We had a fun week last week helping out some friends. All the while Daddy had a quick work trip in Cali.
Sally rocking her kicks at swimming
Libby has improved a crazy amount! This last weekend she swam from the wall to the platform on her own with her face under!!
Emma was excited to be back home and at her park
She missed her Baby Em. Luckily we got to take care of her last Tuesday morning
Daddy's view in Cali
Sally got in as many snuggles and she could before having to catch the bus. You can clearly see the C-Mile sisters are not excited AT ALL about adding another sib...
She's a pro
Libby got to feed her a bottle before we headed to Tuesday morning group and I confused everyone by walking in with a baby. No worries, we still have 17 weeks, give or take
Emma wanted to help too
Baby Hog!
Then Wednesday Aubrey got to come and hang with us. We had no fun at all :)
Thursday Pearl got to hang with us, I did't get any pictures because she pretty much napped the whole time!
Matching sisters!
Dr. Libby, ready for your check-up
Some days it's hot and some days it's cold. We love warming up by the fireplace!
Playing some tunes
Gopher Girls reading some stories
A quick video of the sister rooms...Emma's in the back shouting color, because clearly the sisters need more signs to hang on the wall....
Playing Dinosaurs with Daddy
The Martinson Ladies came to hang out on Saturday so Mr. Martinson could start on the floor in their kitchen. And then we all had dinner and hung out. It was a lovely day!! So excited for many more! The Bigs enjoying a treat of a show so the parents could enjoy their steak!
Sunday Funday! Loving the sunshine
So glad I was finally able to capture Godzilla on tape...
We had a wonderful few days in Grinnell, Iowa with the Lindberg Family. Crazy to think we started to become friends when Sally and Lucy were just 3 months old!!
Happy 40th Birthday to Brad {October 13th!}
Another great family, opening their home to us with wonderful generosity, food and hospitality. We had a great time, Thank you Thank you!
We arrived just in time for welcoming the girls home from school!
A little Dance Party after Dinner!
Bedtime Bible Stories brought to you by Brad
The next day we headed up to the college track and did some relays. The first was the girls against Mary
And then the Dads
LJ coming in hot on the final stretch
Waving to the train going by
and then they headed to Uncle Bill's Farm and had an awesome time. It started with a Magic Show. The magician wanted Libby was a volunteer, but she kindly declined. Sally and Lucy each got a turn
and then a little ride
Mooooooo
and a train ride
and corn pit fun
Burying Libby
Making sure to get the corn out of her ear
TaDa
Emma was finally brave enough to join. Sisters are always there to help
It's tough to walk, almost like quick sand
And then a hayride
The Bigs and Annie and the Dads braved the corn maze
While the others did the corn maze we took another hayride. Caught this precious moment of hand holding
Time to feed the chickens
and the goats
Creating their own ride
Our 3 little pumpkins and one still growing
Allllll the little ladies! Such a great weekend! Thank you!
We woke up, packed up at headed to Mass before hitting our final stretch home. We made it just in time to run off with the Bigs to their swimming lessons.
and of course we were gone for a week and left no groceries so we quickly ran to pick up pizza and see the end of the Ryder cup and all of the traffic.
It was a wonderful week away, but it's always good to be home and back in a routine!
