Over the river

and through the woods, we are back from our first trip to Grammy and Grandpa's house. 

They were excellent travelers.

We stopped for a stretch break and snack in Iowa and they both hated the grass.

 We had a family reunion,

met Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Higg

He hated wearing hats!

met Great Grandma Moore,

celebrated the fourth with our cousins, aunts and uncles,

played in the splash pad,

and with Grandpa, Grammy and Bella,

took tons of wagon rides in our early b-day present,

 "rode" the tractors with Grandpa,





(this was more our size)

and babysat cousin Karrigan.

10 months old

We were in Iowa for our 10 month photos.  Our cousin Isabella was helping.  She was getting the balls to help keep our attention.  Thank you Bella!

Christian is walking if he's holding on to something.  He loves Bella's dino walker. 

 Julianna is really fast with the army crawl but still only rocking on hands and knees.  She is sitting up from her tummy.  She does the splits and walks her hands back, too cute!

Happy Father's Day

Father's Day was also Baptism Sunday at our church in Iowa.  

We were baptized with our newest cousin, Karrigan. Thank you Jenn for the GREAT pictures!

We got together for a family picture after church.

We tried to get a picture with both cousins when we got back to Grammy's,

of course Christian didn't want to sit still.

Julianna now barks when she hears the dogs.  It's so cute! 

Christian's new favorite game.

And so it is...

summer vacation! 

Lots of play time

and puzzle time

and story time

and puppy time.

We started summer with our 9 month check up.  Both babies are GREAT and are growing so fast!  Julianna was 17 lbs, 10 oz and 27 1/2 inches long.  They are both in size 3 diapers now and mostly wearing
12 month outfits.

Got the army crawl down!

Christian was 19lbs, 12 oz and 28 1/2 inches long. 

Standing up on everything!

Top two teeth, finally!
