When I picked E up from daycare today she was sporting her first ever ponytail! While I obsessed over the cuteness she obsessed over the tiki torches in the backyard. Another beautiful night spent outside!

Aunt Jory

My sister, Jory, came for a visit Friday night! Emerson is all about her aunts so this was a special treat! It was quite the hot day so the sprinkler and ice cream were definite musts along with several dance parties, lots of singing and unfortunately a lot of drooling and boogies thanks to E’s cold. Despite not feeling great, Emerson loved every minute of Jory’s visit, especially driving her car! Thanks for coming, Chroma!

Emerson was able to see all 4 grandparents over the holiday weekend. We started it off Friday morning with a long drive to Spirit Lake. It was relaxing to get there early in the afternoon and to spend the day with Gram before everyone else made it home. E had a blast with her Aunties [...]

On St. Patty’s Day, my sisters took Emerson and me to the Iowa Children’s Museum in Coralville for some creative play. While we were there Emerson did some grocery shopping, visited the hospital, played several instruments, built a car, and learned about gravity! I’m sure she’ll get more out of it when she’s a little [...]

Sunday morning we woke up with the sun and went along with Nic to his favorite fishing spot. The scenery was literally picture-perfect and I now understand why he ventures there so often. Emerson and I had fun hiking around, bird-watching, and finding sticks while Bela tore through the grass enjoying every last second of [...]

Our home reached it’s 101 year milestone last March when we purchased it. I knew that with age would come character and potential problems down the road, but what I wasn’t expecting was 100 coats of paint. Part of the appeal of this house was that a large portion of it had been newly remodeled. [...]
