It's Been Such A Long Time...

Okay, wow, it's been a while since I have added anything new to my blog. I guess I am a bad blogger (please forgive me!). But a lot has happened over the last few months that has not really allowed me the time to sit down and write a litle something.
So where do I start? Hmmm, let's see, Nicholas has gone over the five month mark and we are now only a few weeks away from 6 months; we are guessing that he is around 18lbs now, we'll know soon enough I guess. It is amazing, it seems like I did blink because the summer just flew right on by. We did our annual stop at the Cannon Valley Parade on the 4th of July. Then in late August we went to the Minnesota State Fair. On Labor Day at the MN State Fair we went to see Toby Keith with my parents and sister Kelly, this was a very good concert, he can really put on a good show. Two days later we flew ou to see Hannah's sister Heather and her family out in the DC area. Nicholas did well for his first plane rides. Very little fussing, slept most of the time and was in really good spirits when he was awake. We drove up to Gettysburg (really cool); we saw the Holocaust Museum in DC (very eye opening and very important for anyone going to DC to put on your must see list); hit the Bureau of Engraving & Printing and saw $$$ being printed (very interesting process). It was difficult to see these two for me since I like to take pictures and at the Holocaust museum they don't want you to take pictures out of reverence for those impacted; and Engraving & Printing said that if you take pictures, video or other recording that they would stop the tour right there and have you escorted out by federal agents (I think everyone got the message...). But here are some of the pictures that I was able to take.

Ciao!
