The Otte's

Well, it looks like we will have a hard time getting lost, as we leave pretty good tracks.

Here we were putting a kite together with Grandpa Steve.

We had fun flying it, or at least trying to fly it a few times over this weekend.

It was a busy weekend.  We went to Omaha for a night at the hotel, so we could swim and swim.  We also went out to eat.  We went to Spagetti Works, in the Old Market, and it was wonderful.  We sat outside, and talked about our names and how they can change if you get married or adopted.  Pray for us, as things are happening, but I can't get to excited yet, but things are going well for our family!  We also got to listen to a couple guys who were singing on the street corner, and we all loved it, but Quinn really loved it.  We talked about their music for a lot of the night, and Quinn could not get enough.  What a lovely night.  After such a fun dinner, on our walk back to the hotel, Quinn's chair broke.  It simply went from running to hitting a bump, and it was done.  It told us the motor was malfunctioning.  Yikes!  Thankfully the guys at Total took time out of their weekend and got her chair fixed.  Thanks to John for pushing a heavy chair back to the van, and thanks to all three kids for being so patient with the malfunction.  

Quinn swam the least amount of time.  She did not want to swim on Saturday night, instead she was sound asleep much earlier then usual, and Sunday morning she only was in the pool maybe 10 minutes before she was saying brrrrr, and she was all done.  So the two of us hung out as her chair got fixed, and everyone else was in the pool.

Then we went up to Grandma and Grandpa's.  We got to spend one day playing outside, then the next two days it was raining or super cold, so we spent time baking Halloween cookies, cutting out decorations, playing on the computer, or snuggling up and loving on each other.

It was a great way to reconnect and relax.  So now we are ready to start our 2nd quarter of school and get ready for the fun fall weather.
