Happy Birthday Michelle!

Will made an appearance at Michelle's Birthday party last weekend.  He finally got to meet her and the rest of the gang.  It was a great night to be outside with friends and wonderful music!  I got another chance to hold Kim and Neil's littlest man Ryker.

I have fingers!

Will has now discovered that he has fingers and they can grab things.  Here he is playing with the cute owl that Grandma and Papa bought for him in May.  I think it was his first toy.  Right now it looks bigger than he is.  Don't be fooled.  He fits perfectly in the 3-6 month clothing now.  If he has another growth spurt we may have to enter the 6-9 month.

Visiting Alden and Amelia

We had a great time staying with Solvei, Alden and Amelia.  I love their reindeer pjs.  I wish they came in extra extra tall for me.  Will met his first doggie.  I should have taken a picture of him with Java.  Solvei, Herb, and Carole all helped with Will.  I got a wonderful long nap.  Yay!

Doesn't Alden have the look of a 15 year old in the top photo?!  I can totally see his future self.

The Preiners

Will and I visited the Preiners in MN.  Sara got some pictures of all of us.  Here are a few that I took with my camera.  Michael and Joshua are a similar age difference as Louis and Will.  I can't wait to get all of the boys together at the same time.  Of course I may need ear plugs someday.

So You Think You Can Dance

I love So You Think You Can Dance.  My sister and I saw the very first live show ever in Seattle 8 seasons ago.  The closest city they go to these days in Minneapolis.  What a wonderful excuse to go visit and spend a fun girl's night out with Solvei!

Minnesota at the Oelfkes

Will and I traveled to MN earlier in the month to see family and friends.  We spent the first two nights at our cousins' house.  Sonja, Alexis and Kate babysat Will so I could go to watch a dance performance in downtown Minneapolis.  We both had a great time and can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving!!

Will turned 3 months old on November 4th.  He was not wanting to smile.  I think taking photos before feeding him was an issue.   Of course he probably would have been asleep if I had tried after meal time.  Check out the signature Will pose.  He just needs a bow an arrow.  Maybe he should take archery classes.  He has watched the hunger games with me a few times.
