Leah's Baptism

Leah's Baptism was on Sunday, September 16th. at St. Charles Church in Hartland.

Leah is all dressed in her baptismal gown made from Great-Grandma Marilyn's wedding dress.  Natalie and Ellie wore the dress when they were baptized too.

Leah was all smiles on her Baptismal day.  We celebrated at Uncle Dan and Aunt JoAnn's house after mass.

Leah is just over 3 months old and continues to be a great baby.  She is full of smiles and loves the attention they bring.  Natalie got a giggle out of her once but it hasn't happened again, we'll keep trying. 

We went to visit our old friends in MN the last week in July.  The kids had a great time and picked up with their friends just where they left off.  

Lake Riley Park in Eden Prairie

Leah slept for the majority of the play date.





My friends and I met at Story time at the Eden Prairie library over 5 years ago when we all had one kid. We went from 4 kids to 11 kids over the years.  Here is our attempt at getting a picture of 9 of the 11!








The other two...Leah and Dominick

Pizza night with our old neighbors!!

We took the kids to a benefit for a SMSA teacher at the ice rink.  We didn't think all four kids would be interested in skating because there were a lot of other activities going on as well but, of course they all wanted to so Adam and I did our best to get all the kids on skates.  The actually all did pretty good!






Fun with Instagram




The new house is coming along, not as quickly as we would like but we are doing our best to be patient.  

This is the formal dining room with a couple doors drying in the middle.

Kitchen and informal dining space.  The island is not in place and the wall cabinets still need to be painted.

This is the wet bar area of the lower level.

The beloved lockers!!
