Birthdays and Birth Days

First of all, it has been far too long since the last blog. I keep forgetting to bring my camera or take pictures when I do have it with me. We also haven't gone on any big trips or anything in November, but we did go to Nick's cabin and had a fun-filled weekend with our friends in October. I will have to get some pictures from friends who were much better about taking pictures those weekends than I was. I guess we were just having too much fun!

This weekend, Will and I celebrated his birthday a couple of months late. He has wanted to go see the Minnesota Rollergirls for a long time, so I got him tickets for his birthday:) It was a fun event and I think we were starting to understand the rules by the end of the bout. Happy Belated Birthday Will- the final year of your 20's!

I also had the privilege of meeting my friend's daughter, Kailyn for the first time last weekend! She was only 3 days old in the pictures above, and such an adorable tiny little peanut. Nichole looks amazing and was a great hostess with a house full of visitors. You would never have known she was still recovering from childbirth! What a superwoman! It was so fun to watch her and Colin with Kailyn, too. They were just so excited and taking everything in stride. Kailyn was awake the whole time Megan and I were visiting too, so we each got to spend some time with her. Megan reminded me that we have a picture of the three of us together when Nichole had gotten her first little kitten (probably 7 or 8 years ago)- and now we have almost the same picture with the first baby. It is so exciting! It will be so fun to see Kailyn grow and see Nichole and Colin grow into the amazing parents I know they will be.

With the holiday season coming up, I will have a lot of things to post about! Sadly, after updating my computer to Windows 7, though, there are no longer the same photo editing tools available. I can edit in a different program, but it is not nearly as good. I guess I will actually have to learn how to take good pictures with my camera now, instead of just editing them afterwards. So the pics in the upcoming blogs may not look so great, but hopefully I'll find a good solution!

Until next time,
