We love visitors!

We were lucky enough to have Aunt Mary, Mak, and Zak visit us for a weekend.  Then Papa and Grandma came for a week.  We all have lots of fun and fresh air!  It was a great opportunity to celebrate the Fall birthdays on the Haggar side.  Then we spent an afternoon at Uncle Terry and Aunt Colleen's house.
We very much appreciate family willing to make the drive to see us, wherever we are!

Papa delivered Charlie's new headboard he made!  Thank you!

He designed it to look like an old whiskey barrel to go with the Pirate themed bedroom.  Charlie loves it!

Charlie is determined to beat Papa the next visit!

Mom was busy the whole week making us curtains for the basement.  Thank you!

Olsons celebrate Fall babies

The Whittingtons hosted the Fall birthday party in Hutchinson on Oct 5th.  It was a chilly day but the kiddos still roller bladed and biked outside.  The twins and Tim appreciated everyone's thoughtfulness and warm birthday wishes!  It is always wonderful to be surrounded by family.

Max and Linc give back


It took us longer than I'd like to get their donation done for their 4th birthday BUT we did it!  Since we moved, the boys needed to find a new animal shelter to help.  We settled on Coon Rapids Animal Humane Society.  The boys received help from Mom and Dad, Papa, Grandma, Uncle Terry, and Aunt Colleen this year.  They picked out lots of animal toys, treats, collars, and snugglies.
Their favorite part is always to walk around and visit the animals.  This shelter had dogs, cats, rats, Guinea pigs, and birds.  
MAX AND LINC - Mom and Dad hope that you continue to give to those that are in need.  Your compassion and warmth for those around you makes us so proud!  Don't ever stop caring for others and Always reach out to help.

WE LOVE YOU BOTH TO THE MOON AND BACK!

Partying with our Neighbors!

We are so blessed to have such great neighbors!  We all moved in to our new houses within a month of each other.  We instantly found new friends!  We were fortunate enough to celebrate Max and Lincoln's birthday with them yesterday.  We went to Zero Gravity, played ping pong, opened presents, had a great dinner and yummy cake.  
Thank you Thank you Thank you for a great night, great friendships, and being a great neighborhood support system!
