Cute (and Blurry) Faces

Camera Shy

Or very much the opposite. Max is a little ham!

Story Time

We went to story time at the library this morning. It is a special story time geared towards kids ages 0-4. Although Max is age 0, he didn't do much participating other than napping in the Moby wrap or as Natalie likes to call it, his "pocket". Natalie was too busy to listen to the stories too well, but so were the other 35 toddlers. We all had much more fun digging plastic creatures out of ice blocks on the side walk outside. Natalie was excited to sit by her friends Sadie and Carston.

Once everyone had freed their animals from the ice, we were supposed to go back inside for more stories, but Natalie wanted to stay where she was. After some ice eating and some spinning on the grass, Miss Free Spirit was ready to go back inside with everyone else.

Story time ended with a popsicle snack, and we checked out some books on the way home. We even checked out a Star Wars counting book like good O'Hallorans.

Tuesday Happenings

Natalie and Max Meet a Turtle

We saw a turtle outside my parents' house this last weekend and ran out to see it thinking that Natalie would really like to see a real turtle for the first time. We thought wrong. She was a little scared of it and kept her distance.

Strawberry Picking

Lindy and Alex's Wedding

We went to my cousin Lindy's wedding up around Kansas City this weekend. The wedding was beautiful, and so was Lindy. Max got to meet everyone on my dad's side of the family, and Natalie got to hug Lindy in her pretty dress, so everyone was happy. 

I was kind of dreading the three hour car ride from Hesston to Kansas City, but it went surprisingly well. How we can easily make it to Kansas City when we sometimes have trouble with the ten minute drive to Newton is beyond me. Maybe the extra large stash of books and fruit snacks had something to do with it.
