Dear Landon,

It is very important to remember that during your basketball game, while you're on the court is not the time to run over to the stands to ask me if you can watch The Dark Knight Rises. Those kinds of questions can wait until after the buzzer has sounded.

Sincerely,
Mom

Dear Kalahari Resort (Wisconsin Dells),
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your excellent amenities. This is our third time coming to Wisconsin Dells and the two times previous we have stayed at a different resort. They were nice, and we had a good time, but your resort was our favorite, by far. The awesome 5 bedroom condo allowed all 11 children to run free and enjoy space to play and be loud. We (the adults) loved the door to door shuttle service from our condo to the waterpark. We were a little worried when a big snow storm hit Minneapolis on the day before we were to arrive. The roads ended up being ok, and we made it in time for two days of fun on the waterslides. All 11 children (and a few of the adults that were not too chicken) had a blast on the waterslides, in the wave pool and trying out the indoor boogie boarding. Keep up the excellent service! I would highly recommend your resort to anyone.

Sincerely,
Erin Hale

Dear Noah,
I knew this day would come. I just didn't think it would be on Thanksgiving. I hope this will slow you down, but I know it probably won't. You are such a special little guy and we love you so much! Just try and steer clear of the holidays from now on.

Love,
Mom

Dear Readers of my Blog (if there are any left),

Dear Grandmas,
We know how much you love pictures of your grandkids, so here are some of them playing at the park on Labor Day. It was nice because Mike and I just sat and talked while the kids played. I think at one point, we actually fell asleep for awhile. Aren't they just so cute?

Love,
Mike and Erin
