Where has the time gone? I realized it has been a very looooong time since I last posted. Just wanted to let you all know, we're doing great! We are settling nicely into our cozy house and as you can see our boys are getting bigger and bigger. Ben is nearly 2 1/2 he is full of energy and his vocaublary is changing every day. He follows his big brother Micah wherever he goes and loves to play with little brother Caleb. Caleb is 8 1/2 months old now. He sits up, rolls over, scoots back, reaches for almost anything. He smiles and coos and sometimes is able to get a word in edge wise even though he is the youngest. Of the two, I think he will be my shy boy because he does not always smile when a stranger comes up to him (unlike the older two). Caleb is very even tempered and is a wonderfully mello boy. When he fusses, you know something is just not right. Micah is nearly 4. He is a sponge these days. Picking up new words. Asking lots of questions. He loves to work on his preschool book in the afternoons with me. He of course loves it when company is coming and better yet if they are going to stay over night.

Tim and I are doing well. I just had a Tupperware party here at my house. It was a lot of fun having people over to my new house and to entertain. Not to mention the free Tupperware coming my way. Fun, fun! Tim's job is going well. Thankfully, he has not had to travel out of the country since his other job. Yeah for us! Happy Fall (er maybe winter for those of us experiencing a "winter wonderland").

Blessings,
Krista and family

Summer Fun

Ben and Alise basking in the sun. Ben insisted that Alise put her feet in a particular way as seen in this picture. Again, he enjoys feet!

Micah's first time tubing behind Grandpa's boat.

The Conley cousins (Deb, Krista, Brenda, Anita and Carolyn)!
I went to my cousin's wedding in Duluth and my sister was able to make it all the way from Chicago. In fact, her daughter Natalie was a darling flower girl in the wedding. I'm sure you can check her blog for pictures. :)
My sweet Caleb with Grandpa Godt. He is already 6 months old!
Grandpa with his grandkids. He sure knows how to put a smile on their faces.

My sister's kids (Alise, Emily and Luke) getting ready to have a rhubarb eating contest. Yuk!
Natalie giving Ben a ride around the yard.

Beautiful Feet

Cousin Barb and family were over for dinner one evening. She had just come back from Brazil where they give wonderful pedicures (for a decent price too)! Our Ben was quite taken with her beautiful feet. He could not stop looking at them and touching the designs on her toes. Hmmm, it seems like mommy should paint her toes more often. I might have to teach him how to do pedicures on MY feet someday. What a silly boy!

Family Picture at Noerenberg Park

On July 3rd we had our picture taken at Noerenberg Garden Park in Minnetonka. Our friend Amanda was the lady behind the camera. She captured some great pictures not only of us, but of Tim's whole family. Here's one of our favorites.

Happy 4th Birthday MICAH!

To a boy who loves to look at books and have them read to him

And to a boy who loves to fish
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICAH MAN, YOU ARE THE BEST KID ANY PARENT COULD ASK FOR.
You are a blessing and treasure to our family. We love you!
