Long overdue Fall Catchup

I will start with apologies. 1. It has been way too long since I updated the blog, 2. This post will be way too long, but I need to catch myself back up and all in one seems to be the most efficient way. So, now that it appears winter has arrived in Minnesota, it is time to recap my favorite season - FALL!

Visit to Knightstown:

Notre Dame Girls

Perhaps I should have written this post before the Irish football season went downhill, but their record  doesn't really matter. Our little girls are quickly learning that they have Notre Dame in their blood. These ND wearing, fight song singing, "Go Irish" yelling little girls (well, the one that can string together two words) are already die hard fans!

Supporting the Irish from Edina, MN:

Trip to South Bend for the ND vs. UNC game:

 Killing time in the airport play area

 Finley trying to deter anyone from joining us in our row (on Southwest)

 Success! A row to ourselves and a seasoned traveler plugged into her movie.

Hitting the campus highlights with Bams and Dziadziu (and daddy once he arrived, a few days later):








 Headed to campus on game day









Harper made a deal with Dziadziu to receive a dollar for every ND touchdown. She was pleased with the high scoring game!

Start of Another School Year

This is very late, but I couldn't let the start of the school year pass without recording it. 

We were surprised to see the front of the Edina Family Center catalogue at the start of the year. Our little Finley was the cover model!

Harper is in her second year at the BerryPatch Preschool. This year she is a Blueberry (3 year old class). It is her first year separated from her two best buddies. She was a little apprehensive (as was her mommy), but she is doing great!
