We had a great Labor Day weekend. We went to my Godfathers cabin, as we do every year. We headed up on Saturday morning, and came home on Tuesday night. We spent almost the entire weekend outside enjoying the fresh air, and we had great weather. Marty (Godfather) has a lot of land that his cabin is on, so it is perfect for playing boccie ball, and other lawn games. Adam, Asa and i stayed in one half of the guest cabin, and Chuck and Bridget stayed in the other half of the guest cabin. Joey slept in a tent, and my parents and Marty slept in the main cabin. Asa was great at the lake. It was a little difficult adjusting to the routine of getting up at night being in a new place, and not having the comfort of my bed to nurse him in, but it was still great. We even got him a life jacket and took him on the boat. Sunday night in town they have a "Bizarre" that we went to. It is a small festival that the church puts on. They have bingo, dancing, a raffle, and the BEST greasy hamburgers that we have ever had. We talk about them all year round. It was really fun. Adam won at bingo, and Marty won $40 at the raffle.
Things at the Heeren house have been great! I think this week i have really realized how little sleep i have been getting. Adam is going to start working on Monday, so i have been trying to do all of the getting up in the middle of the night to help him out and get used to having to be the one to get up each time to feed Asa. With that being said, i have been really tired during the day, and have realized i have to take advantage of taking naps.
We reached sort of a milestone this week as well. Asa is now breastfeeding, and not using the shield. I didn't think he would be willing to feed without it, but with a bit of persistence, and trial and error, we have successfully not used the shield since Tuesday. Maybe TMI?
Also, i have had a sore throat for like the past 3 weeks. It went away over the Labor Day weekend, however i woke up this morning and it was back again. Not sure what is up with that, but it is getting really frustrating!

It was a fun weekend. BTW it was the Harding Bazaar, not Bizarre although it was really quite bizarre when most of the bingo wins were by the Lepkes, wojowhowitzs, Pulaks and Father Dave.
Love Jim
