Early September


Asa enjoying the giant bear Daddy got him for his 3rd birthday.


We were heading out on a neighborhood walk as a family


Eli enjoyed watching the ducks on our walk.


Asa and Greta waiting for Eli to get home from school.


The boys were so happy they found a toad!


Eli had a special lunch with Daddy


Eli is loving school. He drew a picture of his teacher and gave it to her this past week.


Eli and Asa working on some stamp art. Eli will "play school" with Asa for hours at home. I love to listen in to what they are playing. The other day I heard them playing in their play fort in the basement. Eli said to Asa, "Do you know God made everything? And it is good? Do you know your letters? Do you know your numbers?" It was fun to hear what he is learning in school through his play. He would then say to Asa time for snack time, time for recess, time for rest time. It is so fun to see them pretending together. 


Sweet Greta hanging out.


Yesterday Auntie Karen and Auntie Kristi came over and watched the kids for us to we could go out on a lunch date. The kids were excited to have time with their aunties!



Eli's teacher Miss Byron took these pictures of Eli and us during his open house before school started.


Greta enjoys feeding herself. Here she is eating a spaghetti meal and loving it!


Asa showing me that he is now three! He is wearing his new spiderman sweatshirt


Asa and I made some fun sand castles together





Greta enjoying her bubble bath



Poor Greta. The other day I stepped out of the room and returned momentarily to find Asa putting stickers on her face! I thought it was kind of funny, though Greta did not agree with me.


Most of the time he is nice to her.


Eli loves to play with Greta too.


While Eli was at school, I took the younger two for a walk. They are so cute.



Asa and I playing his Paw Patrol memory game







Eli drew a picture of the family





We had a fun afternoon at Elm Creek Park last Wednesday


Cute picture of Asa


Happy Greta





Look no hands! Greta just turned 9 months and has learned to stand up by herself!












Asa said he was looking at the clouds













I love Greta's smile!


Eli's teacher gave us some pictures of him at school. He is the one in the red shirt.


He is sitting in the back in the red shirt. He said they were having snack and he was sitting next to the pretty girl he likes. Oh dear. 



Last week they learned about the letter A and the number 1. 


His teacher told me she loves having Eli in her class, she said he is a sweet and goofy boy. That is true!

Greta is 9 Months Old!

Greta is already 9 months old! She is pulling herself up to standing onto anything she can get her hands on. She loves to feed herself and play with her brothers. Greta enjoys playing peek-a-boo and swinging on the baby swing in our backyard. She our sweetheart. Nana gave Greta this beautiful dress, I love it on her. 

We took Greta in for her 9 month well child doctor visit. She weighs 16 pounds 12 ounces, which put her in the 24th percentile. She is 28 inches tall, which puts her in the 59th percentile. She is a healthy baby girl!






Around the House

Here are some pictures Brian took of the kids.





Brian captured some fun pictures of the kids taking a bubble bath!







Brian took this picture of me while we were hanging out in the backyard the other night.


Brian took some sweet pictures of Greta wearing an outfit I wore as a baby.




Happy Asa!
