When you are taking on such a big and exciting new experience, no one can be blamed for thinking of safety first. Here is Connor's "learning how to ride a two wheeler" outfit. "So I don't hurt my eyes, if I crash." he informed me. Three day and he is cruising off on his own.

Here is the picture that ran in the Fargo Forumn today.

 I know I said I would put new pictures up, but I'm having a problem with the keyboard on our big computer and that is where all the  pictures are.  I can't log onto any thing on the big computer.  I'm trying to figure it out, but I'm really not computer savvy!!!!!

Anyway, here is an update.

Connor is LOVING soccer.  He finished preschool and starts kindergarten next year.   We are having a great start to the summer.  If it would stop raining that would help alot!!!!  We went out in our rain gear yesterday and stomped in puddles.  I have really cute pictures, but as you know you'll not be seeing them at this time.    He is starting to know the names of the NASCAR Truck drivers now!!!!!  I kept them from him as long as I could.  I still don't know all the names of the car drivers and now I'll have to look up some of the other drivers, so I don't seem totally lame.  Did you know there is a whole other NASCAR racing circuit for pickup trucks?  His goal for this summer is to learn how to ride a two wheeler.

Piper has been occupied with all her babies.  Eva, Frances, Ego , Little Mama and the newest one Meedle.   Connor doesn't get to name any of them, he's just their dad, she tells me.   We were home in Fargo and she spent lots of time with Grandma Gwen.  They made one hundred million cookies and sent them all home with us.   Yum.  She gave herself a little haircut in the car on the way home from Fargo.  Luckily, she managed to just feather the top a little.   I always thought it would be Connor who would take the big hunk out of his hair.  I guess there is still time.  

Cormac is still as cute as ever.  Connor and Piper love him so much that they have managed to forgive him every time he has bitten them!!!  With three kids, one of them was going to be a biter!!!!    He loves to jump and it cracks me up every time.  He will crouch way down and then spring up.  His feet never leave the ground, but he laughs every time and is SOOOOOO proud of himself.   He is getting teeth by the bushel now.  Strangely they are all coming in on the same side of his mouth.  He is getting all his left side teeth and the right ones are taking their own sweet time.  It looks kinda crazy.  

We went tent camping with a group of friends that we have been camping with forever.  It used to be crazy with the wine and beer, and now it's crazy with kids.  There are four couples that each have two kids and then us with three.  21 people is a lot of activity.  The oldest kid is 6 and the youngest is 19 months.  Man were our kids dirty!!!!!!!   Lots of fun though.  Everyone keeps their dry groceries in big plastic tubs, Cormac figured out how to open all of them and was in snacking heaven.  He ate so much junk food,  I think his new favorite is Pringles.
