Hilton visit

It had been too long since we had headed back to Opa and Yaya's for a visit so we drove up for a long weekend and had a blast visiting farms, taking walks, celebrating Halloween, our anniversary (#6), and Yaya's birthday!! Enjoy the pictures from our action packed yet relaxing weekend!

bike ride

It was a crisp morning and we decided to pack the bikes up and find some flat land to take the boys out for a ride. It was great - Eric and I were able to get a little exercise and the guys all did well staying on the side of the road and following our "safety rules"!

Family Day at Yecks Farm

We met some friends at Yeck Farm for a picnic and hayride on Saturday afternoon and we lucked out with another beautiful Fall day. The kids all had fun and we went home with some great pumpkins (and carmel/peaunut covered apples!).

Zachary - Soccer

Something clicked about mid-season this Fall and Zach tasted a glimpse of victory as he scored his first goal! Ever since he has been hungry for more and we have enjoyed watching him play on Saturday mornings.

Stamps

Yaya & Aunt Joni's hidden treasure had some new crafts - we had fun with the stamps on a rainy afternoon! Thanks!

The Farm

We went on Zachary's first field with St. Paul's - The Farm! It was a very small farm but the class was able to feed the cows apples, sit on the tracker, watch them stack hay in the barn, pump the well, ring the bell, and check out an outhouse!! Fun stuff!

261 Reunion - October 2010

Over Columbus Day weekend we were excited to host a 261 Reunion. Opa and Yaya came from Hilton, Aunt Joni from Seattle, Uncle Joe & Aunt Jutta from Germany, and Cousins Ron, Katja, Ryan, and Lisa from Irwin, PA. It was a perfect Fall day and we had fun visiting and celebrating birthdays!

For those who don't know - Yaya, Joni, and Joe grew up at 261!! It was their first time back in 3 years and the first time seeing the house since we had made changes.

September 24, 2010 - 3 year olds!

Hard to believe but our babies turned 3! They had a great birthday with Oma visiting and were to surprised to find baloons, bikes and a basketball hoop waiting for them when they woke up!

We spent the morning testing the new bikes and then met up with some friends at Jumpin Castle for a little party in the afternoon. Overall it was a great day!


They visited the doctor for their well-visit. No surprise - Jake is 5 lbs heavier and 2 inches taller than Lucas....he was in the 90+ percentile for both height and weight. Luke was 31 pounds and 38 inches.
