MN Trip - A bit late!!

Hello!  Wow - we have been so busy that it's been hard to find time to update the blog!  We went to Minnesota at the end of August/beginning of September and it took me awhile to get caught up with orders at The Orange Monogram and working on various projects around the house - all while chasing around a toddler! :)

We had such a great time in Minnesota - we played with friends, went on lots of walks, went to the cabin, visited GGma, went to Katie Markman's wedding, and got to see Uncle David!

Here are some photos from our fun trip!

On the way up to MN, I flew by myself with Connor... it was quite eventful - including him breaking the window shade (Sorry, Southwest)!

He loved looking out the window on the airplane!

GGMa reading "Brown Bear Brown Bear" :)

Connor said "GG" for GGMa!

Playing in the desk at the cabin in Ely!

Lots of fun exploring the cabin

Headed down to the lake with Grandma and Pop Pop

Fireside selfie!

Pop Pop made the fire and helped Connor make his first s'more

He was a bit nervous at first but Pop Pop was a great helper!

YUM!

Mouthful of s'more!

His favorite part of the pontoon boat: pressing the horn (duh!)

It was a little chilly on the boat but we still loved the rides! 

Playing with Grandma on the boat ride

He got to help drive each time!

Connor loved having lots of room to RUN!

Of course Pop Pop got his photo with the firetruck (a tradition)!

Connor's first baseball game - Go Twins!

Twins at the Twins game :)

Connor watching the game with Pop Pop!  He mostly enjoyed eating a hot dog and snacks at the game!

Little boy in a big glove!

We had GGMa over for a BBQ and Connor wanted to play football with her...

She threw it for him to fetch - SO cute

Ready for Katie/John's wedding!

At Katie's wedding with the MOH, Allie! 

Bubbles with Pop Pop

"siiiiiiide" is what he says when he wants to go in or out!

Playing with the flowers by the flagpoles

Headed home!

Playing in the airport

He LOVED the slide in the airport!

 He passed out the final 20 minutes of the flight home... the other part he was unhappy :/

Family selfie on the airplane... silence at LAST!!

As for Connor - since it's been so long since I've posted, here's what he has been up to (at 17 months):

He loves milk, toast, yogurt, black beans, cheese, hot dogs, anything bread related, and cereal.  It's hard to get him to eat veggies and some fruits... very picky these days!  He loves running around the backyard, playing with his friends at church, chasing Mattie, climbing on the couch, opening and slamming doors, talking (imagine that!!), playing in the bath tub.

Favorite words: BALL, doggie, bubbles, slide, mama, dada, hi, bye, and a few more that we haven't translated yet :)

I'll update soon - he turns 18 months October 17 - WOW!!
