Remember When...

The last two weekends, we've had the pleasure of celebrating the marriages of some longtime family friends.

I decided to look through some photo's to remember some weddings of years past. Here is a walk down memory lane.

Trying to recap...

Due to computer issues, it's been difficult to keep up with the blog. I'm going to try and recap the holidays, so bear with me!

Lets start with a few pictures from Christmas Morning. Our first Christmas as a growing family...

Elise opening her first gift...

She really got into it...climbing on top was the most fun!

And don't forget to taste the paper!

Nora was a great big sis. She was patient and took turns opening with Elise!

~LEAVES~

Nora "helped" Tim rake leaves this week. She did little raking, but she did enjoy playing in the 2 huge piles!

I love her beaming smile!

Tim taking a rest after a few hours of yard work. Thanks Babe!

Seasons

"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each." ~ Thoreau

I love Autumn. It's only the beginning, but we were able to get out and enjoy a childhood favorite of mine, the West Lampeter Fair!

Poppy & Elise enjoying the Fair

Sweet Elise, I love her smile!

Nora and Daddy waiting to make Nora's own Jump Rope!!

Here's Nora making the jump rope, with Daddy's help.

Elise chilling after her bath...ready for bed now.

Soon to come, our visit with Grandma Hinshaw and Gettysburg...

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

Here's Nora making cards for Dan, Amy and Emma

Elise is sitting nearby in her Bumbo...

She's growing up fast...

I'll post some pics of her along with some pics of me as a baby...she looks like I did!!

Here's Nora meeting baby Emma for the first time

Here we are at the pool! Thanks to Gram for getting us a pool pass...

Elise is fast asleep...

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

This year, she's tall enough to stand in the "big pool"!!!
She's very brave!!! Walking all by herself!I think she'll be swimming by the end of the summer!

Here's Elise...she found her thumb!!
