Going for a Walk

If You're Having a Bad Day...

...I guarantee this will put a smile on your face!

Jordan's Birthday

I took the girls to Madison to celebrate our good friend Jordan's 5th birthday.  The party was at Pump It Up--a place I have been wanting to take the girls but haven't been brave enough to take all three of them myself.  Adding a drive to Madison upped the challenge a bit, but we all had so much fun and it turned out to be a great day!  We will definitely be returning to Pump It Up--Lucy and Ella loved it!

Happy Birthday, Jordan!  We are so glad we were able to celebrate with you!

Charlie's Baptism

This sweet little boy has found his way into my heart.  I feel so lucky to be his Godmother!

Fun in Shawano

While Greg was away for his Boards Review, Lucy and Ella spent a few fun-filled days in Shawano with Oma and Opa.  Auntie Julie and Jones came up for a surprise visit, too!  They had a blast going on nature walks, playing at the playground, doing arts and crafts, and having campfires and smores.  The visit ended with a birthday party for Opa...thanks for the wonderful memories, Oma and Opa!

Buzzing Babbler!

Audrey's new babble is hilarious!

Crawling!

While Greg was away in North Carolina for a Boards review course, Audrey learned to crawl! Surprise, Daddy!

Biter Biscuit & 2 Teeth

Silly Ella

8 Months

Audrey is 8 months old!  She is sitting up on her own, saying "so big," clapping her hands, and has her first two teeth!  She has stopped sucking her thumb...she has been doing it less and less for a while and seems to be done with it.  Audrey loves to sit and roll a ball back and forth with anyone who is willing--she gets so excited!  Audrey likes to have conversations with us...if we mimic her noises, she will echo back and try to keep us going.  She's practicing with a sippy cup and is loving biter biscuits.  We are in love with her smile and her giggles...we can't get enough!  Lucy and Ella love to keep Audrey happy for me and they feel so good when she laughs for them.  Audrey, of course, adores her big sisters and wants to be wherever they are.
