We are all moved and getting settled

In case you didn't already know, Ryan got a promotion and we moved 2 hours north to the South Bend area, we are building a new home that should be ready this fall. In the meantime we are renting a home from our builder far out in the country and trying to make the best of our time here as you will see in the most recent pictures. Baby Kennadee is due to arrive in about 2 1/2 months.

Ryan takes Jama on a weekend getaway to Chicago for her birthday

Lunch on the 95th floor of the hancock tower, what a view


This was Jama's 1st time in Chicago, Navy Pier park in this picture


Ryan at the Navy Pier Beach Chicago


View of the Windy City from the pier


We drive a mile down the road from our rental house and took a two hour train ride to get to Chicago, thank you Aunt Suz and Nina for watching Kaylee for the weekend for one of our last getaways without any kids for a long time!

Kaylee reads mom her birthday card

Kaylee wants nothing to do with the sand and getting dirty

Visit to nearby family, Aunt Suz, Nina, and Max





Cousin Max played the banjo while cousin Nina and Kaylee Danced, then they even had a Happy Birthday cake for mommy so I got to help blow out the candles


Kaylee Dances at the Fireworks show - Good Laugh

Make sure to watch the "knee move" she pulls out towards the end, who is going to admit to teaching her this?

off to see 4th of July Fireworks



this was the look on Kaylee's face as she watched the fireworks, she called some of them Dora and strawberry shortcake fireworks. This was the first time we had taken Kaylee to a local park event to see them right over her head, pretty neat, she had a lot of fun!

4th of July




Since our new neighborhood does not have a pool, we had to creat a fun time in our own backyard with Kaylee's new splash pool and picnic patio set, it was a beautiful day!

Our New Neighbors



Told you our rental home was way out in the country, the first Saturday we were here we woke up to a deer walking thru our backyard, then he took a slow stroll down the sidewalk



Daddy teaches Kaylee to fish


Kaylee insisted on getting a "pink" cinderella fishing pole, so Daddy teaches her the drill at the new rental home, as you can see she must have only been fishing for cats and dogs

Last Day with our Indy playgroup



Kaylee Praying, she thanked God for her Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich


Kaylee said she had a lot of work to do
