The life of new parents

Sunday was Olivia’s Christening.  Here’s the happy family.  Olivia’s wearing the same gown that Niki wore for her baptism when she was a baby.

Happy baby

We took Aunt Brie out to breakfast on her birthday.  Maya spotted the horses in the water while walking to The Classic Cup so we had to take a detour.

We spent last weekend in Tipton, IA at Grandma’s house.  Maya had lots of fun riding on the lawn mower with Grandma.

We had a nice visit with Carol at a coffee shop in town.

Grandma has horses in her barn which Maya had to see every time we came home or left.

More meow’s!

Swinging with daddy!

Playing with Greta and the water at Uncle Brandon’s house.

Bye Bye Grandma’s house!

Grandma Rosie & Grandpere took Maya to the Deanna Rose Farmstead.

Looks like they found a kitty!

Linda came down for a visit a few weeks ago.  We had such a nice weekend.  We did some shopping for baby girl Amberson, took the kids to the pool, grilled out and had donuts at the park.

Last weekend Aunt Brie & Uncle Corey hung out with Maya so we could meet up with a bunch of friends at the Parkville Brewfest.  We had a blast, and it looks like we weren’t the only ones having a good day!

“More!”

My niece Kate had her 1st Communion today.  Her Aunt Ronnie flew in from NY to be here and Uncle Bob & Patricia drove here from NE.  Grandma Jacobsen came from Iowa but Uncle Brandon was sick and unable to come with her.  Yesterday we tried to go to Griffin’s game, but it got rained out.  We went back to the Ambersons house for dinner.  Here’s Maya playing with the scary monkey and Katie.

Here’s Griffin & Dennis at Kate’s ceremony today.
