Catch Up

We have done LOTS of fun things during this last part of summer that I haven't posted pictures of yet, so here they are....

1. Trip to Chicago (end of July). The friends we made there became our family while we were in Chicago and it was so good to see them. Friends like these only come along once in a lifetime. We miss you all SO much!
All the girls - Tiffany, Stephanie, me, and Joy

3. COLE'S 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!! Unfortuantely all the pictures we have of the day are not very good, but for her birthday we got some professional pictures taken (first time ever) so I'll have some good one's to post soon. We feel so blessed to have Cole in our family. She is such a sweet, friendly, and outgoing little girl. I don' t know how Chad and I produced a child that likes to talk so much :). We love her SO much and can't wait for lots more birthdays!We asked Cole what she wanted for her birthday and she said, "swimming with daddy"...SO CUTE.Opening presents...More opening presents....Snuggling her new baby and her dadPlaying with the new kitchen that Nana and Opa sentCole's cousins came over to wish her happy birthday and she had so much fun!Cole being very unimpressed with her pink cupcake.

I had a feeling there was going to be a baby message in there - congratulations! A boy will be such a fun addition. I think that is the perfect space in between them as well! Yea for you! Love!
