Armstrong's August Happenings

It has been too long since my first entry.  Sorry for the delay.  We have been busy lately.  Sonny and I joined a MOMS club this month so we've been enjoying activities with other stay-at-home moms and their kids.  We have been to a fish hatchery and to the UW Geology Museum.  We've also hung out with the group at the splash park and the coffee shop.  Playgroups are starting in September and I've been asked to head one up.  How do you organize a playgroup?  I'll get back to you on that one.

My nephew, Wesley, spent a weekend with us a few weeks ago.  Ben's sister, Amy and  her husband, Rich went to NY to visit his twin brother.  He and his wife just had a bab

y.  Amy and Rich went to check out the little guy before Amy's "no travel rule" begins.  She is due to have her second child in October.  Sonny and Wesley had a great time together.  They pl

ayed trucks, played hard at the park and even enjoyed a bike ride over to the UW Union Terrace to eat a picnic dinner and watch the sunset that Saturday night with Hannah who lives in downtown Madison.

We just returned home from a week at the farmhouse in Douglas, MI with Ben's extended family.  His Grandma Ruthie had a huge 90th Birthday Bash on August 16th with dinner and dancing.  Sonny can really shake a leg on the dance floor.  The rest of the week was spent with Amy, Rich, Wesley and Ben's parents.  We had a great time at the beach, in the pool and on the boat. And take Sonny's word for it...the boat is a great place to take a nap! 

As most of you know, we affectionately call Sonny our "Little Chris Farley".  He's always got some funny stunt up his sleeve.  He loves to show off his acrobatic skills on our leather lounge chair, but the funniest thing I think he's done lately is simply to come around the corner, look up at you with a smile and say, "Hi Momma, what's up?"  I don't have any idea where that came from but it's pretty darn cute!
