Mid-September our friends Wyatt & Jovanna came to visit
from Chicago. It was AWESOME seeing
them, especially since we hadn't seen them since their wedding (3yrs ago)! As always with our friends, it doesn't matter
how long it’s been, we can just jump right back in. Wyatt & Jovanna did some much needed
relaxing and I took them rock climbing in Superior as well. Couldn't have been a better day for it! It was a great visit, and we hope to see them
soon!
Rohan has started T-Ball now, and I had the great idea that
I should coach…:) The parents are all
pretty good, so it wasn't the nightmare I thought it could be. Most of the kids are pretty athletic and have
some skill in some way, so it’s been fun.
Some are even making progress after 2 practices! Rohan, of course, is probably the fastest
one, and hits just as well as his buddy on the team (Jack). Jack has a much better arm though, but Rohan
is catching up in that area. It’s fun to
watch them wield a metal bat and hit a regulation size ball (with a soft shell
& core).
I also had some tickets for the last series of Diamondback
games. The seats were given to us by a
very generous person ($120 apiece!).
They were ~12 rows behind the Rockies’ dugout and just off home plate. Awesome seats! Tons of foul balls around us, and a pretty
good game with 5 HRs and a DBack comeback, but lost in extra innings. We left in the 11th, and they didn't finish until after we were already at home and in bed (13 innings!).
The last Friday of September we met up with H&J and hit
up the PHX Science Museum (also with free tickets through work!). They had a Lego exhibit (which Rohan was all
about), some educational booths with heart beats transmogrified into drum beats
(pretty cool), and a giant sneezing nose.
Rohan’s favorite was the giant stomach complete with farting noises,
burps, gurgles, and a colon slide…yup…a colon slide. Heather even took a spin down it…:)Heather
also beat John in a head-to-head wheelchair race…good times…:)
We had more visitors from WI, this time work friends of
Michelle’s that were in AZ for a conference.
I agreed to take them on a hike so I picked a night hike at Shaw Butte,
just outside their hotel. The scenery
was awesome, and the sunset was gorgeous.
They bought us dinner afterwards, and we had great time! If they come back, we’ll gladly take them out
again!
We celebrated Oktoberfest with some German & Austrian
friends in downtown PHX. It was the
second year we have been, and it’s fun every time! Mara competed in a stein-holding contest and
came in 3rd to a 70yr old beast of a woman. Rohan was cheering her on loudly as well…:) Lots of pretzels, boots of beer, and
bratwursts & wienerschnitzel.
We had a housewarming party for a friend, that eventually
escalated to a full out Nerf war. Rohan
was running around aiming a fully automatic gun that was taller than he is. Comedy.
Rohan was a madman as well…running to and from rooms, targeting people,
and yelling “Military”…it was awesome…:)
Mara is doing great with the twins, she is at almost 14
weeks. We had several ultrasounds and
some very cool 3D pics. Crazy to see
them in 3D this early! They were not
cooperating, so we couldn't get a sex determination yet. Rohan is flip flopping between all possible
combinations so I think he’ll be happy with whoever will be his siblings…:)
Well…that wraps up the last several weeks! Here are some pics & vids of what we've been up to…
