Halloween Weekend

 Hate to see the end of a fun weekend.  Friday night we had dinner with the Eckmans and Wahlbergs.  Ingrid got to play with her friends, Elsa, Klara and Sam.  

On Saturday we headed out to Anoka, The Halloween Capitol of the World for the Halloween parade.  Afterwards we went to Grandpa and Grandma Anderson's house to hang out with the Millard cousins.   Grandpa pulled all the kids on his tractor.  Ingrid jumped in for a pose, but will probably ride next year.   

Later Ingrid spent some time with Great Grandpa Anderson.  They discussed how to deal with the Gophers loosing streak.

A good first Halloween I would say.  

Playing in the Leaves

Solid Food.

No doubt Ingrid is Scandinavian.  Her first meal was white, bland and without emotion.

Black coffee and desserts were not served afterwards.  

Pumpkin Patch

Ingrid had her first visit to a pumpkin patch last weekend.  We bought some carving pumpkins, baking pumpkins, decorative pumpkins and apple cider.

In other news, Ingrid had her 6 month check up.  All is well and she is up to (drum roll please).....13 lbs!!!  Almost 10 over her birth weight.  Just as a teaser for all of you child development fanatics, be checking back for solid food updates.  We are starting soon.

We've also been on the lookout for daycare.  While we love all the attention Ingrid is getting from Grandma Bonnie and Grandma Joan (we love all their extra treats and chores for us too!), they deserve to do retired people things.  We have a couple leads, but if you have any suggestions we'll take them!
