Girls Day Out

This week Amanda took the girls for a special day at the Children's Theater Company production of Cinderella.  A wonderful time was had by all and as you can see from the pictures below, everyone looked beautiful.

Happy Halloween

Things have been flying at the Minnesota Gammons house.  So much so that we decided to punt on Halloween costumes.  The kids all pulled something out of the play room the morning of.  We had a great team even still.

We took in a pretty good haul.  I said to some coworkers that Halloween is one of the only holidays where it pays to have six kids.  We'll be eating this candy until Christmas.

Fall Door County Trip

Last weekend we ventured to Door County, Wisconsin for our regular get-together with all of Amanda's family from the Chicago area.  We had another great time.  Al Johnson's restaurant, Peninsula State Park, apple orchards, the fish boil and hanging out with family.  We love this place and love returning there regularly.

Let's play hockey!

Last night we got to go to a Minnesota Wild hockey game.  It was a blast!  While I grew up in hockey country and attended many games growing up, this was the boys first hockey game.  We got there early and were able to watch the team warm up, got the compulsory picture with Noordy the mascot, and got our food.  The seats were great and best of all they were given to us.  What's better than a night of free hockey with the boys?  Not much!

Brothers

All of the brothers at our house love their newest little brother.   It is so good to see them love on him and hope for what God is doing in their heart because of this love.

Brvroom, brvroom

This is the sound that Nathan makes whenever he wants to do one of his favorite things: a Rhino ride, the quad or standing in the van and playing like he's driving.  He makes this sound a lot.  Whenever we are outside he goes, "Brvroom, brvroom," and points to the garage.  The kid doesn't do a lot of sitting still.  He's got lots of opinions about what he thinks he should be doing.  As you can see from the above smile, when he gets to do something he wants, he's not shy about letting you know how happy he is.  Nathan is a ton of fun to have around and I sure do love that smile.
