It's Been a Busy Month!

Wow! I can't believe that it has been a month since I posted last! Let me catch you up on The Kings...

1. The boys and I have been spending as much time outside as possible trying to soak in all this beautiful fall weather and temps! Whether it is the park, going for a walk/bike ride, or just playing outside our house, we are happy as clams :)
2. The twins have learned a new trick...to climb as high as they can as fast as they can! This involves tables, chairs, toys, couches, stairs, gates...I am sure you get the picture! It has been a very stressful time for me, as I can't let them out of my sight! I am hoping the "new"ness will wear off...eventually!!
3. Sean is loving his school, his brothers, his friends, playing outside, watching cartoons, doing school work, books, and so much more! He is really loving life right now. Sometimes testing the limits...who am I kidding...this happens regularly ;) We are working hard at writing, coloring, and cutting! He does awesome.
4. Graham has been running all over the cities for his clinicals. Some have been more enjoyable than others. I guess that is a good thing, as it helps him narrow down all the choices of possible specialties. He leaves extremely early every morning and tries to come home for dinner, it just all depends on the rotation he is in.
5. I have kept myself busy playing with my boys, running errands, and the usual house work. A good friend of mine calls herself a "home manager"...I think that is a great title, and I am going to borrow it! Thanks, Julie! I have enjoyed seeing friends, long walks, and great talks :) I can't forget my Caribou fix every now and then.
6. We have had some fun visits this past month, too. Darlene and Ginger came for the afternoon and stayed for dinner. It was fun to catch up and see them play with the boys. They sure enjoyed the attention!
7. Then, we met Graham's sister Crystal and family at Emma Krumbee's for lunch and the apple orchard. It was a great way to catch up and to have them up to our house :) Sean loved the "candy store" on the way and tells me all about it every time we pass the big yellow barn on 169!
8. Some great friends, The Hansons, came up our way and spent the afternoon/evening with us. It was so fun to visit and let our kids play. They introduced Sean to the iPad...big mistake as now he wants one! They are pretty awesome and can do so much! I hope Santa can find one for a steal of a deal somewhere...
9. I was able to help Amy with The Chef's Auction in Mankato, and I had a blast! My sister works very hard and her business is incredible! I don't know how she ever keeps up!
10. We celebrated an old family friend's wedding this past weekend. Riley Hoffman married his long time sweetheart, Chelsea. It was a beautiful wedding and rockin' reception! Great to see our our friends/family. We had a lot of fun! Thanks, Ginger, for watching our crew!

Well, I promise to update more often this month. Hope you are all well. I will post some pictures soon.
