Minnetonka Apple Orchard

On Sunday morning we ventured out to the Minnetonka Apple Orchard. David saw some animals, played on the train, we went on a hayride and picked out a pumpkin. Here are some pictures from our outing.

Embassy Suites w/ Gustavus Girlfriends

David and Damon

Damon, David, Tracy, Sydney, Wendy, Joy

We stayed at the Embassy Suites on Saturday night. We brought all the kids to swim in the pool in the afternoon and then the dads picked up the kids so the Moms could have a fun night out.

Billie and Tracy w/ Fancy Drinks

A rare scene - Wendy drinking water.

(she is 11 weeks pregnant)

Ugghhh...I remember this feeling

Big news, in case anyone doesn't know...I'm expecting! Exciting news for the Lee Family! Poor David has no idea what is going to happen to his little world : )

With all the excitement also comes the nausea, exhaustion and worrying. If I can make it through the next 4-6 weeks I know it gets better. Until then Damon will just have to deal with me and my many moods.

Last week we saw the heartbeat so that was very reassuring. I have a nurse appointment tomorrow and then will see my doctor in a few weeks.

It all just makes me think of David when he was born and how little he was.

aaahhhhh

Here's to Good Women

Here's to Good Women

May we know them

May we be them

May we raise them!

My friends Britta and Natalie did the Breast Cancer 3 day this weekend. They each raised over $5000 for Breast Cancer Research. I am amazed at their feats (both physically and fund-raising). On Saturday I went to see them at one of the Cheer Stations in St. Paul. Britta called me and asked that I bring them each one beer.

True Northwoods Women!

Nissa gives Britta a good stretch.

Foxy got stuck under the deck

Foxy and Jimmy have been digging to get under the deck. Chipmunks perhaps?? Damon had to do a rescue 911 on Saturday afternoon.

Cousins

Carrie and Charles babysat David last Friday night so we could go to a wedding. Here is an adorable picture of Bobby, David and Greta hanging out in Greta's new princess tent.

Sunday

On Sunday we went and watched Damon play at Spirit Garage (filling in for someone) and then went to the Twins Game. They lost : ( but we had a good time anyway. Bobby ate lots of good food and entertained us all by dancing in the 9th inning.

Greta's 2nd Birthday Party

Winnie and Vivi's Birthday party

We went to Winnie and Vivi's 4th Birthday Party at the Children's Museum. Happy Birthday girls!!

Tettegouche State Park Pictures

We spent a very fun couple of nights camping at Tettegouche State Park on the North Shore. The first night poured and poured and lightening and thundered and poured some more, but luckily David slept through the whole night. Damon and I sure didn't get any sleep. We spent the next day hiking the trails and exploring the shore. The evening brought a bit more rain just as I was preparing Spaghetti for dinner. We had to eat it in the tent which was no easy feat with a 2 year old. At one point I told David he could just each cookies for dinner because I was sick of picking up spaghetti noodles and dripped sauce all over the floor of the tent. But the rain stopped, we got David to sleep and were finally able to enjoy a few beers by the fire!
