Time After Time...

Summer just started and it feels like it's already half over! We had a great time last weekend seeing our family! Many congratulations to our cousin Ben on his marriage! It was great to see all our cousins and extended family ~ thank you for the wonderful time!

Here are some pictures of Keller. He has most recently found his thumb and it couldn't be cuter!

Our First Baseball Game...

On June 9th we went to St. Louis with Grandma and Grandpa for our first Cardinals game of the season! Keller was dressed and ready to go! We had a wonderful time and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!

Learning new things...

Now that I am back at work I have less time to update all our family and friends...but I want to make sure we keep you in the loop!

A lot is going on. Summer is fully upon us and we can't believe it! June is wedding time, July is the midst of Steve's internship, August holds a little bit of relaxation and September is our two year anniversary. We are learning that time flies and we should make the most of it!

Keller is doing great! He is such a blessing to our lives. He is six weeks old this week and 13.5 lbs. He is a chunk and a cute one at that! He has learned to roll over from his back to his front and is sticking out his tongue and blowing spit bubbles! It is all the little things that amaze us!

Thanks for stopping by!

One Month...

It's been one month since Keller joined us! We can't believe it has already been a month and that he has grown so much!

Aunt Laura

My sister Laura stopped by on her way to Arizona. We ate at the Amtrak station and took some pictures with Keller. It was so funny because Keller kept making really funny faces but wouldn't just relax for that "perfect photo"... Enjoy!

"Look at me sticking out my tongue."
"Ooo...what's over there?"

"Aunt Laura, You are squishing me"

"See, I cry when you squish me"

"Fine, I'll sit still but I won't look at you"

The Time Has Come...

The time has come for Mom to return to work. Keller will be 5 weeks old on my first day back full time. I will miss him so much but I know that he and Dad will have a great time at home together! They have had two practice runs by themselves and both were full of smiles when I returned home! I hope they take lots of pictures while I am gone during the day!

The Joy of Friends...

If there is anything about parenthood that is especially scary it is the thought of not having time with the friends that you have held dear for the last several years! Thankfully for us we have friends that are AMAZING and we have so much fun with them!
