A Little Catch-Up

I haven't been blogging a lot and I'm also behind on some big things, so I'll catch up a bit right now.  Last month, my mom visited while Jon was in Rochester for Fall break.  I wish I could have visited his family as well, but my vacation time is accrued quite slowly.  So, my mom and I thought it would be a good time for a visit rather than me being alone.  It's really been nice having the train for her to come down on and I always love stopping by the train depot to pick her up!  She was a good help with the Pocket Baby while I was at work and Molly loved having someone to cuddle next to and hang out with rather than being in her little bathroom all day.  Although I was busy with some things, it was nice having time to hang out with my mom and enjoy some of her tasty cooking!  Unfortunately with our new place of living, I don't think I'll get these treats in the next year.  On the weekend, I did have to babysit, but she was able to come along with and meet the boys and get to experience my babysitting adventures! 

On Sunday, though, I also got to see my dad and Anders!  Jon had driven home from Rochester so that we could drive up to Milwaukee and meet them to go to the Brewer's game 6 against the Cardinals.  We were both really excited because we had never been to such a special game like that.  The atmosphere at the field was pretty amazing!  Plus, we've never gotten the chance to tailgate in the middle of October before.  

 Pre-game smiles!

Applewursts and Japaleno Cheesewurst tailgating!

Love him!  

Ahhh, nice banner to see: NL Central Champions!

Anders, not happy.  Pretty sure his expression never improved, but only got worse as the Cardinals kept scoring.  Even though it was painful to watch the Cardinals win, it was a lot of fun to be at a playoff game.  Thanks dad for a great and special experience! 

When we came home, mom had been taking care of the Pocket and both were happy to see us, but we were still bummed out about the game.  Thankfully, my mom got to stay for two more days and we got to have some more special time together.  Thanks for making the trek down, mom!  I'm glad we'll get to see everybody (including my soon-to-be-neice) in a few weeks!
