Knoebels

We had the opportunity to hang out with the Eckels at Knoebel's last Friday!

Here are a few of my favorite pics. We all took a ride on the Tea Cups. I loved hearing the girls giggle!

Farm Show 2010

This year, we went early in the day. We left Elise at home and had blast with just Nora. She was able to do all the kids activities and take her time looking at the animals. Later in the day, we met up with our friends, Dan, Amy and baby Emma. Here's some pics of the day...we were there from 1:30 till 9:00!!!

Our FIRST stop, Milkshake!

Daddy's favorite, Mozzarella squares

THE best chocolate milkshakes EVER

Nora loved playing in the kids area!

She would have been content to stay here all day!

May

May was another exciting month for us! Elise continues to grow and gain weight...she has an appointment on the 15th, so we'll see how big she is then! Nora is a great big sister, she's usually very gentle and loving with her!

Here's some pictures of what we've been up to this past month...

I took some pictures of Dan and Amy before the baby comes!

These are some of my favorites

I really like this one...so sweet.

Then Tim and I headed off to a B&B for one night...we could have stayed much longer!!

While we were there, Amy was going through the WORST labor and delivery...I felt so bad for her! But, we were finally able to meet little Emma...so adorable!

Here we are at Tim's parents for Memorial Day weekend...Nora playing the harmonica...
Steve, Rachel, Tim and I went to Arts Fest...
Elise was there too...
As always, we had a great time with Steve and Rachel

Nora loves the water, here she is in the baby pool...

She's very brave!!! Walking all by herself!I think she'll be swimming by the end of the summer!
