Trip to Chicago...








By request of Matthew, here are some pics of our trip to Chicago with Marshall. We visited Shedd Aquarium, Millenium Park, and downtown Chicago. It was a hot day. We had a good time...just wish we had more time there.

copy cat




Do I really talk on the phone that much??? Norah has picked up on it. She LOVES phones, regular, cell, fake...she knows them all. And she talks on them too. It is so cute. Sometimes she has one in each hand and is talking into both of them. I just laugh at her....way too cute.

turning a corner...






She is growing up. She has discovered her books. It was literally "overnight", she realized that books are fun to look at ... not just play with the pages. She loves to bring her books to us and have us read to her, and make funny noises. =) I just l0ve seeing those eyes light up and full of life. I just smile when I look at these pictures of her. She looks so sweet, and little. These days will be gone too quickly.

hanging with Marshall











Marshall and Norah were enjoying swinging in dad's hammock. We had a good time at Dad's house...swinging, and riding on the 4wheeler. We are going to miss that crazy Marhshall. It was so fun to have him here to visit us for a couple weeks.

We visited my mom and John this weekend...Norah made herself at home.

Happy 4th of July!!










Poor baby, she was sick on all this past week. She had a bad sinus infection that caused her to have a high fever of 103.7 at one time ... it last for four days, she is finally starting to feel better, she was laughing and back to herself today...she slept six hours today but when she was awake it was so nice to see her playing and looking so much better.



We spent July 5th at the beach at South Haven with our church family and watched the fireworks....Norah fell asleep right before they started, and slept through them. She had a fever that day, but we didnt know it was going to escalate like it did the next few days.

The pic. of Norah with the man....is our Pastor Ray. And with the girls...that is Mimi and Sam....Pastor Ray's daughters....that family just adores Norah.

Visitng our Grandma Opal



We love our Grandma Opal.
