Birthdays

Over the weekend we had lots of birthdays in our family:

Grandma S.' birthday ~ although you can't see her face in this picture, I love that Chloe is smiling at her. It just shows you how much Chloe loves her!

Mimi's birthday ~ in this picture, I think Mimi was singing a song, or something, and Chloe was loving every minute of it :)


Mommom's 80th birthday was on Monday, but on Sunday we had a family get together to celebrate this momentous number!


My uncle deep fried a turkey (for those of you who have never had this, you are really missing out! It's great!). Here is the before:

Going into the fryer:

After! Look at that delicious bird!


Here are all the girls (Michelle, Laura, Mommom, Chloe, Alison, Grandma B.)

Chloe had a great time! Here she is hanging out with her Aunts:

Grandpa B. was showing her how the pinwheel works:


She was a happy girl all afternoon!


We are thankful for all these wonderful women that Chloe has in her life ~ great examples of Christian women that she can look up to as she gets older. We hope you had terrific birthdays!!!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in!

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
