The past 3 months....in pictures!!!


Well, obviously it's been a loooong time since we posted last. It's no exaggeration when I say that the past 3 months have been some of the craziest of our lives. So in order to get a quick blog post out there I simply uploaded a bunch of pictures that I've been holding onto for awhile. It's kind of a random mix of pictures and they are in no particular order. Here is kind of a run down of what is included. :)

1. Last day of school
2. Mother's Day
3. We sold our house!
4. We lived with my mom for almost 3 weeks
5. Chuck's accident where he broke his collar bone and a rib. He had surgery to fix his collar bone.
6. We bought a new house!!
7. Vacation to St. Louis
8. All of the randomness that happened in between.


I also apologize for the graininess of some of the photos. I have no idea why they came out like that on here this time.


Packing up the old house!


Breakfast in St. Louis

Getting ready to go to our new subdivisions pool.













Daddy teaching Shea all about baseball.






Gwendolyn got an Amtryke bike!! These are great little trikes that are donated by the Ambucs.  We  were very blessed to have one donated for our girl. They are great because she can move it by pedaling with her arms instead of her legs. It even came with a helmet which I think is her favorite part. :)


My mom had helped me set up the bookshelf in the girls' room. I couldn't find Braelyn for awhile one day and finally located her here, doing this. She loves books!

This was Shea shortly after her 2 month shots.

We have to keep ourselves busy during these summer days so we made a dollhouse out of a shoe box. 




Seriously....how cute are these two?




Our new house has a neighborhood pool!







Last day of school. Last bus ride.





Meeting some players with Daddy.

Daddy on Father's Day.

Meeting a cheerleader!

Playing with cousin Lindsay on our deck.

Butterfly House in St. Louis



Gwendolyn on the 4th of July. She started out scared to death, but really ended up enjoying herself. She was very proud to overcome her fears. 

Riding on the tram at Grant's Farm in St. Louis..


A little dinner on the deck.

Braelyn has been refusing to take a nap lately so she couldn't quite stay awake for fireworks on the 4th. Somehow she slept through them all! 


Looking very studious. She said that she needed her glasses on to do her "work".  


Park in St. Louis

My date for the fireworks show.


She loves her Daddy!

She chose her own attire for breakfast.

All of our family of 5 on the carousel at Grant's Farm. That's Shea's little head in my baby carrier. 


A much needed haircut.



Shea enjoyed the park too!


She LOVES her baths.

They insisted on being together in the stroller. Pretty sure they won't fit like that long. 

No, she did not actually sleep this way. But she looked so cute! Vacation can wear a baby out!

Much needed haircut.

Mother's Day Picnic



Daddy after his accident with his broken collar bone. :(

Saying goodbye to the old house and ALL those stairs!!

Saying goodbye to the cute mural on our wall that has been there since before we were born.



Poor Daddy in the ER.

We have a picture of Daddy like this with Braelyn too. 

My sweet, sweet Gwendolyn
