Catching up

I can't believe it has been a month and a half since our last update! Lots to catch up on.

Ian has been hard at work selling popcorn and wreaths for Scouts. The wreath sales are through our troop, a portion will go to Ian's Jamboree trip next summer. Popcorn sales are JUST for the boys going to the Jamboree. I have been proud of him the past couple evenings. He has been out selling despite the cold and wet. The Jamboree is not a cheap trip, and so we are encouraging him to do all the fundraising he can. He is also doing a letter from Santa fundraiser and we have a few other ideas in the works (which might include a spring garage sale).

Rowan is busy as ever. He is finally back in his room/crib tonight after spending several nights in the play pen in our room. After launching himself out of the crib, we felt safer having him up here with us. Now we purchased a crib tent to prevent him from crawling out of there. He isn't talking much at all (he prefers shrieking) but  will say Mom and Dad, and for some reason is referring to Cleo as "guy".  Tonight Jeff found him in his room, taking baby wipes out of the container one by one and throwing them away in the diaper pail. He's so helpful.

You probably remember my tooth injury from Cleo this summer. I finally had a root canal on the front tooth, and it is healing up.  It is a bit discolored and is crooked, which drives me nuts. 
Not sure if I'll get it straightened or not, have to look into the details of it.

Looking forward to Halloween. Ian hasn't picked a costume. We have two for Rowan... a horse (that looks like a cow) from Grandpa and a penquin. He'll wear one at the neighbor's party, and the other to Trick or Treat.

We spent a night in Walker over MEA followed by a night at 3 Bears Holiday Inn WaterPark hotel in Brainerd. It was fun. Rowan was scared of the water first, but got used to it.

I'll try to be better about posting...
