Wow, have things around here been a whirlwind.

~ Connor and Liam have improved tremendously in their skating class. They skate about 3 times a week and can both can skate all alone now!

~ Novak is like a little parrot...repeating everything we say. Just last night I was reading him a book and he pointed to something on every page and said the word-amazing!

~ I assisted with my fourth, and final(for training)!, birth this past week which means I am well on my way to becoming fully certified as a birth doula-Yay!!

~ Uncle Kurt came North last weekend for the annual MN/IA football game. The game was phenomenal...and the Gophers won! He spent 4 days here playing with the boys and watching lots of football. Thanks Kurt(and mostly Cristen!!).

~ Last night with helped celebrate a dear friend's 30th bday. We cruised around in a party bus, bar hopping and dancing the night away. Dan and I also got a dinner date beforehand...so lovely!!

~ Christmas shopping, decorating, holiday festivities....it's all been so fun this year with the boys being so interested in all of it. How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a nighlty read and the famous singing Santa is on all day. I love this time of year-CHEERS!!
