We got back into the swing of things last week. Yesterday (Sat.) we all did our own thing--Grant went to Grammy's, Ben went to Treasure Island with Adam, and I visited my friend Kristen in Eau Claire.
Here's Grant and Ben making a giant cupcake with a pan we got for xmas from Mavis. Cool!
The proud baker showing off the finished product.
Grant got this cool gift from Uncle Tyler.
I'm going to TRY to make a post every weekend....so check back next week!
Sorry for the long hiatus! Here's some shots from our Christmas vacation, which thankfully, is not over yet! Here's Grandma E and Grant showing off their art projects.
Uncle Tyler always knows how to find good gifts!
Grant had a ton of fun with Owen (Strei) in Rochester!
A taste of what's to come... (this is Owen's little brother, Ben)
Big brother in-training!
Grant got to spend lots of time with his Granny.
More practice! This is my friend Kristy's little boy, Nolan.
Another opportunity to hold a baby! Grant also got to play with his friend Gabe.
Gretta, Grant and I walked to one of the parks the other day. It was so nice and warm out!
This was early last Sat. morning when Ben and Grant were headed to the U of M homecoming.
We now (after 3 months of residing!) have a gray house.
Our landlord says he's going to come in a couple weekends and get the "yard ready for Winter." Sounds good to us!
This is from Oktoberfest.
Unfortunately this is the only picture we got of Grant in his lederhosen. As you can see, he is wearing tights with them... Grandma Erickson thought they'd be warmer than knee socks. He didn't seem to mind! ...plus he's wearing a girl hat.
Grant keeps busy at his own little table.
The three of us got sticky buns at Auntie M's and then walked around Ruttgers.
Grant showing me a leaf.
The leaves were at their peak last weekend!
Grant had fun at the playground.
We started out the day with a little "monkey jumping on the bed"
Ben is relieved that finally all the pictures have been hung... Grant is eager to help with his own tool set and building knowledge from "Bob the Builder."
We made an impromptu trip to an apple orchard in Wayzata this afternoon! It was beautiful, but we were shocked when we discovered that apples were $25/bag! Admittedly, they are much better apples than ones we've had in the past. Now we just need to make sure we eat them all...
Grant was more interested in eating the apples than picking them.
We were there until early evening--with the sunlight, it was really pretty time to be out there.
A tractor to drive--a dream come true!
Grant received this great space suit in the mail from Grammy Mavis today. We had to open it and put it right on when we got home from school!
This was taken several weeks ago. We had the fire department come out because our carbon monoxide detector was going off. Yep...it was just a low battery.
This was also back in mid-August on Grant's last day at "Auntie Jenna's Daycare."
Now ALL the Bowmans are going to school! Grant and I made it through our first day just fine.
Ben dropped Grant off bright and early--7 a.m. I picked him up at 12:45 and he was having a great time.
This is on our way home from the lake last Sunday.
This is at a friend's house last week.
We've been spending lots of quality time with Granny.
....and Uncle Tyler.
We've been enjoying our new house.
Gretta has been especially enjoying Grant's bed.
