This post is one of the longest ones I can remember! When I look back through all these pictures, I can't believe how much fun we packed into this month. It has been a GREAT month and we are very blessed!
We had a fun play date with the Sharps! We got to see some of their airplanes and sit inside!
Then they came to our house.
We had a brunch with the Browns. It was the perfect day, and was so much fun to see everyone!
That night, we went to the Balloon Classic with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Carol! Then they spent the night!
We woke up the next morning to this sight!
Corn shuckin' time!
Fun at Grandma Joyce's!
Balloon watching #2 and Night Glow with the Nelsons!
My mom came up for a visit and to see the balloons for the first time. We decided to wake up early on Saturday and go chase them! It was so beautiful and we were so glad we did!
Then Jack picked this specific pose. He wanted a picture taken real quick before we left for the Farmer's Market! He is so my son!
Then we made a short stop at the Science Center!
And back to the Balloon Field for the 3rd night!

Quick favorite memories from the month:
-Jack, you've been obsessed with drumming! You do it about 30 minutes/day! You will drum on buckets, balls, and your drum. Papa bought you your own drum sticks! You tell us often that you aren't going to take a nap today, and that you are only going to sleep a little. You love going to the Y and wearing your 'exercise shoes' and socks. You help your little sister feel more comfortable. The second day there, you got her to stop crying by making her laugh with your funny faces. You two are so sweet to each other just when you need it! You love your football time with Daddy and will do anything to get more time. You are like a turtle crawling through molasses. That's how I explain how slow you have been at eating, getting ready to go, or picking up. Your stall tactics are getting better....one more drink...I have to go potty.....I need socks on...etc. before you fall asleep. Your taste buds are getting pickier but you continue to love pizza and mac n cheese. Everything else is forced. I love you Jackie! Or "Gack" as Hanna calls you!
-Hanna, you've been calling Uncle Pat 'Papa', and calling Tory and Laura 'Mama'. You continuously say, "Watch dis Mommy" or "Watch dis Daddy" before dancing, standing on top of something, or jumping off of something. You love your brother so much, but you continue to take whatever toy away that he is playing with! You get frustrated very easily if you can't get something just the way you want it. You will cry, throw your arms, run away from it, or just look at me with such desperation and frustration. You love your snuggles. Especially before bed. You will lay your head right on our chest as we sing you to sleep. You always say "Oh Holy Night" or "Baby Gewl Gewl". Reading books is something you love, but can't seem to sit through the whole book. You still love to eat. Every couple of hours. You are going through stranger danger now and are very attached to Mommy and Daddy. You don't like when we leave at all. I love you baby girl!
