Nicole Visits

My sister Nicole came and visited Bennett this past weekend. It was a fun weekend as it was New Market/Elko's annual Fire and Rescue parade and street dance. Brian was of course busy working so it was nice to have the company. While Nicole was with us I also got a couple days of extra sleep. When Bennett woke up she would take him for some quality auntie time and I slept!! Much appreciated!

For those of you who don't know my Grandma made both of us "blankies" when we were born. Nicole is now 32 years old and still carries hers with her EVERYWHERE she goes! She was nice enough to share it with Bennett...he absolutely LOVED it! I've attached some pictures of the two of them and the blankie. It was pretty cute--he really did love it, it was the first time he brought a blanket up to his face. Nicole was nice enough to share it with him while she was here.

Bennett enjoying the warm bath water pool....can you tell it was warm in there? The camera even fogged up!

Bennett had his first vaction---The Wisconsin Dells!!

We just got back from a long weekend at the Dells. We all had a wonderful time. Both families enjoyed a beautiful weekend there. (Minus Bill and Marietta) Bennett enjoyed himself and it would have been hard not to, he was spolied ALL weekend. We had him swimming in the kiddie pool that was heated to bath water. It was adorable to watch him love the water. The adults and Anna also had a great time. The company was great, the weather was beautiful and the entertainment was fun. I think we will be making the Dells a yearly or bi-yearly vacation!
