ModMa

Most of you know that my friend Tracey and I started a group for modern mamas in the area. We had our first meeting this past Wednesday and it was a total success! We were covered in the town paper--there is a picture in the print copy, but you can read the online version at the link below and visit our website at the other link...enjoy!

Michael on the Wakeboard

Michael on the wakeboard!

September 11th then September 19th




The weekend of September 11th Kyle came to visit. We got him to hold Bennett, but couldn't get the camera in time before Kyle's system rejected the holding of the baby and we had to save Bennett from falling...:-)
Michael came the following weekend to meet his nephew and go out on the boat. This was his first time here since he spent the summer with us...we have to do it more frequently now that he is out of college and a member of the real world. We got Michael out on the wakeboard and he was able to get up and ride his first time out! We finished off the visit with a trip to Einstein bagels...our favorite!
Grandpa Kline got Bennett his exersaucer around the same time...he love it! He can't quite jump around yet, but he LOVES to stand up and fusses if he can't be standing, so we thought we'd get it started!

Labor Day Weekend September 7th






















So I am really far behind on my blog posts because I have been trying to upload pictures only to find that I was trying to upload videos and pics in the same upload which is frowned upon by the blogger system. Yes I do have a college education...just goes to show you...
On Labor Day Karen, Brian and Andrew drove up from New Jersey to spend time with us. These are some pics out at St. Mary's by the Sea in Black Rock:-)
Sept 7th also marked Bennett's first FSU football game against Miami...we didn't get the win, but
Bennett learned how to do the chop!

Lots of Happenings!
















Last weekend on the 28th-30th the Howard's came up for a visit. It was so great to see Hailey up and walking, almost on her own! Then this past Thursday Bennett went on his first plane ride to Nashville and then his first stay in a hotel! He did great--didn't cry at all for take off and landing! He slept 7 hours at the hotel, so pretty normal, but I had to keep him in the bed because I was just too exhausted to go through the motions of putting him down in the crib. When we got back, he slept through the night as if nothing happened--what a good little traveller!

Michigan Fan!!





Although Grandpa Kline is pushing for FSU, see posts below, Bennett is a Michigan fan!! Here are some shots of him getting ready for the game today. Cheering, singing Hail to the victors, tearing off his shirt, and yelling about Coach Rodriguez. Looking forward to a fun 1st season of college football with my little guy!!! -posted by Mark without input from Ali!
