Ready for fall

Loads of family time

Last weekend we celebrated Great-Grandma Thelma's birthday. She was thrilled to have all 4 of her grandchildren and great grandkids there.






Nicole and Isabel stayed here for a portion of the week while Joe finished up work in Chicago. We got some good shots of Katie & Isabel.

First day of preschool

Today was Kevin's first day at his new school. He was really excited. At drop off, he was so excited to see his teacher, he did not even wave goodbye, he just took her hand and marched inside. Other moms were left curbside with tears in their eyes, but I was too proud to cry. Now at home with Katie, the house is way too quiet!

Playtime

The Andersen's loaned us their exersaucer, Katie loves it!

Rub -a- dub

Two kids in the tub!






Kevin is very tan after our trip to the beach! Someday his sister will be very jealous. Even as an infant, Kevin had a suntan. Katie's skin is much more fair.

Iowa State Fair

This is my first post directly from my iPad!

A few weeks ago we took Kevin to the Fair
