11 months

So is it me or wasn't it just yesterday we were posting about 10 months? Now here we are.....already at 11 months and only 1 month to go until we have a 1-year-old! I have to say this might have been one of the hardest months so far to capture her. She didn't want to sit or stand still or look at me much at all. However, that is probably ok because I guess that really just shows her personality!

This was Josh's idea for the sign....

Gretta was super helpful, she says Sally (her doll) is also 11 months.

And....we're done.

All sorts of random

Ok, this summer is slipping by and we lose track of time quite easily (even though it is bleeping hot out and seems like we are spending a lot of time indoors, because who really likes to sweat from every pore on their body?) but here are some things we've been up to that just haven't had a chance to blog about.....

Need a haircut?

Done!

Combatting the heat with the sprinkler!

Lots of park time, sweating or no sweating!

Uncle Seth got to come see the park too!

Maggie started standing without assistance and taking some steps on her own!

As always, sisterly love.....

Sprinklers at the park, Maggie was so not afraid!

Gretta was a little more cautious.

Hiking, can you tell this is one of her favorite dresses, even had to wear it hiking. Complete with her "hiker" shoes and camelback.

Maggie LOVED this mode of transport!

Turning out to be a pretty good summer!

Josh has had some rough days, but also some days like this where he feels great and wants to get out and DO things!

5 years ago.....

We got married!

5 years gift is wood, therefore this beautiful cutting board was given to me by my wonderful husband!

Thank you Sarah for watching the girls so we could get gussied up and have some dinner out by ourselves!

And then home to more love.....so much has happened in 5 years and its been amazing!

Cabin and 4th....catching up!

So glad we've gotten to have a few trips up north this summer!

Grandma, Grandpa and their girls!

Couldn't decide which of these pics I liked the best.....Petra and Gretta being sweet cousins.

Their first experience with a slip and slide! This is mostly what they did but did get the hang of it towards the end!

Jeff had to demonstrate....

and help them out a little.....

Look at these girls in stripes! SO freaking cute.

And a Happy 4th of July!

10 months old

Decided to split these posts up a little so as not to overwhelm our viewers, starting with
The 10 Month Old.

It has gone so much faster with the 2nd, its practically a blur. Cannot believe this little girl will be ONE YEAR OLD in 2 months!

She is becoming quite the adventurer.....climbing, climbing, climbing!

Embracing the sun

And taking hold of life more every day......
