Construction Time!

This past week seemed to just fly by! We had a pretty typical week. I had a park and rec meeting on Wednesday night and those meetings are never short! There is always a lot to be discussed. We are at a point as I am sure many cities are where there is not as much money coming in as years past. This means that the construction of new parks has slowed, and we are trying to determine what makes the most sense for the current system. We are also in the midst of planning our next event which will take place in December. It's all very exciting!

Jaxson has been a little out sorts this weekend. He has been running a low fever-and just hasn't been acting like himself. He slept most of the day on Friday. Saturday, he woke up and seemed to be feeling a little better. We went to the Children's Museum in St. Paul and he had a really good time, but he just came home and crashed. Saturday night we went over the neighbors for a Mexican Fiesta! We always have so much fun with them! Vada was her usual self- into everything. Jaxson was a trooper. We ended up calling it an early night because he started to look pretty peeked. He seems to be doing a better tonight....we are crossing our fingers that he is on the way to 100%.

Today, Presten had to go to church early because he had to talk in all three services. We are doing something in December called Project Homeless and now that he is the Chair of Missions committee he working at recruiting some of our congregation members. He did a great job!

This afternoon Chris came over to help Presten get going on the bathroom. We may have a working toilet by Thanksgiving! Kristin and I spent the afternoon at the outlet mall-and we found some pretty exciting deals!

Vada continues to keep us on our toes! She is our little brute and she has no fears! She has learned how to bring to stool from the bathroom and get up onto the couch. She thinks that she is so funny that she can get up there. If she is not watching she will roll right off the couch....Jaxson would be a sobbing mess if that happened to him. Vada does this over and over and gets right up! She is one tough girl! We pretty much just laugh at her all day everyday!

This week we will be getting ready for Thanksgiving and hopefully making some progress on the bathroom! Thank goodness for Chris!!

Have a great week!! The Bean's
