At the lake

Since I'm probably never going to go backwards and catch this blog up..... May as well start over where we are: Memorial Day weekend 2014!

We are having big adventures in Minnesota.  Meeting baby Olive for the first time, seeing the Walter family cabin, swimming, eating and playing with cousins!

Meeting Family

A lot of special people have come to Iowa to meet Emma!

Welcome Home Emma!

leaving the hospital

I couldn't wait to get her out of that carseat and into my arms!

This one she is 5 days old (?) at her first wrestling practice.  She made a dirty diaper and got it changed in the gym at the new middle school!

Emma Renee's Second Day

Getting acquainted with her brothers

So I gave her a few slurps off a bottle while we were in the hospital...

it was interesting!  We prefer the breast around here!

 of course the occasion called for some new Lego's

such pretty hair

Just a little bit of joy!
