Pictures that I love of my little girl

first time in a highchair at a restaurant

Getting so big

She is getting so big. She decided about two weeks ago that she is tired of laying, she wants to sit up now. And now she is sitting by herself, the bobbie is for safe keeping. It is crazy how fast she is growing.

Finally all here

Well we have been waiting for about 2 years but it has finally happened. Al and Sue moved to Indy!! It all worked out great. The house sold, Al is still at his job just doing it here, Sue is looking for a job which is never hard for her, and they are living with us and trying to decide where they want to live here or Lafayette. We are voting for here but there is something to say for smaller towns, we are just happy they are in the same state.
Kris interviewed for a new position at work and we are praying he gets it. The new merger with his company has been a great blessing, the insurance is awesome!
I asked not to be the assistant director and to go back into the classrooms again so I am now the Kindergarten teacher. I have done it for about 6 weeks now I think and I love it.
I think I have covered almost everything we have missed in the last two months. We will keep it current from now on... or least try :-)

My baby is growing so fast

Addy is five months old now. Can you believe it! We can't. She is growing so fast, chewing on everything but no teeth yet, eating ceral, and holding her bottle if you have her titled just right in your arms and she loves her puppy. You can't leave her anywhere b/c she can scoot on herself anywhere laying down as she proved last night scooting from the end of the couch with mommy to the chair with Nana then past to the puppy by the end table. She loves to screech when she is happy and smiles so much. She is such a blessing to us.

Mark and Nikki

Mark and Nikki got married on June 30th, 2007 at Vineyard Community Church. Kris performed the wedding. The weekend before we had Nikki's bridal shower at the house and the guys took Mark to Kings Island for his bachelor party. The wedding, the reception, and cook-out went great. Kris is still talking about how great the steak was :-) I will download the pictures of the wedding later.

Jason and Ellen

Jason and Ellen stopped to visit us going to Rapid and coming back. On thier way back, we all went over to the Kiels for fried chicken dinner and to play board games. It ended up being a really great night and the girls beat the boys in Battle of the Sexes. It was wonderful and we haven't stayed out that late since before Addy, amazing how 12:30 is late after a baby. We wish Jason and Ellen lived closer, they are so much fun to hang out with.

Al, Sue, Jason and Ellen

Robby and Johanna welcomed Asher Ezekial Hieser into the world on May 25 2007 in the afternoon. Johanna had a natural childbirth with no drugs, way to go Jo!
