Moving Date Set

We are moving!!! Finally we have found a place to move into. We will be renting a home in Hartington, NE. They will be packing us on Tuesday, loading the truck on Wednesday, and unloading the truck on Thursday morning of next week (the 27th). We are all so excited and happy about the move. We have a lot to prepare for. I will be away from the blog for a few days that week. I need to open the account for phone and internet in person. So, we won’t have internet access starting Wednesday night, I will blog once we are back on-line.

Our New Pool

This is the girls enjoying their new pool that Travis installed. They are having a blast with it. We are having no problems warming up the water during the day with it reaching over 100°. Becca is learning to splash in the pool and Marisa splashes back. Marisa loves to wash rocks and grass in her pool.

Pictures! Pictures!

These were pictures taken this morning. Marisa is giving Becca a kiss. It took here a few tries to keep Becca still long enough for a kiss. Becca was enjoying all the attention. Marisa now loves to pose for a picture she just doesn't stay still long enough. Travis seems to be enjoying is time off of work. We are staying busy trying to to find a place to rent so that we can all move up together.

Doctor visit today

Wow! The girls are growing fast! Today was Rebecca's 6 month check-up (she turned 6 months yesterday) so we also took care of Marisa 2 year check-up (she turns two August 20th). Marisa is 34" (50%) and 27.8 lbs (60%) with a head circumference of 19" (70%). She is very healthy and doing well.

Becca is 26" (60%) and 20.5 lbs (100% ok we know she is big) with a head circumference of 17.25" (80%). The doctor says she is doing great and ahead in her development with scooting, attempts at crawling and her rolling ability.

Busy day today. I will try to get pictures and post them later. Here is a picture taken on 4th of July of Marisa eating her first ice cream cone. Lots of stories to tell, I will post later. Have a great day!!!

Congratulations Curt and Stacy!!!!

We had a wonderful time at your wedding. Everything looked beautiful (or really nice according to Travis)!!! Marisa had a great time dancing and spending time with Grandpa and Grandma that night. She also had a blast in the pool. Travis says that Marisa considers herself an expert swimmer. We do not. She has no fear around water even after going under a few times. Travis tells the story better (again he needs to blog) but Marisa decided it would be fun to jump from the step out into the pool all by herself. Needless to say, Travis was there to pull her up from under the water. She looked quite surprised. Sorry we have no pictures at this time. Since Travis was in the wedding party and my hands were full with two girls we were unable to carry a camera along with us.

We would like to thank Grandma and Grandpa for watching the girls through the reception and dance afterwards. The girls had lots of fun and so did we.

Big news!

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted. It has been quite crazy around our home lately. Travis has accepted a position with Kolberg-Pioneer in Yankton, SD over Father's Day weekend. We have put our home on the market and have been searching for homes in Yankton, SD and surrounding areas. Travis is very excited about the new job (bug Travis about blogging information on his new job, he will soon have lots of time to blog and no more excuses) and we are all excited to move closer to family. He begins work on July 31st and his last day at Baldwin Filters is July 10th. We will hopefully find out when we are moving this weekend. I will keep posting as much as I can through our move.
