energy out then t he Ricketts crew came over for dinner then it was off to bed we went! Jack slept on a blow up mattress for a couple hours then came in bed with mike and I. Charlie has a great first night! Meg and Justen are so sweet to let us stay with them.  We come with lots of messes, crying, eating and poop...   Bailey is sleeping in their room in a pack and play and Charlie is sleeping in baileys crib.... We are so appreciative of their hospitality. Yesterday I took Charlie to the library while mike drove jack around to sleep. Then we went to justens restaurant and had a delicious lunch. Dinner was at the Ricketts House and Gigi came to town! Anna was sooooo adorable and helpful with Charlie. No, she’s ...

Baptized babies

On Saturday we baptized Jack, Charlie and Mia! Kelsey and Marcello had their marriage blessed by the priest then we partied. The boys did a great job! During the baptismal ceremony jack said “baptism” quite loud and Charlie stole the show by smiling ear to ear and trying to grab the gold shell thing the priest used to pour the water on their heads. Either way it was a win win. Since John was in town we decided on Monday to go to Arlington cemetery to see my grandparents/uncle. I took the boys and we ventured there with John, Mia, kels and Marcello. Today we went back to cox farms since they have “last call” tickets for 5 bucks. Jack lovessssss the animals. There were some baby pigs  There born on 10/4. So cute.  Sleeping Charlie 

Fall fun

Image
On Wednesday we went to cox farm with Sarah, tommy and Zoe. They have an amazing fall festival and it was one of their discounted days. We decided to divide and conquer... the babies went in the double stroller and the older boys walked. We took turns pushing and herding the boys. It really was a lot of fun. Everyone did great! They even have apple cider, apples and pumpkins for everyone to take.  On Thursday we saw Gigi and baba! They packed a picnic and we went to mason district park. The playground was unfortunately in the sun so it got a little hot so we didn’t get to play much so we spent most of the time eating... bummer 🤷🏼‍♀️  Friday I had my mom group meeting and  The boys went to  Their “classrooms.” Whenever I get jack he says “mom come back” and “good time” (this goes for the gym as well). Yes, jack, I always come back! Everyone that encounters/watches Charlie comments on how much/how fast he gets around. The boy just loves to explore!
