Weekend update

I have posted a new poll to your right, so please take a moment and cast your vote, as it is much appreciated. In case anyone is wondering, I have made a decision on Lauren's halloween costume. It falls into the "other" category. I don't want to spoil the surprise now, so I won't tell, but it should be good :)

Lauren has developed quite a little attitude lately. When she doesn't like what she's served for dinner, she picks up the pieces from her plate and moves them into the little cupholder on the side of her high chair tray. She has also developed an awful shriek that she uses to let us know she's upset with us. She's still terrified of the vacuum - if she even sees it, she hurries to the farthest corner of the house and cries until it's out of sight and sound. I started taking her to storytime at the library and we have been spending a lot of time outside. Lauren loves playing in the leaves. She also likes doing laps around the kitchen and counting to five. She has added "bubble" to her vocabulary - expanding it from just "apple" and "uh-oh" - and in general likes to wreak havoc everywhere she goes.

Preston volunteered at the Twin Cities marathon last week, handing out drinks at mile 3. The picture is of Justice Page - Justice Page is from Canton, Ohio, played football on Notre Dame's national championship team, attended law school at the University of Minnesota while playing for the Vikings, has run many marathons, and is a current Associate Justice of the Minneosta Supreme Court. He doesn't run marathons anymore, but he does play his tuba along the race route.

Well, that's what we've been up to lately. What have you been up to?
