Trip back to Mankato

Nathan had a home show in Mankato, so we spent the whole weekend there. Ethan spent Friday night with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Mike. On Sat we took Ethan to get pictures taken with real bunnies with his cousin Colton at Drummers nursery.
He then got to spend Sat night at the Hendrycks farm with my dad and Julie. There he got to pet the horses for the first time and got to ride on the tractor with papa. He really liked it.

We are getting prepared for the big party on Sat. We are having a party at Valentino's Pizza, mostly because there will be 30 people there!!! Way too many people for my house and way too messy to clean up!!

Can't believe he will be ONE on Friday! Ethan is walking about 4 steps or so at a time and then he decides thats enough and will get down and crawl. He has so much personality now, it is so fun to interact with him when he is being goofey. He really knows how to ham it up to get attention :)

We have also been busy with our kitchen. We tore down the wall inbetween the kitchen and dining room and put in an island with the help of my dad. The new countertops will hopefully be in this week. We also got new stainless stell appliances on Thur. I was lucky enough to get the MN rebate for $200 for the refrigerator.

Nathan is done with home shows until next spring. Which he is very happy about!! Those get to be very long weekends. The work for him is starting to pick up since it has been so nice out.

My job is going really well, nothing really new to report there. I am glad I have such a great job and benefits! We are really lucky!!
