It's so hard to believe that it's only been a week since we posted -- what a fun and busy week! We started going to daycare and we both have handled that terrificly. Mommy came to get me the first day and I was still all dressed up in my flower girl dress from the wedding we had that afternoon -- so apparently I'm making friends and getting along just fine! Lynnette has lots of cars to play with, which is really all that Harrison needs to be happy, so he has adjusted well too. Mom was amazed at how much more work she was able to get accomplished when she was all alone in her office!
After she picked us up on Wednesday, Mom dropped us off at Grandma and Grandpa's for a sleepover. We got to stay for two whole days and nights and we had the best time with them! In fact, I asked Mom & Dad if I could stay there "each single day!" Mommy & Daddy headed to Sioux Falls to meet with some really phenomenal people who wanted to help Daddy with his campaign and then went to a fundraising event at the Lt. Governor's house....they really felt special! But they were happy to come back home to us and we had a fun weekend playing.
We headed to the pool to get in as much splashing as we can before the end of the summer. They bought us some water rings and intertubes so that we could work on our confidence in the water alone. I was a pro at kicking around in the intertube and Harrison has no fear about jumping off the side of the pool -- you really have to be watching because he doesn't always check to make sure someone's ready to catch him!



Saturday night when we were getting ready for our baths, Harrison kept saying "potty too, potty too" so they let him sit up on the potty for a while. He's done this a few times with no result and usually will only sit there if he has a book or magazine to flip through while looking for trucks :). But this time, he went potty! We realize it's nowhere near time to throw away the Huggies, but it was exciting and he sure was proud of himself!

By Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa were missing us already so they came and took us for a ride in the pickup while Mom & Dad went to church. The sweet corn is ready so we went and picked some to bring home to have a "corn party." Grandma made a yummy lunch and we got to eat outside and even Great Grandma and Great Grandpa came! I never did end up trying the corn after all my talk about wanting it, but everyone else said it was really good! (When they said sweet corn, I was kinda envisioning candy corn!)


I finished off the corn party by telling some of my scary stories and this one involved a troll hiding in Grandma's toy box, so I ran and climbed in to pretend to be the troll (I don't look very scary though, do I????)

Grandma and Grandpa played with us for the rest of the day while Mom & Dad went to an event -- campaign season is gearing up again! Now we're counting down the days to this weekend because Nona & Stacey are coming up to visit from Boulder -- so fun!

WOW, yall have been busy, but it all sounds good and fun!
Harrison cracks me up with his extreme love of cars/trucks - such a handsome lil man, even sitting on the potty!
I sure miss Reagan's fun personality, which is blooming SO much!
Have a great week!
Hey Karen - Evan has become a pro in the water with a life jacket on... I obviously still want him to learn without one, but he'll swim everywhere - even in the lake - with absolutely no fear, and we are always watching, but feel very confident about his safety with a great life jacket. Sounds like you are having a ball at all your events. It must be great to have family nearby to free you up so much :) I'm excited to hear about your campaign as it progresses!
Oh boy! You guys are staying busy. Thats great to hear. It is nice to have the grandparents around. I just can't believe how big the kids are getting. Reagan has such a great imagination. And Harrison, such a little man. Take care and hopefully we can come to visit when we are in Miller SD:)
