Today the boys and I took a field trip to my school to visit the Cooper 5th graders and staff. Cole had fun after he warmed up to everyone, but initially, walking into a classroom full of 25 "big kids" who all knew his name was a little overwhelming. By the end of our visit, he was giving high-fives and knucks to all of the kids. Needless to say, the boys were a huge hit with the 5th graders. It was, by the way, my first attempt to take both boys on an outing all by myself. Mission: accomplished. I even packed a lunch for Cole to eat at school! Cole got to eat his lunch in the teachers' lounge, something most kids only dream about. What a mysterious place.

Also, here is a link to Grant's birth announcement in the Duluth News Tribune:
