Back home

We are back home and V is so happy!!
We just got back from V's doctors appointment. V weighs 13.11 pounds (10th percentile), length is 25 inches (10th percentile). I am so happy that V finally passed the 5% mark.
Yesterday I sang "Happy Half-Birthday" to her. She just smiled. I can't believe that she is 6 months old. Time passes so quickly.

Spent time with Great-Grandma

John's Grandma came over to his parents house today. It is great to see her and V together. Virginia was of course excited to see her. She has been great this whole trip. Yesterday we kept her out until 10pm because of the wedding last night. She did amazinly well. She only got a little cranky once and that was because she was starting to get hungry. Of course when we got in the car to leave she fell right to sleep. I don't even think we made it out of the parking lot before she was out.

Thor has loved the trip too. He just loves new places. New smells and new sites.

John was excited to see some friends he hasnt' seen in a long time. We went to his H.S. reunion last night but by the time we made it there it was 11pm and a lot of people had already left. Some people were at the wedding so he did get to see some people there.

We are on the road tomorrow on our way back home. V will be happy to sleep in her own bed tomorrow night. Of course she will probably be a bear in the nursery Sunday during church-sorry Rachel and Vance!

In Kansas

Well we are back in kansas. We came to go to a wedding of one of John's good friends and then to John's 10 year class reunion. I am just hoping that Virginia does well. She has been a little cranky lately and don't want her to be crying during the wedding. The wedding is outside and wouldn't have a place to calm her down.

She was so excited to see her Oma and Opa. She is just too cute!

John goes to work part-time at Sears again starting Thursday. It is going to be a tough time for us. John is going to be extremely tired and I am going to be extremely lonely. I am use to him being there during the mornings. But we will get through it. It is only temporary.

blah blah blah

Virginia has grown like a weed.  It is crazy how big she is now.  She must be going through another growth spurt because she is sleeping all the time.  She slept all through mom's group today.  

I have to help Avery build a church now with blocks.  I will write more later.

Grandpa-Great

Today was Grandpa-Great's funeral. It was a joyful and sorrowful time all at once. People were laughing and crying. It was so good to see so many people come out to support the family. The Rogers' are amazing people who have many loving and praying for them.

Yesterday was CRAZY!! So many crazy things happened I couldn't even list them all. Lets just say they involve two cows, highway, car accident, cow "dressing", a funeral visitation.

It was great to see family. We won't see most of them again until Thanksgiving. It was sad to see people go.

We head back home tomorrow. It will be good or V to get back on a regular schedule and for her to sleep in her own bed.

Noises and Toes

Virginia has learned to make raspberry noises now with her mouth. It is so funny. She will be crying and fussing and then all of a sudden make that noise and I just laugh at her. She has also learned how to grab her toes. She is growing so much it is crazy.
We are all still at his parents house right now. V is getting some good bonding time with her Oma and Opa. She got to meet her Aunt Judy and Uncle Pete today. The loved all over her.

First Post

I wanted to create a site where family and friends, who we don't see often enough, could know what was happening and see recent pictures. Enjoy!
