Sorry I haven't written in so long! Time just seems to get away from me! A lot has happened since my last post. I will summarize, so as not to go on for pages and pages! On September 13th Dan's brother Pat got married. Dan and I both stood up in the wedding and Lydia was a flower girl. She got pulled down the aisle in a wagon with Kristen's (the bride) nephew. She did such a good job, and was adorable of course! That night we got a babysitter, Megan's sister Lindsay, for the first time ever! Everything went well though, and it was nice to be able to enjoy the wedding reception without having to worry about Lydia. My whole family was at the wedding too, which was super fun because I got to hang out with both sides of the family at once!


This upcoming weekend I am going to be running in the twin cities 10 mile with my cousin Stacy. I am nervous, but very excited! I have been training really hard so I hope to do well. Stacy says how amazing the scenery is, so I am really looking forward to the whole experience. Ryan and Brent Boerboom are also coming to cheer me on along with Dan and Lydia of course! It should be a fun weekend! I will write again to let you know how it all goes. Until next time... :)

I'll give this blogging this a try...

It seems like many people I know have started up blogs, so I thought that I would give it a try. It seems like a fun idea, plus it will be a way that I can share the little happenings in our lives with those who I don't see very often. (which is many people, being all of my extended family lives in Minnesota!) Every day is something new with us, as we are enjoying watching Lydia grow! She is so amazing, and I am cherishing every minute with her because I know she will only stay this young for a short while.
Now that I am back to work :( I have less time to spend with her. I LOVED having my summer off with her. As you can see from the pictures we had a lot of fun! We kept very busy. I went for many runs with her in the stroller and Maggie in the basket underneath! We also spent a lot of time in the water, either on Shawano Lake at my parents' cabin, the kiddie pool in the back yard, or at the wading pool with my friend Nicole and her son Brady. She is definitely a swimmer like her mom and dad, which makes Dan and I very happy!
We are so lucky that we have such good people to watch her while we are at work though. Dan's mom is watching her on Mondays and Tuesdays, my mom is watching her on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Nicole is watching her on Fridays. She has fun with all of them, so I don't worry about her while I am at work... I just miss her!
I am going to end this for tonight because I have got to head to bed. We went to the Brewer game today, and sitting in the sun all day took a lot out of me!
Until next time... :)
