Labor Day weekend

We had a busy Labor Day weekend! Saturday, some friends who hadn't seen Paige yet came over. The first Huskers game was also on so it was a good time to get people together. A couple of our friends that did come over have young children so besides the adults, there were also 4 other little ones running around! It was fun to watch the little kids play, but it also was a look into how much "crazier" things will be for us once Paige is old enough to run around and get into things. It's so "easy" now that she just sleeps or lays still in one spot.
Sunday and Monday, the weather was amazing so we wanted to do something outside. We decided we would go fishing. We usually go to a lake right here in town that is stocked with fish, called Standing Bear. This was our first trip like this out with Paige. We got everything set up near the lake, but it was too sunny and just a bit breezy for Paige. Sarah was nice and took Paige up to the car, allowing daddy to keep fishing. We backed the car up to the fishing spot so Sarah and Paige could still watch. Paige immediately fell asleep though, or maybe she was already sleeping! We had to snap a picture though of Paige with her first fish!!
Monday we wanted to try a different lake for a change of pace. We found Walnut Creek Lake down south in the suburb of Papillion. The lake was much bigger than Standing Bear, but was harder to access. It did have a nice dock though so we brought out the stroller and spent a couple of hours fishing again. Mom took care of Paige, while daddy fished again. Paige did sleep for part of the time in the stroller, but spent a good amount of time laid out on the dock watching all the other families fishing.
One other thing to note, Paige has begun to get her lungs behind her crying. Monday night she was wanting to eat every 1.5-2 hours and when she was hungry, she let us know!! We've never seen her get that mad before or turn that red in the face. At one point, we wondered whether she was going to take a breath again as she was building up a scream!! Oh joy!!!


Paige in her cat hat, we were going to use to cover her ears from the wind. It didn't seem to fit her head right though so it didn't cover up her ears real well, so we just kept her out of the breeze as much as possible


Sarah up in the back of the Edge with Paige. I don't blame Paige for sleeping. Watching someone else fish can be boring!


trying to show Paige one of daddy's monster fish, but she wasn't interested!
