Family

This past weekend we went to my parents to spend some time with the Harms side of the family. My cousin and his wife just had a baby and my aunt from Kansas came to meet the babies. We had a great time!

Parties, Boating, Races

Our computer decided to act up a few weeks ago, so we've been trying to get it to cooperate with us again! We finally have it kind of working, so I figured I better get caught up!

A couple of weeks ago we got to spend the weekend in Iowa City visiting friends. Our good friend Steve finished his PhD, so his family had a party for him that we attended. It was great to see them!

We also had some friends in Newton over one night, and they have a little girl, Loren, who is just a couple of weeks older than Mady. This is them "playing" together!
Loren and Mady also got to hang out for a while this past week while their daddies played softball. They were a riot! They were baby screaming back and forth to each other, playing with each other's feet, etc. It was so funny!

My sister got tickets to one of the races in Newton a few weeks ago, so my sister, brother, and Dad went to the race on Saturday. On Sunday my sister, brother, and I went to the race. It was fun...definitely better than I thought it would be!

Happy 4th of July



We had a great weekend celebrating the 4th of July. Eric had the weekend off, which was a nice treat. I worked in Iowa City on Saturday, so Eric and Madelyn spent some time with Eric's family and got to go to Madelyn's first fireworks.

Sunday we had some friends over for a barbeque and were hoping to see fireworks, but they were rained out.

Monday we spent the day at my parents and had lunch with my family and grandparents.


Our family. Aren't we patriotic?!

Isn't she so cute in her dress? Thanks Aunt Amanda!

Touring Newton

Madelyn and I have been taking lots of walks around Newton lately. She really seems to enjoy being outside and it's good to get out of the house and out and about. Here are a couple of recent pictures.
