Snack Time

Katrien was just enjoying her nighttime snack:

Some Random Pictures

I'll give you one guess who got to lick the brownie mix spoon!

My little acrobat!

Growing fast!

Kiera Rolling Over!

Kiera is a master at rolling over now! She rolled from her back to front on the 16th of Sept (last week)! We caught it on video, I think this was only the 2nd time she had done it!

Cloth Diapers!

Check out the new diapers!! They are so cute and have passed the initial test today. She has had her first cloth diaper on for quite a while, and I'm impressed! They are so cute! We have yet to add to our collection, but I thought a "trial run" of 3 would start us off well. So far so good!

Girls Only Road Trip!

This past week, the girls and I went with our friend Amanda to see Sarah, a best friend of mine from back in the day (high school)! She lives in PA, about a 6 hour drive from us. We had a great time with just us girls! Here are some of the highlights!

Katrien enjoyed their piano!

Ready to shop??

The neighbors had a miniature horse that we had to go and see. On the left is Ralf, Sarah's dog.

Katrien made a friend, Hope. They were getting ready to feed the horse's some apples!

Eating at "Fudruckers"!

Jam session!! We actually had a great time singing together, because we used to sing a lot together as "Girls for God" around the churches in the Clymer/Findley Lake area. Ah, those were the days! Keep your eyes open for our soon to come album! :)

Amanda and Sarah are famous for their version of "Heart and Soul"
and they even know the actual words!

Peace

I love being a mom! The craziness of picking up after the perpetual messes, the kissing of the "booboos" after they fall, the bed time stories and songs... but I also love when they are asleep!


She didn't get a very good nap today, so she just ran out of gas at the end of the day before I could get her in bed. So cute!

Camping

This past weekend we were over at Family Affair Campground in North East, PA. My grandparents have been camping there since I was a kid and now my aunts have sites too! Aunt Wendy graciously allowed us to camp out for a few days! We had a great time and cooked over the fire, made smores, and just hung out with family. It was a great way to spend Mike's last few days before the busy season at work! This is Aunt Wendy's camper we stayed in:

Katrien was a fan of the sand box.

...and the ramp at Grandpa's site!

This pic is bound to make you smile!

We played a "hand and foot" tournament,

but took a break for some entertainment provided by the neighbors. They were really good!
Derrick and Katrien were the percussion section.

Then Mike joined in!

We had a great time! I think even Mike was surprised
that he wasn't bored the whole weekend!
