Helping out Shadow

The girls are such a help around the house. Here they helped me fill up Shadow's food container to feed her. I can't wait til they do all my chores for me.

Cozy Nook Farms-1

Last weekend we went to Cozy Nook Farms for a hayride and to get some pumpkins.





The girls and grandma got to feed some heifers. Not sure if Katie or Grandma had more fun feeding the heifers. That is such a fun word to say, heifer, heifer, heifer.

Smores

The girls enjoying some indoor made smores this week.

Bathing Shadow

On Sunday the girls (mostly Katie) and I gave Shadow a bath outside after her haircut. Katie really liked it, Shadow not so much and Chloe just watched from a safe distance.

Silly socks

Sunday night the girls decided to play with my new socks. Enjoy.

Strawberries v. Nap

Chloe is trying to stay awake long enough to eat her strawberries. Katie mean while decides to sing a song from Winnie the Pooh (the rain came down and flooded Piglets house)

Thanks again Grandma

Weekend with Grandma

Ashley and I went to Madison this past weekend and grandma watched the girls. They spent a lot of time outdoors playing. The girls even helped our neighbors plant their garden.

more fun with cardboard boxes

We recently got new car seats for Katie. The girls seem to have more fun with the cardboard boxes then any other toys they have. Enjoy.

Future nurses?

The girls taking care of little baby. Maybe they have a future in the medical field.

Cardboard box fun

How Katie and Chloe like to enjoy a good Packer win.

Boxes of Fun

People are starting to ask about Chloe's first birthday party, and I'm having a hard time coming up with a wish list of gifts. After all, who needs gifts when the simplest things give the most fun?

Go Pack Go

The girls were sporting colors on Sunday in anticipation for the big game. Chloe was especially excited about the game or duckie.

Merry Christmas from the Girls!

Chloe (10 months) is a super crawler and pulls up on furniture. She recently started eating chunks of "big girl" food as well as her purees. Her favorite part of Christmas was playing with the gift bags.



Katie (2 and 1/2) has started being a very involved big sister. When Chloe cries, Katie will bring her a toy. This Christmas, Katie enjoyed decorating cookies and eating frosting. She also had fun at the indoor waterpark with Omi and Granddaddy.

Chloe's Birth Story (I'm published!)

I've been meaning to write a birth account of Chloe, but that kept getting put off. When Amy from The Finer Things in Life requested guest posts on VBACs, I offered to write one since I wanted to put our experience with Chloe into words. So without further ado...Chloe's Birth Story!

A VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) was our delivery desire for Child #2. In a world where medical malpractice suits are prevalent, my OB was hesitant but on board with our VBAC preference.
