Mike’s good buddy Uncle Larson was married this weekend in Fargo. It was hard to not go with Mike back for his wedding as both Thomas and I too love Uncle Larson, but we didn’t have a good option for Stella and the cats for pet sitting. 
With a new baby coming into our world so soon, life is going to get a little wild and we were not willing to overly stress the pets. So it was Mike representing our family solo on a quick “boys trip.” Just sayin’ he probably was able to get a lot wilder without Thomas and I there to reign him in! Only bad part is the pictures were from his phone and here they are!
Thomas and I held down the fort for the 36 hours Mike was gone! He got lots of Skyping in with his grandma and grandpa and some good mommy time.
Friday morning we met up with the Welfare/Langenbrunner clan at the Aquarium for some fun. Thomas had his mind on his mission to 
find the baby otter, but stopped for a few minutes to see his other aquarium favorites the shark, big fish, diving birds, and the seals. On the way home he fell asleep and then continued his nap at home so I could get a few things done.
Saturday we got the house in order and played for a few hours with the neighbor boys. We also went on our nice day adventure walk to find the tree tunnels (people in our neighborhood need to cut back their trees that hang over the sidewalks), the chickens, goose statue, soft tall grass and cool rocks/sticks. As always it is an adventure and we always have a good time. 
Once home the neighbor boys who are almost 4 and 6 and Thomas adores played soccer with him, let him try out the scooter, fed Stella sticks and then came in for a little play time before it was time for dinner. Mike was home for dinner and then the Daddy/Thomas time began until bedtime.
Sunday started with Daddy and Thomas playing hockey in the basement, making a sticker art project and then a family trip to the park. I worked on organizing the office for its move downstairs. It was a great weekend both apart and as a family. The old office will now be transformed in to our baby girl’s nursery! Thomas’ magnetic chalkboard is also finished so we tried out a few magnets. 
The little guy has had a rough time getting his second molars in, last night he kept saying “owwa teef” and pointing to both sides of his cheeks. Then today Grandma Nancy asked how they were and he said “no” but during nap it was obvious that his mouth was hurting. Poor guy, the good news is though that they are almost in! 
The bottom 2 have been in for the last few weeks and the top left one is through and the right one has cut through the gum! Wahoo!
Thomas also got to try on his new big boy soccer undies. His tiny little self in these tiny little undies is too adorable for words!
