End of August

The last week of August has brought a lot of activity to our house, back to school, baseball game, cereal and a little girl who likes to scoot backwards!

First day of school - Montessori morning preschool 3-6 class
Trying rice cereal for the first time - loved it!
Hanging out in my swing, just being cute!


I-Cubs game for Dad's work

Check it out - 2011 4-A baseball state champs!

Four Months Old

Our little sweetheart Miss G is four months old! She's getting so big - rolling, lifting her head up, babbling, grabbing at everything in sight! No teeth yet, but I have a feeling it will be soon (Alex got his first two at four months). She had professional pictures taken, which I will post when we get them. For now, here are some photos I've taken the last two days...






Fair Fun


Going to the Iowa State Fair is almost required of Iowa residents so we fulfilled our obligation on Tuesday with our cousins...



No 80s nostalgia would be complete without Bigfoot!

This is one of the two big food crazes at the Fair this year: red velvet funnel cake. The other is the fried butter on a stick, which we did not try!

All of the cousins with Grandma!

First a corndog, now some cotton candy!

Looks like someone is trying to negotiate a piece of cotton candy!

One last treat before we left!

Just like a rolling stone...

On Saturday, we rolled from stomach to back. On Sunday, we changed it up and did it back to stomach! Roll on, little one, roll on!

Baptism Weekend

We were very fortunate to be joined by friends and family for the baptism of our daughter and her cousins. Four children from the same family, and the deacon who baptized them taught every single one of us in high school. We were honored to have Becky and Caleb and Morgan and Jimmy as Greer's godparents and we thank them for their love and support.
