Busy Summer Days

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I posted. We left June 17 for Idaho, to visit my brother and his family, and were there for 11 days. Then, when we came home, my internet service was messed up, and they didn't get it fixed until this week. In the middle of all that, we had my mom and dad here for three days, and we've had revival! Busy, busy! I'm going to post as much as I can without totally overloading...hopefully I'll get caught up soon.

On June 14, we celebrated Brian's parent's 40th wedding anniversary. They had a vow renewal ceremony. Brian, his brother, Tim, and Bob and Marlene's pastor, Bro. Mark Wagner, all had a part in the service. Our nephews, Beau and Judson, were the Jr. groomsemen, and Halle was the "flower girl". My sister-in-law played the violin and I played the piano. Bob's brother, Bill, was the best man and Marlene's sister, Red, was the matron of honor. We had a wonderful day. It was very sweet and special, as we looked back at God's faithfulness to Bob and Marlene and our entire family.

Before the ceremony started, we did family pictures. Halle was very sleepy, so as you can see, she wasn't very happy for some of these. Oh well, she was happy most of the day!

This is our little "flower girl"

The flowers didn't last very long!

May Days

This is Halle at church with our friend, Beth. Beth bought her this adorable outfit, and bought one to match for Ellie, Halle's nursery buddy.

My little long-legged girl loves to chew on her feet.

Nathan wore his sailor outfit too, so I was trying to get pictures of the three of them together.

Halle was really enjoying Nathan....Ellie was just taking it easy!

Halle loves Nathan, and he loves her back....can't you tell?

Halle and Grampee on Memorial Day. Gramee bought Halle this outfit and a patriotic headband to match.
At the Memorial Day parade in Saxonburg.
"Is it really going to rain on my parade?"
"Yep!"

She's a flag-waving American! I took these on a Sunday morning. This outfit was gift from our friends, the Creed's. She was being such a little doll. It was hard to stop taking pictures. I almost made us late for church!

My silly girl.

Halle LOVES her swing in the backyard. This was her first time to try it.

This is fun!
"What are you doing, Mom?"
"I'm not ornery at all."

Funny face.
This outfit is a gift from our friends, the Martenn's. Can you tell that Halle has lots of friends, and even more clothes?!



Daddy feeding Halle some applesauce.

Halle's bonnet Gramee bought her. She liked the strings a lot. Halle likes her yogurt!!!
Halle is growing so fast and doing so many new things! She changes almost daily. At her last checkup, she weighed 15 lbs., 12 oz., and was 27 inches long. She waves now, says da-da, ma-ma, bah-bah, guy, and many more sounds. She can give you five, and daddy taught her to "headbutt". She is sitting up fairly well on her own. She now has four teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. She loves see-saw and pattycake. She also loves music. She's really getting quite a personality. She is very silly, and gets really funny at night when she's sleepy. She laughs at everything. She also has quite a temper, and lets you know when she doesn't like something. She's a very pleasant baby, and so much fun!!! I have loads more pictures just from the last week, and I'll try to post more soon. Thanks for stopping by.
