Life, Kids, Sun

In Pennsylvania

Let’s celebrate!

This past weekend, my cousin and her family came up for a visit. It was their sons birthday, so we had some cake and celebrated, then later on in the day went over to Knoebels. There was a ton of people there, but in the kiddie section the lines weren’t too bad.

The happy birthday boy!

After some yummy cake, naps and a thunderstorm we headed to Knoebels.

They were laughing hysterically on this one

I tried to get us all in the pic

Mike, Ethan, Landon and Malinda

These two were like two peas in a pod!

We loved having them stay with us for the weekend.  It was great being able to catch up and have a good time together.  Kids and all.  We did get away in the evening just us four adults.  Thanks to Micah’s mom for staying with the kids after we put them to bed.  By the way, Micah’s mom, Darlene, went home Monday.  It was nice having her here with us, the girls really loved having Grammy here to play with them as well.


Busy, busy

Keira loves crawling, everywhere.  We are really enjoying the apartment we are living in right now, with carpet everywhere.  It’s great for her crawling sessions.   She also just got her first tooth!  It was one of the bottom ones.  And I think her top teeth are just about to make an appearance too.  But she seems about as happy as ever.  And a really happy baby she is.  Keira loves being tickled, cuddled and being chased.  I can’t believe she is 10 months!  Time is going by too fast!!

We went for the first time to the Lewisburg Farmers Market.  It was really hot that day, but we had a fun time walking around.

The following day,  all of us ladies went out for tea in Lancaster.  We decided to try a new place called Sugarplums & Tea.  It was in this really pretty building and the room was basically a sun room.  We met my sister in law, and my friend and her girls there as well.  It was nice to have a ladies day out, without little children wanting constant attention.  So thank you Micah and Nelson for watching the kiddos!
