Nate the Hunter

This weekend was opener for Wisconsin's deer hunting season. Nate had the lucky seat opening morning; he saw close to 25 deer by noon, and bagged this nice 6 point buck (which was 8, but 2 were broken off) and another doe by 10:00am. He, the guys, and Jen spent the day on Sunday walking through the woods trying to kick up more. We saw quite a few but we were only able to come up with one more. We'll be trying again next weekend.

Daniel The Fish

Today was week 2 of Daniel's swimming lessons. Week 1 was a little intimidating, however this week he was much more confident and having much more fun. Take a look at how well he can swim!!!

Big Time Catch-Up

A lot has happened since our last post. Nate threw me a surprise Golden Birthday Party. Everyone was dressed up in costumes-it was great! I had NO idea.

That weekend we went to see baby Will again. He's still such a cutie :)

On Halloween night, we had a neighborhood party in the park by our house. Everyone dressed up and went over there for a good time. We stopped at a couple of neighbors house on the way home.

Halloween weekend we relaxed on Saturday and went to the farm on Sunday to chop up some wood. It was a beautiful weekend to be outside and working.

Then, this past Saturday, we had Jen's brother Tim's bachelor party and his fiance Liz's bachelorette party. It was a great time. Both parties were a lot of fun and everyone had a good time. We don't have any pictures from the men's party, but here's a couple from the girls.

Monday night, Jen watched Chase and Maddy while Sara played volleyball. The boys got along great. Daniel is only a couple of months older, so it was nice to see interaction of the in the same age. Daniel LOVES his puppy. And, we got a kitty too! Her name is Maui. She's a little small for her age, but Daniel LOVES her too and tries to take her everywhere.

Here's what's coming up: Daniel starts open swim on Wed, then a baby shower for Nate's sister Jen on Sat, then WI deer hunting!
