End of Summer

Visit to the Capitol

Kirk and Julia got to spend a week together in August when we didn't have daycare. Kirk took her to the capitol for a special personal tour!

"Ok, people, this is what we need to do..."

What every good speaker should do first, make sure the mic is working!

Family Update

Happy Fall, everyone! We had a wonderful summer and hope that you did too! Now on to the holidays, election, and the birth of our new addition! This winter is sure to be a memorable one!



The baby is growing and developing according to schedule. So far everything is perfect! I am already slowing down and feeling pretty big. It is quite tiring being pregnant this time around - I have a busy job and busy 2 year old to keep up with now! I take things day by day and am trying to find time to relax.

Family Get Together at the Cabin

The first weekend in August we headed to the WI cabin to spend a long weekend with Kirk's parents, my parents, my older brother and his family and my younger brother. It was a beautiful weekend and we had lots of fun!
