New York in the Fall

Here are some pictures from our trip to New York to visit Rick's brother Rob and his wife Emily. We had such a great time. Rob and Em thank you so much for showing us the city and for letting us stay with you. And, Thank you Grandmas and Grandpas for watching Holly while we were gone.

Swimming Lessons

Holly started swimming lessons a few weeks ago. Her and I go every Tuesday morning to a place called Aqua Tots. I really love it. When I signed her up for the class they told me that it was a parent taught class and that there could be up to 8 other children in her class. We were the only ones to sign up for this class time so we get one on one instruction for the teacher. It is really great. I sit on the steps and watch while the teacher takes Holly and teachers her things like going under water, kicking her feet, and holding on to the side of the pool. I can't believe how much she is already learning. Here are a few action shots...

Play time with Daddy

Holly loves when daddy comes home from work because he is way more fun than mommy :)

Holly almost 6 Months

I can't believe that my little Holly will be 6 months old next week. She is just growing up so fast! We are having lots of fun and loving every minute.

Helping Dad organize the Office

We really cleaned out all the clutter and got the office in working order.

Sitting in Daddy's Chair

I loved these pictures because the look on Holly's face seems to say "ha ha Daddy I am sitting in your favorite chair!" She is just too funny.
