Fun with Dad


Jake was able to take a week off work when we had the baby! He made it a very fun and special time for all of the kids! They played baseball and jumped on the trampoline! Best of all they had a campout! Braden and Kaitlin set up the tent without help! They also helped set up the sleeping arrangements. They watched a movie and ate popcorn until it got dark and then they had a fire and told ghost stories. Ryan tells the funniest little stories! I think they all got a little sleep.


I took them on Saturday to an Art Festival at the park. The kids made tons of crafts: Braden made a painting by painting a dead fish and then taking its print. Yuck! Bubby made a really cool macaroni necklace and Kaitlin made a fairy wand that was 100% covered in glitter! The thing they wanted to do the most though was face painting!


Jake took Kaitlin and Ryan on a hike up Sauk Mountain. He had to carry Ryan most of the way up. It sure was a beautiful view! The kids have really enjoyed their special time with Dad!

Allison!


I just cannot get enough of this little girl! It is so amazing how quickly a baby starts changing looks! Allie is starting to take on her own little look- best shown in the last picture. She is the sweetest nicest little baby. She doesn't really cry- just will fuss a little if she wakes up hungry. She sits and looks around at everything. I love holding her and watching her. What a wonderful blessing to have such a mild tempered (for now!) little spirit! I love her so much! I'm glad she has completed our little family!
