Bikers

Chris got a new bike over the weekend, so biking has been the favorite mode of transportation lately. He took Natalie and Max on a bike ride almost all the way across town Sunday morning. That's a long way for little legs!

Ballet in the Park

Ballet Wichita came to Newton tonight as part of their Ballet in the Park series. They performed The Wizard of Oz, and Natalie and Max were in heaven. We have a slight Wizard of Oz obsession in our house right now. Songs, drawings, Halloween costumes, requested birthday party themes, our current bedtime chapter book - they're all Wizard of Oz, so this was perfect. They have been talking about going to the show all week. The dancers were all standing up by the stage when we got there, and Max asked a million questions about all of the characters and their costumes and where so-and-so was. Once the show started, they danced in their seats and hummed along with the songs. We even got to meet the characters after the show!

Family Pictures 2017

We all jumped in front of the camera for a few family pictures during Emma's six month session, and I love the way they turned out!

Emma's Six Month Pictures

Emma was her usual on-the-go self on the evening that we took her six month pictures. Every time we sat her down she immediately tried to either crawl away or eat her dress. Thankfully Pam had some tricks up her sleeve, and she ended up getting some beautiful pictures!

Labor Day Fun

We had such a fun, relaxed family day today. We had breakfast in Newton this morning and then took a soccer ball to a little park with a mini soccer field. I took the kids to this park once before, but we didn't know about the soccer goals, so we didn't take a ball. Ever since then, they have been asking to go back but with a soccer ball.

Look at those teeth!
