The Rehersal

We left Richfield Friday morning and arrived in PA at lunch time. Grandma watched Hannah while Seth and I scooted off for lunch. We were able to enjoy some time of fellowship with Fred, Hannah and thier little Clark, Cody & Erica, and the bride and groom. It was great to all get to spend time together before the wedding.

The rehersal started at 4pm. Hannah did a great job walking down the aisle....we were hoping and praying that she would do the same thing come the big day.

Mom Finnegan made the rehersal dinner...and did a great job! She had lots of help from Nana, Papa, Aunt Brenda & Uncle Ron...they were all GREAT!

A trip to Richfield Woods

On our way to PA for Adam and Jill's wedding we were able to stop by at Grandpa and Grandma Roth's house. It worked out perfectly! We were able to celebrate Grandma's birthday with her (on the actual day) and it saved us from a 7.5 hour trip! When we got there on Thursday we talked for a little, and of course I loved playing with the puppies, but then we decided to go for a walk at the park. I got to visit the park that my Mommy used to play at when she was little...she says it's changed a lot since then though.

Here I am having a ball swinging with Grandma!

Wheee!!!

-giggles-

There are butterflies in my tummy!!

My first time down a big slide...I LOVED it!

Playin' on the teeter todder with Mom and Uncle "J"

Empty then full, then empty again

One of my new favorite things to do is move objects from one place to another. Here, I was at Aunt Beth's house playing with her cool blocks. It was fun to play with just the blocks for a while, but then I decided to get creative. I moved them one by one to the drawer in her kitchen. Then I decided to empty that drawer and moved them one by one to another drawer, and then moved them all again to a pot in the cabinet. I had tons of fun! Thanks Aunt Beth for letting me play with your cool blocks (and with your pots and pans too!) Oh...and did I mention...I'm SO SO SO excited for my cousin to come in October (Mommy is really hoping that he/she will come on her bday)! Hurry up little baby...I can't wait for you to come out and play!!

Mothers Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Of course, I thank the Lord for my Mom, and for my Mother-in-law too. He has been so good to me. It's hard to believe that now I'm a mother myself, and I sure am enjoying the huge blessings that come along with mothering.

Hannah greeted me in the morning (don't you love the morning hair!) with this box in hand. Inside were a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. I lost one from my last pair...so I was so glad to have a new pair.

Our second mothers day together

New Friends

Last week, Mrs. Frohreip had Mommy and I over to play with some of her friends. I met Ethan and his Mommy along with Luke, Ben, Matthew, and their Mommy. It was different playing with boys...because I'm so used to playgroup with all my girl friends, but we sure had fun! We played with trains, cars, duplos, and on the rocking horse (my favorite!) Here's a pic of Matthew and I. :)

Playing outside

We are SO glad for the warmer weather! Mommy and I LOVE that we can play outside. Here are some shots from one of the beautiful spring days last week.

Uncle Cody taught me how to blow seeds last weekend...and I remembered!

For the love of Vera Bradley

Last weekend was girls weekend. It worked out perfectly. Seth had a mens conference here at home, and the anual Veral Bradley outlet sale was happening in Fort Wayne. SO....us girls got together and went shopping! We all stayed at Erica's house Friday night and went shopping in the morning. Hannah stayed with her Uncle Cody and of course Grandma and Papa too. She had fun going for walks and playing lots.

Over the whole weekend 40,000 people were at the sale. There were so many people there...this was just the line to pay for our bags.
We had lots of time to talk while we were in line. We waited for 45 minutes outside to even get into the building, and then 1.5 hours in line to pay. We didn't mind though ;o)

It was so fun to see Beth, Bonnie, and Erica!


Here we are with all our bags. I'm SO excited about my new baby bag. That was all I really wanted to get, and as you can see...I got a lot more. DISCLAIMER: many of these are for gifts or to sell on ebay. :) So fun!
