Fall is Here!

We are excited to see our first season change in Minnesota...and fall is definitely here! A couple of the trees in our backyard have already started changing colors. Ella has also started "school" at the Eden Prairie Early Childhood Family Education Center (ECFE). Its a weekly program that I attend with her. We do a lot of playing, artwork, singing songs and the mommies break away for part of the time for adult socialization. The pregnancy is progressing quickly...we are now 31 weeks along. Everything was perfectly healthy at our doctor appointment yesterday and we are planning on scheduling the c-section in early November. And of course, fall brings the start of the NFL football season which, as anyone who knows Jeff will agree, is a major holiday in our house. We are happy to say our Packers are 2-0 so far! Luckily, we have some fellow Packer fans in our neighborhood to watch games with and we went to our first Packer party this weekend.
On a more serious note, we are continuing to think of our dear friends in the Houston area, as the cleanup from Hurricane Ike begins. We are so thankful to report that everyone we have talked to is safe and only had very minor damage to their homes and yards. Thanks to those who have called or emailed us with concern for our friends down there...we appreciate you all keeping them in your prayers.

Hi Nicole,
Laurie and I are at working checking out your blog....too cute. We are super jealous of the weather and changing trees. Love the pictures of Ella...she is a doll. Glad to hear your pregnancy is going well.

We miss you so much, hope all is well.
