Camping Trip Part 2

We enjoyed an extended-stay at my Uncle and Aunt's house.  My parents, sisters, and family stayed a few extra days and did some "off campus" activities:



A train was coming - April and Connor were pretty excited :)








Mawna attempted to make April smile by making funny faces and waving her hands in the air....so that's what April did too :)


A river visit:



my hot hubby





Cousin time!!



Pap flew his airplane!


April was Uncle Andrew's buddy - here they are taking a stroll around the garden.

Smores...and this happened.


More cousin time! Coloring, game playing, running around - everything was more fun when Connor was there!


time-out for a birthday gift for Chole!



Missing Uncle Tom, but a pretty good family photo!

It looks like you had a fabulous time with memories to last many, many years. Without a doubt these are THE cutest 3 kiddos I have seen in quite a while (at least the past 23 years :) ). I can just see Mawna trying her best to get April to smile only to have April respond as she did - I'm surprised you're not all cracking up over that one! Love being able to keep up with your sweet little family via your blog. ~ Michelle G.

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! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

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 ...
