Photo Catch-Up

My last couple of posts have been from my ipod, where I don't have access to most of our photos--so here's a little catch-up of photos from things mentioned in our last few posts:

Simon, ready for his first day of preschool

Simon also got to start Sunday School this fall--all the 3 year olds get a "bible bag" to color...some make a few strokes and are done, but as you can see, Simon was the last little kid there--he colored every inch!

Thanks to some generous overnight babysitting by Grandma & Grandpa, and free lodging in Andy's Aunt & Uncle's cabin, Andy and Jess were able to get away for two nights to celebrate their 7th anniversary, at the end of August

We found a lovely Italian-Persian-Greek-and-American fare restaurant!

Andy helped Jess do a little fishing from the dock while at the cabin!

These photos are from our first letterboxing adventure--we started off with a picnic.

Simon and Andy found the letterbox, just slightly off the trail

And Jess supervised the stamping effort (if you don't know much about letterboxing, check out :

 Here's our first stamp in a logbook!

 This is the second one we've found--just a couple weekends later.

This particular letterbox we had seen before, as Jen, Nathan & family had found it on one of their visits. We took some time to flip through the logbook, and found their stamp, dated 7-20-2010!

This is one of many attempts we've had to replicate an adorable photo of Andy & Peter in their jammies on the back of a sofa--this one was actually spontaneous, or started out that way (then we made them stay there to try and get a photo with both looking at the camera).

Whenever Andy has time on a Monday, he and the boys try to visit Great-Grandpa Hubert & Great-Grandma Audrey in Red Wing.

Here we are in the CROP walk!

Both boys riding...

And Andy doing double duty with both boys "riding"!

That's all for now!
