Keeping busy.

Life is continuing to keep us busy around here. Every night seems to have us running some where and every weekend seems to have lots of either us going or people coming. This last weekend my parents were in town to pick up their car which we used to haul the piano back to our home. It looks really nice sitting in our living room, and once it is tuned it will sound nice as well. Dad, Ryan, Aaron and I were able to squeeze in a few rounds this weekend as well. My golf improvement is slow, but I still love the game. I have included some picture from the past week.

Adam had if final night of swimming lessons...at least for this session.

Our little fish needed no help from daddy paddling around the pool.
Sunday evening we got to spend some quality time with our Goddaughter Clair. She is getting so big!

I attempted to pose the kids for a cute picture, and little did I realize what a challenge that could be. I am not going to tell you how many pictures I took to get this one to even kind of turn out.

Up the shore

We had some good family time in Duluth this weekend. We celebrated Granny's birthday, hung out a the annual Proctor Hoghead Festival and enjoyed the beautiful weather on a trip up the North Shore. Saturday, the whole Clover family went up the shore to visit some of Papa's favorite spots and remember the memories and good times spent there. I take for granted how beautiful the scenery is on the lake shore. I am glad that we were able to show Adam the places were our family has enjoyed so many happy times.

Scenes from Portage Brook, unfortunately these pictures do not do it justice. It was so beautiful.

Our Birthday Boy

Now that my travels are finally over, I can hopefully keep up on the blog a little more. I have put on quite a few miles in the past month and am looking forward of a few weeks of staying put with the exception of a few weekends away. I came home from Portland on Friday (big thanks to the grandmas for helping Ryan out while I was gone) and it was time to party.

Yesterday our little man exited his terrible twos, which turned out the be the terrific twos, and is now a big 3 year old. We had a little party at our place with only 15 adults and 10 children. They video below shows a bit of the excitement, especially with the present opening. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts. I think Adam received every Toy Story toy made, which he loves. Toy Story also happened to be the party theme.

Here are some of the kids at the kids table. (Grace, Adam Raleigh, Bergen and Anika)

Opening one of his many gifts.
The birthday cake before it was cut into.

Just some of the fun. The engineer costume was from Adam's Uncle Dan and Aunt Liz.

Saturday sprinkler fun

What better way to spend a hot Saturday afternoon than running through the sprinkler with dad!
