Back to B-ville

Katie was really excited about hitting the local mall

Hey, we may not be at home, but game day is still game day!

We had so much fun visiting with our good friends, the Lindbloms. We are really lucky to have such good friends that we always have such fun catching up with and who are always so kind to take us in (and the mountain of crap we travel with!)

Look out Noble..you are getting a hug whether you want one or not!

What we've been up to...

Kate and Ryan got their first baths in the kitchen sink (an important childhood right of passage)

they loved it, of course!

Ryan got a new OSU hat

and our buddy Charlie came to visit from Ohio (along with his mom and dad, our good friends, Matt and Hilary.) Having a baby so small around really makes me realize how big my babies are getting. It is funny to see them as the "big kids" in the group (notice the strategically placed and carefully contained Mills twins). It was so nice to visit with our friends. Maybe next time they come we will actually get out to a restaurant!

Are you ready for some football?

'Tis the season for football around the Mills house and we kicked it off with a busy week. Ryan and Kate enjoyed their first football games very much. We went to the 8th grade game on Thursday night (Uncle Justin's team) and managed to avoid getting washed away in a down pour of rain. Of course in the chaos of the storm, I left the house without my camera, so no pics from that one! Then Friday night was the high school game (where we took these pics) and the little Pioneers were very excited to be out supporting their team. This was also a great opportunity for several of my teacher friends to see the babies. Of course kick-off at 7:00 with a 7:30 bed time does not leave much time to watch the game, but at least we made it there! And of course, Saturday was OSU. Matt and I gave up our season tickets a few years back and I think we've been to one game in the last 3 years, but we got to watch our Cowboys on tv, so that was fun too. We are looking forward to the rest of the season(s) and will keep you posted as Ryan learns football plays and Kate studies up to one day be Uncle Justin's water girl (after Cousin Cori of course!)

Kate loved cheering for the home team (aka yelling at everyone around her)

Ryan just loved being at the game (such a boy!)
