New family pictures

One of Alice's most favorite games
this and another picture we have of ann (6 mths old) in the same pose so they will hang side by side with just us and them. I don't want anyone to think we are picking favorites.



Alright, to catch everyone up on our lives. We were sent to Ohio for Scott's last year of school (his rotations). We didn't think they would ever send us this far away so in may it came as a huge shock that we had to move our family to yet another state. We found a house to rent and moved in May. We had an amazing party for Ann's 3rd birthday- by her choice it was a dinosaur party and she LOVED it! We put Ann in t ball and she starts preschool in september 2 days a week for 2 hours. I found an AMAZING preschool that i am really excited about. We have story hour for ann and another infant story hour for Alice at the library. Not only is Alice crawling but she's couch cruising and really wanting to walk! She's fearless! She has 2 bottom teeth and she has 2 top teeth but they are not her front teeth they are on the sides where her front teeth are so she looks like a little vampire :) She is so happy and easy going - she really like people watching and loves to be outside. Also we are so blessed to have our girls love each other so much! Ann loves being a big sis and Alice loves following Ann. We have to tell Ann that hugs last long enough that Alice is still smiling and not too long that she isn't happy anymore :) We went to family reunion in July for Scott's family and it was awesome to see everyone and get together. We just celebrated our 8th Anniversary last week (thank you to scott's mom for coming to watch the kids) It seems like we have found our place in Ohio (**excluding the football team). When we first moved with unpacking and Scott being busy it was a little crazy for a while but things have settled down enough that it feels like home. We feel blessed for the opportunity to have each other and to be here. So that in a nut shell has been our summer so far. Hopefully i will post pictures of these things but for now we have a few new pictures we got done last month.
I have a pictures of us and Ann in this pose and i thought it would be fun to have a few pictures of just us and Alice. (MAybe i am the 3rd child and don't have very many pictures of me that there aren't 3 other kids in it) i just thought it would be special. Is that weird?
Scott and his girls! Ya know i always knew scott loved kids and that he would be an great father but most days he blows me away at the AMAZING father he is.
I don't know why but this is my favorite picture, maybe because it feels like everyday... us just wrestling on the ground together.
Ahhh sister. Isn't Alice getting so big??



I never realized with all the perfect pictures you see how hard it is to get everyone happy and smiling when it's 90 degrees out with 2 small children ...lol this is as close as we got.
