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.

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

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.
