Farmin'

Wednesday, we traveled back to Waterloo to do a little bit of farming.  The boys love to ride around in the tractor and combine.  It was a great day to be out.  Emmeric was full of questions and loved seeing the stalks come down and the hopper fill up.  

 The corn coming out of the auger and into the grain cart.  

 Emmeric & I on the combine.  Thanks Brent and Lisa for letting us ride.  

Beans in a corn field?  That's just what we found, we picked up a bag full to take home.  The boys just love being in a field.

21 weeks.  Baby is growing, tummy is growing.  Feeling really good!

Haystack

Tonight at the local Hy-Vee they had a Giant Haystack and family fun night.  Of course we had to go.  The boys had a lot of fun in the bounce houses, eating hot dogs, and playing in the giant haystack.  They each walked away with a big bag of candy and a water yo-yo.  It was a fun night and something easy we could do to be apart of or new community.

 Having fun in the hay.

 New town, same cute family.

They each ate 2 hot dogs.

We made it to our new home.  Ed & I closed on Friday morning then Eddie went off to work.  My parents came down Saturday and while my Dad painted the boys room my Mom and I cleaned.  It was awesome to get it done before the boxes started coming.  After we worked for 4 hours we left, spent the night at my brother's home and went back the next morning to finish.  My Dad and my brother Andrew did some more painting while my Sister-In-Law Whitney, my Mom and I finished cleaning the whole house.  While we were busy at the new house Ed was busy packing up our 10x20 storage unit and random stuff we had at my parents home.  When he pulled in at 3 we were ready, ready to unpack the u-haul, get boxes inside and start going through them.  Then my father-in-law Steve and Eddie's Uncle Steve brought a 16 foot trailer with all of our garage things inside.  We unpacked and set stuff up until 7.  The next day on Sunday Steve and Sherri and Sarah brought the boys down to us.  Stayed and helped do more unpacking.  It's been crazy, overwhelming and exciting.  The boys loved to get out literally all of their toys and books,  and Ed & I loved being a real family again.  I cannot thank my whole family enough for all the work they did, all the help and support they gave to us during the whole process.  We love all of you!

 I know we will make some wonderful memories here!

New house, same great family!

Baby #3

Saturday we had an ultrasound.  The baby was perfect and it was a lot of fun to see our next child growing.  The boys came with us, they loved to see the baby on the screen.   It made it more real for all of us.

 Baby laying on their tummy.   Love that little butt already.

 Count all 5 toes on that little foot.

Beautiful profile and hand.  Half way there, we are excited to meet this little one.

Spaghetti Anyone?

Max's dinner last night was this HUGE plate of spaghetti.  He insisted on having this much, no sauce and ended up eating most of the plate.  

Baby too...

Since we told the boys we are going to have a baby Emmeric and Max love to play with babies.  So the other day when Emmeric brought the baby in the car we had to buckle the baby also.  I'm all about safety but I'm not ready to buckle in pretend babies.  It was very sweet.  They love to lay on my tummy, talk to the baby and ask questions.  They cannot wait to meet their new brother or sister.

Solomon's Baptism

 Last Sunday, we celebrated Solomon's Baptism.  It was a beautiful day and I felt extra special to be a part of it because I am his Godmother.

Mr. & Mrs. Miller

This past Saturday I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in my great friend Janet's wedding.  It was so much fun to be a part of her and her new husband Doug's special day.  I know these two will have a life time of happiness!

 Don't they just look happy and in love?

Me & my hubby. Eddie sang two songs at their wedding and sounded AMAZING!
