Mobility


Watch Katelynn's ever so graceful movement from sitting to her belly, her army crawling, and her assent of her new favorite toy (thanks to the Clarks)!

More Family

This past weekend, we got to have lunch with Katelynn's Aunt Stephanie, and we got to meet her daughter for the first time. So meet Katelynn's super cute 5-year-old cousin Abbie! (Sorry about the poor photo quality, bad lighting at Panera.) I think they liked each other...
Abbie, Jocelyn, Katelynn, and Stephanie. Don't be deceived by Abbie's shy look in this photo... I think Katelynn and Abbie are both going to be little social butterflies.

A Sad Good-bye

This month, we had to say good-bye to our good friends the Mike, Jenn, Samuel, and Liam Clark as they are moving back to Michigan. Fortunately while we were in Montana, we got to spend a few days with the them as they trek across the US. We hung out for a couple of days at the FitzGerald's lakehouse in Big Fork, and then spent an evening in Glacier National Park with them.

Liam and Katelynn looking very cute.

To the Clarks: we are so grateful for the three years we got to spend with you. Thanks for your friendship, hospitality, encouragement, and never-ending support. We already miss you more than words can express.

Montana Trip 2

This week, we got back from our second Montana trip this summer (one more trip to go). This time, Tucker's brother Andrew got married. After a short rain delay, they had a nice outdoor wedding at the Gates of the Mountains. Tucker is the groomsman closest to the front. Welcome to the family Crystal!
Here we are waiting out the rain.
And Miss Kate in her pretty dress (thanks Nana).
We also got to meet the newest addition to the family. Ivey was born on July 15th. So here are the three cousins: Katelynn, Tithen, and Ivey.
And finally, we got a good picture of Katelynn with Uncle Casen and Aunt Spring (parents of Tithen and Ivey).
And of course we did a little bit of swimming with Uncle JT...
