We spent the 4th of July weekend in Champaign, Illinois with the Jessen & Linda fam. It was an 8 hour drive, which went easier than I imagined...except when Emmy started pulling hair, pinching, and biting for fun. We learned our lesson and isolated her from others on the way back, much better.
Saturday we visited "Beeches", an Amish store in a cute little Amish town. Got some fun unique treats. We won't talk about the "fair" that wasn't :)
We blessed Aaron on Sunday, July 3. It was a beautiful blessing and a special day.
He is such a sweet and good baby.
Note to self: don't hold Emmy by her diaper anymore & look into child modeling for Kaela & Luke. Talk about striking a pose!
Luke & Clairebear were inseperable. We would find them laughing and dancing together.
It was a treat to stay in Jelinda's new house. Isn't that kitchen to die for!? They built and did a fabulous job.
Happy 4th Munchkins
Sparkler time...Luke tried to light the grass on fire more than once...
Emmy wasn't so sure about this. She exclaimed "ooowwww" when a sparkle landed on her arm.
Kaela & Allison are buds for life & did a lot of trading things together. Couldn"t get a good shot of both of them so save my life!
It was Aaron's turn to cry at the "boom booms" as Emmy says. He drifted off once we covered his ears. The fireworks were quite spectacular.
Thanks for the fun and memorable weekend Jelinda family! Your house will never be quite the same, but weren't the memories worth it!?
Totally worth it and you are soooo ahead of me with keeping up on the blog! The fair that wasn't. HA! that was putting it nicely :0
