This past fall, Gabriella finally braved the waters enough to put her head all the way under in swimming lessons. Now that swimming lessons are over for the session, we don’t want her to lose her momentum. So Kirk and I took the kiddos swimming yesterday at a local hotel pool. The water was a little cold, but we had a great time!
We had a great time building adorable snowman frames this weekend. The kids are really getting good with the hammers – Ben only got Kirk’s thumb once!

Can you believe I did not take a single picture on Halloween night? Kirk took the kiddos out trick-or-treating with our great friends, the Blackman’s. Benjamin would not wear his policeman costume, but he happily went out with a scary mask. He loved wearing it around the house, too, and shouting “Boo!” We’d pretend to get scared, and he’d quickly lift the mask and say “It’s just me!”
We enjoyed a beautiful sunny afternoon with Grandma, Aunt Christina and the cousins. Lots of time splashing in the pool, running through the sprinkler, watching the Twins game… the kiddos threw me in the pool, Kirk threw himself in the pool, and then he threw his sister in the pool. Good times!
We took the kids to a game at the new Target Field last week and it was great! It is a beautiful stadium, and we look forward to enjoying many more games there. We went with 2 of Gabriella’s best friends and they had a blast holding up their sign and cheering on the Twins. Benjamin’s favorite part was seeing T.C. Bear. At one point, we had an ESPN camera guy filming all our kids having fun. Wonder if they made it on tv?!
