Auntie Shelly and Madelyn came over on Saturday (Sept 10th) to play and hang out. We always LOVE seeing them!
One of Bishop's new favorite things is to put on our shoes and walk around in them
Grandpa Rich and Grandma Eileen came Saturday night (the 10th) to watch Bishop while we went to check out our friend, Raul's, new restaurant! Bishop had so much fun with them, especially being tickled by Grandpa!
We have some very special pottery that we got for our wedding. It was made especially for us by Richard Bresnahan at St John's University. He made a small cup, just for Bishop (before he was even born) and this is the first time Bishop used it.
He had Hot Chocolate and did VERY well holding the cup and drinking from it. He was pretty proud, excited and he insisted on having MORE after he was done!
Having breakfast with his favorite bear he got in Colorado!
Every year we (well, not really me anymore) help Rich deliver firewood across the twin cities. It is a lot of work, but very fun. This was Bishop's first wood delivery and he loved helping out!

Bishop thought it was pretty neat
Bishop and I visited Madelyn, Shelly and Ryan after helping with the wood--

He played outside and it was a bit cool, so we put his hood up....it looked pretty funny, but it didn't bother him at all (thankfully)!

They all loved it!
That night we had a birthday party for Johnny (across the street from us). Johnny turned 2! He is such a miracle. He was born 12 weeks early and weighed 2lb 2oz. You'd never know it today--he looks and acts like an average 2 year old....and he's so cute!! He's such a great friend to Bishop and they love playing together (it's actually more like Bishop takes whatever toy Johnny has and Johnny thinks they're playing catch, so he thinks it's great---a friendship made in heaven!!)
Climbing and standing on the water table!
Leo, Bishop and Johnny...opening presents!
After the birthday party there was our annual block party! It was an exhausting day with wood delivery, visiting Madelyn, having lunch with the wood deliverers, Johnny's birthday party and then the block party! There were a couple bouncy houses that Bishop jumped in, but he was definitely ready for bed! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures from the block party! I just love our neighborhood and our neighbors...we are so blessed. There are TONS of kids on the block and they range in ages, so it's perfect--plenty of kids for Bishop to play with and look up to.
