Back in July we took what has become our annual Longest Family Vacation to the cottage! We had so much fun. It is always such a relaxing and fun week for the entire family. Playing in the water, boating, running, tubing, wakeboarding, etc, etc. I had a very hard time picking out the pictures to post, so I have posted A LOT!! Enjoy! SMORES! Sleeping in a big girl bed! Playing in the water Enjoying a snack Playing Hide and Seek Driving the boat with daddy Time to wakeboard Tubing! Daddy caught a turtle! Watching it swim away! More Wakeboarding! Fishing time! Sisterly Love Swimming with Mommy
My girls, Nora and Gretchen, are the light in my life! They bring me so much happiness everyday. Now I am not saying that it has always been easy, Gretchen graced us with colic that started when she was 2 weeks old and ended when she was 8 weeks old, she only wanted mommy and never wanted daddy, that gets very tiring after awhile! Now she is such a joy to be around. Her smile is contagious! Nora is my stubborn 3 1/2 year old. Matt says she gets her stubborness from her mommy...maybe that's true:)! She is trying to branch out on her own and be little miss independent. I think when they named it the terrible 2's they haden't met my 3 year old yet...2 was easy compared to 3!! Nevertheless, I LOVE my girls!! They are the greatest! Here are some pictures of them loving each other!!
Before we did the "Tour De Donut" 10 mile bike race in September, we took the girls for a 9 mile bike ride down the Fred Meijer Heartland trail. We rode from Sidney to Stanton and back! The girls did relatively well. We did have to stop and take off Gretchen's bike helmet, then she fell asleep and did great the rest of the way! The bike trailer we bought (for only $100 I might add!) has been so wonderful! We are going to have many fun and happy memories using this!! Can't wait until next spring so we can load the girls up in this again! Gretchen excited for the bike ride! Matt getting things in order Our bikes Nora helping daddy get the trailer on the bike All ready to go!
