Happy Anniversary!

Today is Eric and I's 4th wedding anniversary!! Crazy how fast 4 years have gone! Hopefully we can get out and celebrate tonight, but Eric's got football practice (yeah, in July?!) tonight, so it might have to be postponed until the weekend.

I was in my friend Deanna's wedding last weekend, so here's a picture of the us from then.

4 years of marriage, and 4 month old baby girl :)

3 (and 1/2) Month pictures taken.. finally!

Today, we went over to Redfield and got Leah's 3 month pictures taken. Jordan Foster graduated this year from WCV, and takes pictures and does a great job with colors, black and whites, and backgrounds.. Here's a few of them!

3 month Photo Session at Grandma Gabe's

Well, back on June 24th (a day short of being 3 months old) Leah was out at Grandma Linn's and her friend Angie is a photographer, and they got some great pictures of Leah and Grandma. I put all of them on facebook but here are my favorites. Click here if you want to see all of them.

Back home..

We are finally back to Stuart after an extended stay up in Greene. We hadn't intended to stay for as long as we did, but hopefully we didn't outstay our welcome :) I know we didn't... my parents loved having us, but I'm sure its nice to have a quiet (and cleaner) house back.. :) We went home for River Days, then Eric was the bestman in Nick Landers wedding, and then we stayed through the 4th of July. We went to Minnesota for a couple days (Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Gabe for keeping Leah). We just went to Medford Mall and shopped (somehow Leah ended up with the most stuff!) and also went to Cabelas. Then Greene postponed fireworks (twice), so we ended up coming back yesterday. Today Eric reffed all day, and I unpacked everything and got the house back in order from being gone.
Leah is growing like crazy.. I got her Bumbo seat out today and she loves it-- she just looks around at everything!
So here are some pictures (A LOT!) from home and today..

Grandpa and Grandpa time...

Super impressed that my flowers grew really well while I was gone.. clearly, me tending to them everday vs. not tending to them at all for 3 weeks makes no difference.. who knew!?

Leah loving the bumbo... just hangin out.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We are spending the weekend in Greene with my family. Rachel and Tyler are also home and Rachel found a brownie recipe online, and they decorated it for the 4th.. so here's some pictures..They had just gotten back from a 23 mile bike ride (RAGBRAI preperation) and some pictures of Leah too... she's getting so good at holding her head up! :)

Neighborhood Baby Shower

My neighborhood in Greene has always had wedding showers and baby showers for all of us neighbor kids, and this past weekend, they had one for Leah and Connor. Connor is Eric and Kristi Columbus's baby boy- just a little over 1 week younger than Leah, so we had them together to make it a little easier for everyone to get together. We had a great time like we always do, and Leah got some great gifts! THanks Deb and Astrid (and Mom) for putting it all together!!

All the great gifts!

3 months old.. a few days late!

I'm clearly in the mood to update the blog since huh? :) Anyways, Leah turned 3 months old on June 25th! Crazy how time flies. Things she can do: continue to sleep through the night! Yay! Last night she slept from 10:30-9:00 this morning! She loves to have someone talk to her and she smiles and laughs all the time. She likes to talk in her own little babbling language. She loves her playmat and her bouncy seat and tries to kick her way out of it. She's getting very good at holding her head up for long periods of time (especially to stare at a TV..little stinker) She's ALMOST rolling over.. but still working on it. She also went to her first parade during River Days and Mommy forgot her camera... oopsy. Here are some pics:
