Friends + Fair + Buffaloes = Fun and Chaos


We are so thankful for the friends and family that God has blessed us with! This past weekend we got to spend time with our dear friends, the Lindemanns. God blessed us when we lived in Iowa City by giving us these friends. They were some of the first people we met when we started attending our church there. We got to hang out the Iowa State Fair (a first for them!) and visit the Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City. This included watching the herd of buffalo cross the road right in front of and behind us. It was pretty cool!
Oh, and Madelyn had her six month birthday while they were here!


Here's our cutie, all dressed up to go to Daddy's 10 year class reunion on her six month birthday!
She's sitting up pretty well these days!

I'm six months old!


This was our poor attempt at a picture of all the kiddos with Madelyn's cake. As you can tell, it didn't go so well! Poor Greta is trying to keep Madelyn under control, Grace has Elias, Elias and Madelyn are crying at each other, and Zeke has watch over the cake! We tried a few more pictures, but it all went downhill from here!

Daddy and Madelyn at the prairie museum. Look at her little sprout on her head!

This is a better picture of four of the five kiddos. Elias was sleeping!


Watching baby chicks hatch at the state fair. They also got to see twin lambs being born. I think they were pretty impressed!


Petting the calves


Greta's showing off the girls' accommodations for the night!

We loved having them visit!

  1. What a big girl Mady is getting to be! I love the pony tail. She is doing really good sitting up already. Crawling next?!? And I like the food post too!
