First walk with Andrew

We took advantage of the warm weather to get outside a bit today.  He was being a bit fussy, but as soon as we got outside he settled down and fell asleep :)

Our new-to-us double stroller.  Just missing big brother Aaron!

So tiny in his car seat :)

Meeting great grandpa & grandma

We took Andrew to meet great-papa & great grandma last night.  He was wide awake for most of the visit and enjoyed being held briefly by both.  Andrew is great grandchild #16 on the Kohlhepp side!

Tired girl

Addie's teacher sent this picture to me today...

"It was an exhausting field trip...she fell sound asleep when we got back!!!" :)

Happy Birthday Gabe!

Happy Birthday Addie!

I can't believe this girl is 5!

We had a special birthday breakfast...pancakes with sprinkles.  (yes, we look a little rough around here in the mornings :)

Opening her present from Mom & Dad

We spent the gorgeous afternoon at Fairfax Pool with Olivia.

Then that evening we had a family party at Cherry Berry - a family favorite!

Addie & Greta

Addie - some day when you ask me how I let you go out in public like this, I will remind you that you wouldn't let me get near your hair with a brush! :)

Aaron enjoyed some frozen yogurt too, thanks to his aunties

Addie & Mimi

Aaron loves technology just as much as Grandma

Pumpkin Patch

Well, it's been over a year since my last post.  And there are just a few changes in our lives... mainly we moved back to Wisconsin and added a sweet little boy to our family.  We are thrilled to be a family of 5!  I have been inspired to start blogging again so I can remember these everyday moments.       Today we made the most of a beautiful Fall day by checking out a local pumpkin patch.  Oddly enough, I didn't get any pictures by the pumpkins... but I did snap a few of the kids enjoying the corn maze, hay bale stack, train and play set.

Tap Dancers

Greta has inherited a pair of tap shoes from her cousin Zoey and loves to put on "shows" for us. On a sunny day (we try and be outside every second that the sun is shining!) we inverted our Ikea kids table and found that it made the perfect tap stage. The girls also recently watched the movie Annie...so here is our own version of tap dancing to the finale of Annie.



p.s. I know this video is not quite up to the standards of Connie Kohlhepp productions, but I am trying :)

photo shoot

Last week I had the chance to photograph this adorable two year old boy. It was fun to get behind the camera again! These are a couple of my favorites...
