Nancy's Visit

We were so lucky to have Nancy come for a last-minute impromptu visit at the end of August. She arrived on Friday, August 23 and didn't leave until Tuesday, September 3. It was so great to see her! We got lots of stuff fit in to her visit; the pool, the beach, the children's museum, etc. I'm just a tad disappointed the baby didn't make his/her appearance while she was here, though! And Nancy was nice enough to watch Kate on Saturday, August 24 so we could go to the Wonder Ball at the Children's Museum with some friends. It's a fundraiser for the museum, and it's basically a "grown-up prom." We went out to eat at Nostrano's beforehand, which had some.... interesting.... food (let's just say the quail, which I ordered, was the most "normal" thing on the menu) but it was still fun to get dressed up and go out. Then we headed to the ball where we hung out until after midnight; quite late for us now that we're old folks ;)

Shots from our Sandy Beach trip on Sunday, the 25th:























At my dr. appointment on Monday the 26th. Kate is always such a good helper for the doctor; she likes to put the goo on my stomach and hold the doppler heartbeat wand.

Yet more swimming!

It has finally (at the end of August!) been real swimming weather! We spent Sunday the 18th at the Sun Prairie Aquatic Center as a family, and then Kate & I went there again on Monday. Tuesday we spent some time in our pool, and then on Wednesday we went to Sandy Beach with our playgroup. So much fun! It was a beautiful sunny day, and the kids had a great time swimming and playing in the sand. She took a huge nap afterward (of course!) and then we decided to go swimming again, this time at our pool. She is such a little fish!



 So excited to be heading to the beach!

Swimming!

Here are some shots of Kate from her last day of swimming lessons at the Sun Prairie Aquatic Center, when they're allowed to play with the slides, toys, etc. And also some shots of her I took at the lake but forgot to include in my other post!
