New Friend
Here’s Violet with one of her new friends, Autumn. Her mom, Gwennie, and I have been friends since we were little girls like these two are now. So it’s neat to see our little girls now playing together.

Our sweet baby girl turned eleven months old today! I can’t believe it’s only one more month until she’s officially a year old! She is one happy baby. Yes, she may have her very high pitched squeals often, ok very often, but I think they are happy squeals. Well, most of the time. Her bottom tooth is through and growing and now her top tooth on the same side is just about out. She will have one interesting smile soon. She can repeat after me and say either mama or dada. She likes to clap and is very ticklish. Crawling is her main form of transportation unless she is hanging on to a nearby chair or couch. It seems like she could start walking any day now. And she definitely has her mommies curls. We love this little one to pieces and are so thankful for her.

Last week, Katrina’s side of the family, took their week long biannual vacation in Amish country. We have missed going and getting to see family for the last two years, so this year it was so nice to be able to be there with everyone. We were one of the few families who stayed the whole week. Some families just come for a day or two or three. It was very relaxing and filled with lots of laughter, singing, good food and interesting conversations.
