Massive 365 Challenge Catch Up

So, when I got back from my midwifery conference, our computer was dead...dead, dead, dead. We finally got a new one a few days ago, and I have a lot of photos to catch up on. I think it will be easiest to just post a big 365 catch up of pictures I took over the past month. Here's what we have been up to:

The conference lectures were somewhat disappointing (more "pep" talks than actual information), but it was great to see girls from school who I haven't seen in years!

365 #283 You could see Niagara Falls from the conference hotel. I love the bird flying in front of the falls in this picture.

365 #284 Camera pointing straight into the sun.

365 # 294 We visited the Windmill where Sarah's family runs a beautiful bakery and store.

And bought ourselves some treats.

It was a fun week....but I was glad to be home again. I missed Nate and Joel!

365 #295 Nate is assistant coaching Spencer and Justin's basketball team.

365 #296 No, they aren't all ours....we were kittysitting one of them for a friend.

365 #297 This is why we keep the cats....Joel love them so much! 

365 #298 He loves giving them hugs and kisses...and they actually put up with the attention. 

He says, "Hi kitty. Hi kitty. Mwah!" 

365 #299 And this is why we keep the dog. :) 

 365 #300 He loves to help me mop and sweep

365 #301 He crawls up into this chair all by himself and plays the piano several times a day. He LOVES music! 

365 #302 We got some new kitchen chairs at Ikea. Yay! No more mustard yellow chairs! :)

Joel has become such a big helper

 Sort of anyway..... His little friend wanted to help too.

365 #303 First time in the McDonald's play area....he had lots of aunts and uncles helping him.

365 #304 We also got a train set at Ikea

It was a huge hit....with both of them.
