Summer

We have enjoyed a lot of time at the Peters cabin this summer. It is hard to believe the summer is almost over. Here are two of my favorites from this past week.


Greta loves to swing on our back porch.

A quick little photo shoot with Addie (these were just taken today)

Here are some pictures from our time at the Peter's cabin over the 4th...

Our best attempt at a family picture :-)

Loopy Greta

Greta gets a little loopy when it is past her bedtime and she has an audience. Her three favorite dance moves: spinning, falling and jumping

Great Grandpa Kohlhepp

Catching Up

I have a ton of pictures to share from Addie's first two weeks of life. I will try and catch up in the next couple of days. First of all, I have to share the video of Greta meeting Addie at the hospital. Thanks Mom for making the video!

Facelift

Due to inspiration from my friend Amber's blog, I decided to add a little facelift. Black was getting a little boring and with 2 girls I need a little more pink in my life :-)

Welcome Addie!

Adelaide Anne (Addie) Peters was born Tuesday, June 17 at 11:29 am. She weighed 7 lb 2 oz and was 20 inches long. So far she has been a sweet baby, even putting up with a few "love pats" from her sister. Here are just a few pictures :-)

Itsy Bitsy

Greta's favorite song is definitely Itsy Bitsy Spider - she always sings along in her high soprano voice. (thanks Grandma Connie for the video :-)

A fine Spring day

Some pictures from earlier in May...

It's hard to share

Yesterday I had the chance to take some pictures of our good friends Aaron and Heather and their daughter Olivia. After the photo session and some lunch Olivia and Greta "played" together for a little bit. I am not so sure Greta is ready for a sibling to share with - she definitely has the "it's mine" facial expression down!

Mexico

For some reason, I am having a hard time keeping up with my blog. Maybe it's because it is finally nice enough outside to actually want to be there, or it could be the very active toddler I spend most of my day chasing around. For those of you who are unaware of the toddler language, here are a few translations: "come here" means go, "go" means go, "sit down, please" means go, "wait for mommy" means go, etc! All that to say, Greta is a ton of active fun :-)

Here are a few pictures from our Mexico trip at the end of April. It was so great to see Dave, Shelly and Zoey and experience a brief snapshot of what their life has been like this past year.

Zoey and the lambs on the Rancho

Zoey and her best friends, Regina and Danny

Sharing a smoothie, Mmmmm!

Jon and Dave, deep in conversation

A highlight of the trip...lots of pool time!
