Happy September!

Hi Everybody,
September has been a big month for us! Clover is officially walking at 11 months old, pretty exciting stuff! She loves to hold our hand and walk all around the house. Nothing is sweeter than when she comes up to me or Roger and reaches up for us to hold her hand. Clover has also really become attached to her books. We have been reading to her since the first week she came home and now she will grab a book and come over and hand it to us to read to her. We can't believe she is almost one, this year has been a blur. I finally am "starting" to feel like things are getting back to normal. We didn't get to kayak at all this year, but the sacrifices we have made this summer have been worth it to us because we have managed to make sure that all of our free time when we aren't working is spent with Clover. We have adjusted our life around her instead of expecting her to mold around our lifestyle and I will never apologize for that. We love our daughter and want to spend as much time with her as possible.

The picture above is from an event through United HealthCare and March of Dimes where we got to go to Target Field and walk around the warning track before the start of the game. We had a great time and Clover even got down and got some Target Field dirt between her toes! We went to the Harvest festival today at Bayfront Park in Duluth and learned about the CSA's in our area. I think I am going to try and get involved in one for the Spring 2012. This time of year there is a fun local festival almost every weekend and I am looking forward to enjoying each of them with Clover!
