We celebrated Margie's 60th birthday and Bob's 28th birthday with a Swanson family weekend in Des Moines on October 3rd.  We had family photos taken and then stayed overnight at the Adventureland Inn.  Carson had tons of fun going down the froggie slide and splashing around. Ella was a happy water baby, too!  We're heading back to Des Moines this Sunday for Ella's baptism. What a cutie!:)

Early October family news

I set out my fall decorations a few weeks ago. Carson had fun playing with some of the Halloween costumes that were tucked in the fall decor totes!

I love the way the fall decorations look with our paint colors. I have more things to put out after Halloween that are more Thanksgiving-themed.

Gosh, how I love footie pajamas!  Can you believe those are size 3T already!  He has slept 9+ hours on the nights we put him in this style PJ's, LOVE THEM! Carson loves playing Leggos and building blocks by himself and with us.

Ben got an 8-point buck with his bow on Friday night down in Mt. Pleasant with his friend, Tim. Tim got a nice 12-pointer. Whoo hoo! Tag filled means the several weekends on our calendar just opened up!:) CONGRATS, BEN!

OTHER BIG FAMILY NEWS: We set the date for BABY BOY #2 to arrive!!

Monday, January 11th, 8:00. As long as I don't go into labor before the scheduled C-section, we have an easy to remember birthday of 1-11-10!  :)
