Chloe at 10 months

Baby Chloe is getting closer and closer to being Toddler Chloe. She likes to be on the move - either in the stroller, 'walking' with someone, rolling, scooting....It's getting harder to get a good picture of her ~ but usually I can get a good one eventually :)


She is curious about new people and places ~ usually giving new faces a very serious look before flashing a smile and waving hello. She charms people everywhere we go ~ I think it's made me more friendly too! :)


Chloe loves to be outside watching cars go by, pointing at birds, waving to anything that moves. She likes the grass now and tries to pluck blades out of the ground. She also likes to dig around in the dirt for rocks, and we're learning (slowly) that rocks are not for eating.


She has a stubborn streak but is still sensitive to a stern "no". We've come a long way in high-chair manners and not eating books :) She claps when she really likes something or when we clap for her. She will voluntarily kiss her baby dolls but only Mom and Dad occasionally.

We're still waiting for her teeth to poke through her gums; I'm loving her toothless grin though :) She started drinking formula at dinner time this month and gulps it down with no problems! She continues to love peas, but has discovered a love for carbs - bread and tortilla in particular.

We love you Chloe! You are a delight!!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)
