Fall 2006

Hello All: Sorry it has been soooo long. The summer flew by. We have been away every weekend either camping or at weddings. I think we attended 7 weddings this summer. Tis the season. :) Natalie is now 6 months old and doing the "army" crawl to get around the house and office. She will soon be crawling...the bottom is up and rocking. She is also sitting up.....a bit wobbly, but we are counting it. Our exchange student, Aglaia, joined our family in August. She is enjoying high school and all of the fun things we do. I don't think she appreciates the luxioury of an outhouse in the woods.....but maybe with time she will. All is well and we couldn't be happier. Sending our blessings and thank you for sharing in our blog.

Our Sweet Family in the office...working with my Daddy.

The beautiful, spectacular geyers of Yellowstone Natiaonal Park....go to www.yellowstone.net to learn and see more. We took Aglaia there last weekend for a nice getaway. She is our exchange student from Germany. She really enjoyed the true wonders of the Earth. This is an arial photo that I borrowed from the website, because my camera didn't get a great picture like this one.

Natalie enjoying her first solids...green beans - yum-yum!!!

Yellowstone Nataional Park - We saw a bear, elk, bison, river otters, an antelope, and many beautiful geysers....oh, and yes, of course Old Faithful - WOW

Beautiful Yellowstone

When we first entered the park we were greeted with this glorious waterfall.

Natalie's playtime on the floor at home. I am soooo happy!!

Hello All,
This summer has been flying by. Natalie has been traveling around the beautiful state of Idaho and already taken her first plane ride to Chicago. She is already 3 1/2 months old and doing so well. She is smiling and starting to laugh and laugh. It is the cutest thing and it really makes me laugh. She has already enjoyed many camping and hiking trips. Here are a few pictures of friends, family and trips that we have taken in the last couple of months. Enjoy and keep me posted our your lives....start a blog :)
