And... Lake Erie...

So, I'm thinking that keeping our suitcases packed is the way to go. :) Last week, we went with Josh's whole family to Lake Erie for a super fun, super HOT trip. Quaint little cabins right on the lake- a pool, a playground, a boat- yeah, we're wondering why we came home, too!

How 'bout that view? Great photo opp...

Reese & Emma have found a new person to love on... and to use as a jungle gym! This is Mark's girlfriend Sarah. :)
Emma & Winnie- BFFs
Reese sat here in this swing about 60% of the trip- perfectly happy.
A very comical tube ride- yes, that's a tube meant for ONE, but who cares? Aunt Pat & Emma bonding on the boat
Daddy and Reese- boys who LOVE the water

Travelin Fools

Here's our little buddy, Eli Mires. Josh and I went out to Colorado for a conference for Josh's work and got to stay with our friends Jon and Whitney and their little punkin. He is totally hilarious- just about Reese's age. Sadly, this is about the only I picture I took from our entire trip. Hmm... when the kids aren't with me, I forget I have a camera!

Happy Birthday, Seth!

Another super fun trip to Iowa (all except the drive)... lots of yummy food, good times with family, and all the coolest outdoor toys a kid could want! Seth's Cars birthday party was so cute and Emma & Reese loved being there to celebrate. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Seth's new baby brother or sister in December!

"I wish I could eat this whole cookie..."
Man, is it hot out here.

I got Emma out of bed around 10 pm to experience her first sparkler!

One of the few moments of happiness for Reese in our car ride... yes, he has his binky.
We were desperate, ok?
