While we were spending time in Fort Wayne with our family, we took advantage of a nice breezy day to fly kites. The boys enjoyed it...but I think Aunt Jan enjoyed it the most :)
We also had a chance to see Allison at her soccer practice. A little rain never hurt anyone. In fact, it made for some cute pictures. I think Allison liked having her very own, and rather loud I might add, cheering section.
Ahhh, maybe when the boys are older family pictures will be worthy of a frame. Until then I guess it is best to just enjoy little kids being little kids. I did take a mental note though, asking Wes to say pretty much anything to pose for a picture is not always a good idea. :)
Nathan, who is 4 now, is trying to see if this boot will fit. I think he still has a ways to go, even with his current growth spurt. He has been into playing pretend, riding his bike, helping with projects outdoors, and trying to touch the bottom of any pool he is in. :)
Cowgirl Becca--how adorable!
Here are some pictures from our time with my sister Marti, her husband Paul, and their daughter Becca. We had a really great vacation together in St. Louis!
The Kupferer clan at the St. Louis Zoo
The Science Museum was a very anticipated spot for Nathan. He was really looking forward to using the radar guns. And Wes and his baby had a great time watching the traffic zoom by through the windows on the floor of the bridge.
Beautiful Becca
Mike, Nathan, and Wes on the train at the St. Louis Zoo.
Grammy, this one's for you. My mom worked as a bank teller, so we had to get a shot of her three youngest grandkids playing banker at the St. Louis children's museum.
The whole gang
This was really cool-- there was a mini wall that you could make imprints on. This was Nathan.
And that brings us back to this past week. After cleaning out the shed and coming across our tent, we were kindly reminded by a certain 4 year old that we had promised to camp out in our backyard one night. I am really glad we did. It made for a very special and memorable night. It was by no means a regular bedtime night- you can hear the announcing from the baseball fields in our backyard and the game lasted until 11:20pm-- but it was very much worth it. And yes, for all those who may be wondering, even me at 33 weeks into a pregnancy made it the whole night in a tent.
Ahh, one month in review. It was a busy month- a very good month in a lot of ways. Mike has been home as he continues his job search. That has been wonderful for our family; I'm not sure the boys will know what to do when he heads back to work. (or me for that matter) As we look to the next month with the baby's arrival we continue to ask that you would keep our family in your prayers. As usual, we are not lacking on things happening :)
