Happy Summer

Here is what's new in my life:

First things first, I am way overdue in introducing my newest little friend..........Benjiman Matthew was born May 7 at 4:29 p.m., 6lbs. 14oz., 20 in. long. He is OH SO SWEET! We have had great fun spending time with him these last several weeks. I love to hold him, but have a little trouble wrestling him away from my mom. She is such a baby hog. Ben and big brother Jake will be coming to our house regularly staring next week, and we are VERY excited! Check out the adorable smile he debuted a couple of weeks ago!








Dad has decided to start doing road races. I like to go and watch, and plan on doing my frist .5 mile fun run this Saturday following Daddy's 5K.

My dance recital was held over Memorial Day weekend. Mom says I did a good job, and improved a lot from last year. I did a tap dance to "Splish Splash". Here are a few shots of me in my costume.





We had the rare delight of having twin calves born on our farm. I named them Frank and Dave. Daddy found out a couple of weeks later that he made a little mistake, so Dave was renamed Anastasia.

I have been fully enjoying being outside. My favorites this summer are riding my bike and scooter, playing baseball, and of course swimming.

I took swimming lessons for two weeks, and had the same teacher that I had last summer. Her name is Abby too! I was comfortable with her which helped me be a little more willing to try new things. I start another two week session on Tuesday.

Here I am doing Daddy's hair. I have enjoyed having him around a little more the last couple of weeks. He had a very long, wet spring, and we are so glad that things are looking up for him now. We know it was very stressful for you, good job Daddy.
