Pet Fish

It's official... our family has our first pets! Today we went to Walmart and bought two fish, and the kids couldn't be happier! They have named them Hannah (Montana) and Spiderman:) Eryn has been asking for a puppy for quite some time, so we needed to start slow with the pets so she can learn to care for them. It will be awhile before we get a puppy.... but in the meantime the kids can learn to take care of their fish.

Eryn had her first field trip of the year this week to Peake's apple orchard in Waukon. She had a great time. Her new tooth is starting to come in.... and she lost another filling, so I will need to call the dentist tomorrow to see what he has to say. She's lost the same filling twice now, so I am not sure what will happen from here. She also woke up with a cough and swollen tonsils this morning, but it doesn't seem to bother her.... hopefully it's not a case of the strep starting!

Both kids got their first round of flu shots for the first time this week. Boy that was NOT fun! Nolan did better than Eryn did; the bad news is that they have to go back for a second round since this is the first time they have had the shots. Hopefully it goes better this next time!

Yesterday we went to Rendevous in Fort Atkinson and enjoyed root beer and fry bread. Then we headed for my aunt and uncles for my cousin Ann's bridal shower. It was so good to see everyone and visit with them!! I am really looking forward to the Carolan Christmas in a few months:)

Eryn Lost her First Tooth:)

Our little girl is growing up!! She has had a loose tooth for a couple of weeks now, and I have been trying to get her to let me pull it out. She got up enough courage tonight after supper and out it came! She was so happy and excited! Thanks to Mrs. Styve for making up the pillow for the tooth to go in until the Tooth Fairy arrives:)

The Park

Today was so nice out we decided to go to the park for a little "picnic." Well, Nolan chose not to take a nap again today so he was not in a very good mood; our stay didn't last long, but I managed to get some good pics of the kids!

"Hannah Montana"

Watch out Spillville, Hannah Montana is in town! Eryn's Halloween costume arrived on Friday and she was sooooo excited to try it on. It fits great, and even comes with a wig. Can't wait for Halloween!
