August 2014

Wow, August was such a fast month but when I sat down to blog about it, I realized that we took hardly any pictures!  We started the month off down in Dallas, then we celebrated our anniversary.  The Willard Pool was a favorite spot.  We have been to the lake a couple of times this month and we had our fantasy drafts (all three of them).  We also had a going away party for one of Ben's colleagues and went to a Springfield Cardinals game with my family.  As noted before Kathryn also started school.  Here are our couple of pictures.

Kathryn's 1st Day

Today was Kathryn's first day of school.  She was so excited but once we got to school she seemed a little shell-shocked.  After school she was all smiles and reported lots of fun things about the day.  However, she sure was tired!  Here are some pictures to document the day:

July 2014

I always say that March or May are my favorite months but I think I should reconsider.  July is pretty phenomenal.  I get to be at home with my babies and we always take a long vacation up north which means more time with Ben as well.

This month was so full.  Each day that I was off work, the kids and I did something fun.  We went to the library, swimming pool, had playdates, and went to Rutledge Wilson farm.  We celebrated Ben's 34th birthday and enjoyed fireworks.  In the middle of the month we drove up to Michigan and enjoyed seeing Ben's friends at a wedding.  We also went to Mackinac island and enjoyed Cable Lake and spending lots of time with Grammie and Gramps.  Apparently it was the month for friends because we stopped by Milwaukee on the way home to see one of Ben's former colleagues and then headed to Dallas at the very end of the month to stay with friends and have a mini-OSU reunion.

So proud of the card she made.

It was freezing the first day at Cable but the kids still wanted to wade.
