Fair week

Last week we attended the Bloomsburg Fair quite a few times, which was one place we missed a lot while we were in Russia.  It’s filled with lots of different things… yummy fair food, games, rides, food, buildings filled with different exhibits, animals, and more food.  Here are some pictures from the week.

Met up with my best friend from high school


Birthday time

On thursday the 20th, our baby turned one year old!  Keira woke up on her birthday not feeling so well with another cold she had caught a couple days before. Thankfully no parties were planned, just a get together with family for some cake.  But after getting dressed the birthday girl started to feel better.

This is how the birthday girl woke up

There’s our happy girl

Violet wanted her hair done like Keira’s hair

Always wanting to stand

…and climb

Silly Violet

It was turning out to be a nice day outside, so I took the girls outside for some pictures.

No hands touching the pumpkin!

Yay! I’m one today!

On friday the 21st, was my (Katrina) birthday.   I turned 28 years old!  Where has the time gone?  Micah planned some things for the day one of which included us going out to eat.  Afterwards we were going to go nearby to see a good friend of mine who we went to the Bible school with and was also in our wedding.  Turns out, Micah called Martha and had her and her husband come to the restaurant to meet us.  It was a great surprise, and it was so good to catch up and to meet her hubby.

Saturday, we had some cake for both of us birthday girls at my parent’s house.  There were way too many candles on my cake though!

Knoebels

This past Saturday Violet and I with Rachel and my mom went to Knoebels one last time before they closed for the year.  We had been given some free passes, so we were happy to use them up!  We spent all afternoon and into the evening there, getting the most out of it as possible.   Violet loves riding the rides there and was so happy to be getting on one right after another.

She was a great driver!
