Fair Festivities

Last week was the Lenawee County Fair. I really enjoy the fair every year! Even though you may pay $7 for a polish sausage and $3 for a lemonade...nothing beats fair food!

Annie got to do a lot. She rode a pony, pet a cow, held a cat, and rode a ton of rides! She enjoyed sugar and cinnamon coated almonds and cotton candy! Enjoy our pics!

Family Fun with Kovlaks

The week Josh went on the missions trip with the teens I spent with the Kovlak side of the family. I have lots of pics from my time with Karen and Jen, but forgot to take pics when I was at my mom's. She is always taking pics so I need to get some from her to post.

Monthly Milestones-2mos

This month Gabby really started cooing, grunting, and smiling to get people's attention. She seems to hold a conversation with you. When talking to me she makes movements toward me like she wants me to pick her up.

At her 2 month appointment she weighed 12 lbs 14 oz and was in the 80% for weight. She was 24 1/2 inches long which puts her in the 95% for height. Annie measured real big too as a baby, but now as evened out, so I am guessing Gabby will too!

On July 4th she slept from 12am - 7:15 am! She was on a 3 hour eat, awake, sleep schedule. She is drinking 4oz every 3 hours.

I started putting her in her play gym to get tummy time and learn how to use her arms and legs. 

She continues to be an EXCELLENT traveler. We drove to Duck, North Carolina and Indian Lake, NY for family vacations and Detroit and Cederville to visit friends.

Family Fun with the Wilsons

After the lake, Josh had VBS at the church so Annie and I decided to stay in PA for the week and visit with the Wilsons. We had such a great time. We spent every day that we could at the pool which is literally right behind their backyard! I had a ton of fun with my sister-in-law putting together a 1,000 piece Twilight Eclipse puzzles! We made many fun memories together!

I was also able to get together with a few close friends. I was so happy to introduce them to Gabby. Some of them had not seen Annabelle since she was a baby!

Forever Friends

My college friend, Jen, is one of my dearest friends! It was such a joy to be prego with her and now to have kids that are 4 weeks apart! We joke that someday they will be prom dates, so we will see!

When Josh went to Bangladesh for 6 months his roommate, Andrew, became one of his life long friends! Andrew comes once a year to take classes at Cedarville University and we always try to make it down there to see them. This time we were able to meet his wife! Esther and I got a long very well and went shopping for a couple of hours. I think I even got her into Vera Bradley! She bought her first purse with me!
