Wow! We've had a couple of busy days! On Thursday as I headed off to work, Brian took Cade up to Izatys to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa Reimer. I laughed when I saw this picture of cade on the four wheeler- Brian is so excited to have someone to play with! They had a great time. Grandma Reimer brought Cade on some walks- which he loves. They came home just in time for my parents, Grandma and Grandpa Cox to come for a visit. Auntie Jamie and Cousin Sophie came over as well. Sophie is Cade's beautiful 1 year old cousin. It is getting so fun to see the two of them together because they are really starting to interact. On Friday night all Sophie wanted to do was give Cade a hug. She extended her arms several times and tried to grab him- so cute. Then she would stare at him closely and pat him on his head. We're pretty sure that Shophie thinks he is a doll to play with. Sophie is crawling up a storm and before too long she'll be walking! Next year at this time Jamie and I will really have our hands full on our sister outings! Yesterday Cade spent quality time with Grandma and Grandpa Cox while we went to work (Thanks for the help again!) They had a lot of fun. My parents could not believe how much Cade loves his jumper. Even when he's not in it, he's bouncing! I predict that we have an athlete on our hands! However, we think Cade is really starting to get some teeth- pretty fussy yesterday.

My First Trip to the Minnesota State Fair!

Today turned out to be a great day for the fair. Although we woke up this morning to strong thunderstorms, it was nice and cool by the time we got there with no rain. We had a great time. I reminded Brian that it was last year at the fair that he swore he would "never be one of those parents" with a frumpy stroller bumping into people and there we were doing exactly that! I can say that we did a great job and did not take anyone out with our big rig. Cade seemed interested with all the people at the fair. It was hard to get him to concentrate on his bottle when he had so much to look at. Cade has a definite obsession with ceiling fans and when we went to sit down in one of the stands he was in heaven to find the entire ceiling covered with them. We had a good laugh. It will be a lt more fun at the Fair when Cade is a bit older, but it was a great practice run today!

Here We Go......Our First Blog Entry!

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Cade's very own Blog. I have seen and heard from so many that blogs are the best way to share pictures, stories, laughes, and memories with family and friends. I figure that instead of having thousands of pictures lying around the house and countless memory sticks filled with the zillion pictures we take of Cade, that we would have this blog for ourselves and everyone else to look at and watch Cade as he grows up. Cade has only been here for five and a half months, but is already growing quickly before our eyes. Brian and I are excited that this will give us a great way to record his milestones and always be able to look back and smile!
