Imitations and Matching

Gretta has been imitating a lot more lately, here she has her baby Thomas in her shirt or in a "sling" like I carry Maggie on a walk!

Their first matching item! These adorable shirts are from Grandpa Fred, Grandma Rachel, Auntie Molly and Uncle Elden, SO CUTE!!

Here she imitates soothing herself with her finger like Maggie, she then also fake cried as seen in the next photo....

Just to prove not every picture is happy smiley, some moments are just hilarious!

The Happy Smiley from both girls!

Gorgeous Colors of Fall

One Month Old!

Might as well show off that hair with a barrette!

Since she was born on the 31st of the month, when there are only 30 days in the month I technically have an extra day to take pictures, right?!

She has been having a few more awake moments but still sleeping quite well most of the time.

Sisterly love! The novelty has not worn off yet, Gretta is still loving her little sister!

Fun fall weekend

We were at Dozinky Days down in New Prague for Gretta and Maggie's first time.

It was so much fun, saw some old cars and lots of people and got a taste of little cousin's dancing skills that they taught to Gretta.

 

Also went bowling for our friend Jess's (30th!!) birthday

Devin and Gretta got a little help with bowling.

Best of the Wurst! Last activity of the weekend (church festival) and Gretta had to try on Grandpa Fred's German hat.

Maggie got to meet her Great-Grandma Ellie.

While last weekend she met both her other Great-Grandmas....Glady and Lil. Imagine the genes she received from all these beautiful Great-Grandmas!

Park!

Gretta showed us which way to go....

We took the wagon from Great-Grandma Ellie and loaded Maggie up for her first trip to the park.

 

Helpful as usual!

Daddy daughter camping trip

Josh and Gretta went camping last week, it was her first time and she loved it! She got to sleep in a tent....

and go hiking with her new hiking shoes.

They also got to see some animals! She was a little afraid of a raccoon by their tent but liked the baby deer.

Settling in.....

Bedtime stories

Having more awake moments!

Gretta is adoring her little sister and wants to hold her all the time which resulted in them napping together the other day!

Surprise!!

We welcomed another little girl 3 weeks early!

Margaret Rachel......we'll call her Maggie.

Josh's grandma Edna's middle name was Margaret and is Jess's mom's baptismal name and Rachel is after Josh's mom. (I am sure there is all sorts of grammatical mistakes with apostrophes in this sentence so excuse my english!)

Gretta is loving her little sister!

Had to honk her nose right away.

and give kisses of course!

We are so excited and happy to have another little girl in the family!
