Nate got a new job!

Nate got an offer to work for Carlson Companies starting Oct 13th. It will be very hard to not spend that extra 2 hours a day in the car with him, but we'll make do. He's very excited to start this new adventure. He gets to clean up a big, messy network-which is right up his alley. He also gets additional responsibilities of being a team lead. What a great opportunity for him!

Congrats baby, I'm VERY proud of you.

Bachelor/Bachelorette Weekends for Amy

This past weekend was full of fun. Jen left Fri night with Lynette and Katie for Madison for Amy's bachelorette party. Us three spent some quality time in the car together :) And, we had a full day with Amy and Jen Hoffe too. Amy's apartment is really nice. I only took 2 pictures all weekend, I'm sooo sorry. But, here they are: one of Amy at her shower and one of Jen with her almost 20wk belly!Nate left for LaCrosse on Sat morning for Anthony's bachelor party. They went out on the River for some fishing. Then sat around the fire. We're soo excited to see Amy and Anthony as happy as they are. Only 2 more weeks until the wedding!

I LOVE Daddy :)

Check out this shirt!

We got our camera back!

We've been missing our camera for a while now! But, we finally saw the Quists and got it back today. So, here's what's new:
Daniel has 1/2 of a molar. It doesn't seem fair-that tooth is HUGE! Poor guy. The other half is coming in soon. Nate and Daniel both had the flu this past week. So, all three of us were home Wed-Fri. Then, we found out Daniel has a minor ear infection in one ear, so we got some antibiotic for it. It seems like he's now developed an allergy to it, so we'll be back into the Dr. tomorrow to see what's up. He has a bumpy red rash all over him. It doesn't seem to itch though. But, Saturday I got to relax and go shopping to the Albertville outlet mall with Greta and Sara. Yippee :) There sure were some good deals! Back to last weekend, we had Amy and John's baby shower. For those of you who don't know-Amy is on bed rest, so John came over to open the gifts. It seems like everything is hanging in there for now. Amy's such a good patient. They'll be at 34 weeks soon, so it will take a lot of stress off-trying to get to 36 though. Then the weekend before that was Labor Day, so we went to Chetek for some relaxing. My college roomy Heather got married that Sat. It was a beautiful day weather-wise and the celebration was perfect too. I had a really good time. Everything was wonderful. I left our other camera there and that one is now at the Fedie's, so we'll get those pictures posted after we hook up with them. Then, on Labor Day we decided to leave Chetek early and go car shopping. The Grand Am has been in the shop every month for the past 6 months it seems, and the antifreeze started leaking, so it was time...Jen only shed a couple of tears. We got a shiny Chevy Malibu. We'll take pictures soon!

These are our new teethers. Daniel won't chew on anything else, so we found some empty bottles and he LOVES chewing on the top...

Here's Daniel showing me that he doesn't really care how cute his new vest is, he doesn't like it :)

And, here's some fun camera stuff

Mr. Daring at it again. We can go foward now!

Landscape Complete!

Well, after a long Sunday of working on the landscape, we're finally done! It looks soo beautiful. We have a spring snow crab tree (no messy berries!!) a mum, lillies, coneflowers, roses, barberry and a hibiscus planted and our new glider that Nate put together for me!Friday night, we went to the park next to us and played. We went and played with the neighbors too! Daniel played so hard he fell and hurt his lip. It looked pretty rough at first, but it looked ok today.
On Saturday, we had Amy and Anthony's wedding shower. It was great! It was soo nice to see everyone. Then we went back to The Quist's for a family dinner.

Landscaping

Sunday after Daniel went down for his nap, we decided to do some landscaping. Our grass is dead under the deck and while we were getting dirty, we decided to add on to the patio landscaping. Here are some pics:

Nate goes to Canada...again

Daniel and I sure did miss him this time! We went to Grandma and Grandpa Fedie's on Sat the 9th. We went to see Carter Heike too. He sure is growing up really fast. He's almost walking!

Jen went home to have some time by herself. I mowed the lawn, cleaned the house, and of course, went shopping. I picked Daniel up on Tues night. We met up with Great-grandma Fedie in Plum City where we fed the fish in the pond. That was soo much fun for Daniel!

Then-we started to cause some trouble for mommy...we found the open bag of potato chips. (I should have known) and found my wallet! He's a big spender!

We played with Nelly too.

Here is the new vase I got from Todd Hafele (Carrie Ruda's husband). He makes his own pottery and I fell in love with this vase online. It looks even better with flowers in it!
