Stupid Computer

So it's been 2 weeks since I've posted and that's for a couple reasons. Nate and I have been very busy the last two weeks. We had the opportunity to host Nate's family all last week and had a blast! I have so many pictures, stories and videos to share. However, I can't right now, which brings me to the other reason for no post, our computer is currently broken. This old laptop I am using doesn't enable me to upload our photos and videos. Therefore, please continue to check and be patient, I will post our Thanksgiving week and other things the moment our computer is back up and running!

Chase

Nate, Elyse and I went to Tom, Jenny and Aiden's yesterday and Tom captured this video. After seeing it on their blog I had to copy it and paste it for all of you to see. Hope you enjoy, we think it's fun and super cute.

#1 Bib

I want to start off and say that I can not take credit for finding these bibs. Our friends, Tim and Christy McCollough recommended these to us and I have to blog on them because they really are the best bibs out there. They were suppose to be a gift for Elyse for Christmas, but Nate and I couldn't wait to use them. They are by Baby Bjorn and can be found online (I prefer going through Target or Amazon).

So why are they so great? Well it's because they fit the necks perfectly, very flexible, big pocket to catch extra food and they are dishwasher safe. As you can see from the video, all of us Klausers enjoy these bibs.

Girls Night Out

So last night was the first "Girls Night Out" I've attended since Elyse was born. All of us girls got dressed up and headed downtown Minneapolis to have yummy desserts at the Melting Pot (fondue restaurant). We only had one rule, no talking about our kids. We figured it was still important to talk about our husbands, which we did ;) The food, atmosphere and company was all perfect. I went to bed with sore cheeks from laughing so much. Overall, it was just what I needed.

Thank you ladies for such an amazing evening, and a special thanks to our husbands, Nate, Nick, Tom, Seth, Ryan, Kris and Joel for being so supportive and taking over on Dada duties for the evening. You all are wonderful husbands and I can say on behalf of all us ladies, we love you!

Puppy Love

Yesterday evening, Nate and I had the opportunity to watch our good friends, Tom and Jenny's son, Aiden (aka, Elyse's future husband). Anyway, we have watched Aiden a few times in the past, but now that him and Elyse are at the same developmental level of walking and talking to one another tonight was really easy and a lot of fun. The children kept each other entertained. They chased one other on the slide for a good 15 minutes, it was way too cute. We captured some of it, it's kind of long but there are a lot of adorable moments. Who knew puppy love started at 1 years old?!

Meeting Sophie

Nate, Elyse and I had the opportunity to go see my stepdad, Gary and mom late this morning to meet their newest baby, Sophie, a 11 week old West Highland Terrier. Elyse never really knows what to do with dogs, but by the time we left she and Sophie were buddies.

It was great seeing you Gary and Mom, and meeting Sophie.

Absolutely Wonderful

Ever since I started dating Nate, I have gotten spoiled many times and today was no exception and here's the reason why:
I woke up this morning to find all these envelops full of poems for me. The first one was a heads up to enjoy my day and get ready for a day of relaxation and being pampered. At 10:20 I discovered that my mom is in on it and comes up to babysit Elyse all day. Babysitting Elyse all day is a gift for mom too :)
Then the 10:30 envelop informs me I need to follow the directions to an unknown appointment I have at 11:30. I get there and find out I get a pedicure and 1 1/2 hour stone rock massage. Oh my goodness, amazing!!!
After I finish being pampered I read the last note and go home to shower and get ready to go out again with Nate.
Now it's 5:00 and Nate and I are off to a beautiful, romantic dinner and finishing the night with shopping.
Seriously, I have an an absolutely wonderful husband! Thank you so much Nate for such a perfect day. I love you so much and will treasure this day always. (A special thanks also to my mom for watching Elyse.)
