The Napping House

That's the name of a book that we enjoy reading, and at this moment it sums up our household. All of my boys are snoozing! Miles is recharging his batteries in the comfort of his little bed while Westy and daddy catch some zzzz's on the rocking chair in the living room. It's peaceful and wonderful!

A lot has gone on since the last blog post. Has it really been over a month?! Wow. We had a nice visit from Lead Cousin Hannah and the NC gang. E&O and their parents moved to St. Peter. Grandpa Dave and Grandma Doreen took a couple of road trips around MN. And....we survived TWO county fairs. Woo hooooo! Here's evidence of the Steele County Free Fair (the largest free fair in MN, thankyouverymuch).
One of the perks of being part of a blogging family is that you've probably already read about much of our adventures in the last month. If you haven't, well, then you'd better check out mom and Charlie's blogs. The boys just aren't going to nap long enough for me to post that much!

This morning we went to the annual Fly-In Breakfast at the Owatonna airport. The local civil air patrol cadets serve up some mean french toast and sausage while playing host to pilots from all over the midwest. If you fly to the airport, you get your breakfast for free. We had to leave our plane at home because there just isn't enough room for all of us...but we still had a great time!

There were dozens of small planes parked in Miles' way of the landing area, so daddy gave him a boost.
Miles' buddy Nolan needed a lift from his daddy, too.
Here they are checking out a plane. Unfortunately Miles was not allowed to touch the plane because some grumpy old fart (who didn't look like he should hold so much authority) scolded every little kid who gave so much as a gentle pat to a plane. Bummer.
We had a great time and look forward to going again next year. Weston should be able to run around with his big brother next time. This morning, he was content hanging out in his stroller.
Other than that, we've hit up a zoo --
Built a car ramp (that actually serves many purposes) --
Met Claire's new puppy (welcome to the neighborhood, Millie!) --
Popped four new teeth (they can't be seen in this photo, but he sure is proud!) --
Read some books --
Gone on several bike rides with the usual gang --
Eaten lunch with the other usual gang --
and guzzled lots of sweetened beverages. Groan.
Summer has been fun but we're excited for fall to arrive so we can go apple picking! I promise to blog before then, though...
