First Day of School!

In the beginning of September, Eden started a Montessori program.

She was so excited for her first day of school and continues to love every moment of it. Our walls are quickly filling up with the school projects that she brings home every day.

Nem, was initially suspicious of Eden's daily absences. But she has quickly learned to love the short few hours where I am all hers. I quite like the extra cuddles I get too :)

Eden: A Lesson in

What to Wear and How

1. Accessories and Layers . . . you can never have too many of either. 2. The flapper look is always in. Also, try to avoid direct eye contact with cameras . . . it will make you look mysterious.
3. Pink is appropriate in any situation including when imitating wild monsters lurking in the darkest of jungles.
4. Any outfit can go from "blah" to amazing with the cunning use of goofy faces!
5. Flapper style + goofy face = perfection
6. When all else fails, stick some flowers in your hair.

Wisconsin in the Summer

Well, I'm back on the blog train! It has been quite a while, so I might as well start right where we left off. In August we went out to Wisconsin to visit with my side of the family. Thankfully this time we were able to get down to see my Grandma and Grandpa Wolff. After the long car ride, Eden just wanted to snuggle with Grandma Jensen.

I got to show Eden some of the wonderful places to run and play at their house, and it was really great to see my Grandparents again. I think the last time I saw them was when Eden was 4 months old! Here are four generations! Grandma and Grandpa Wolff, Grandma Jensen, Nemmers, Corben, Eden and me.

Grandma and Grandpa Jensen decided to give Eden her birthday present early and she couldn't have loved it more!

Well, maybe if it had been Corben :) She loved that boy so much!

Babies everywhere! It was nice to have all three of the Jensen grandkids together. We all had fun juggling the little ones, each at a different phase, so it kept us laughing and on our toes.

I think Rob found a kindred spirit. And Jord had a blast playing around with Nem too.

Nemmie even got in some quality relaxing with Grandpa Jensen.

Not to say Eden didn't have fun too. That girl was just way to fast for my camera! Ahh, and here, our bathing beauties smiling for the camera. (The water was beautiful!)

While we were up in Door County, we took a trip to The Farm with the Kearneys. Eden loved the little animals: the kittens, the chicks, and the baby goats and sheep.

Nemmie, ever suspicious, didn't like any of the animals to get too close. Yes, this is a picture of Nem kicking a goat in the face! It seemed to think she was offering her shoe up as food and didn't seem to mind the abuse. Thankfully neither goat nor shoe were harmed in the taking of this picture.

After our week at the cottage, Nem and I stayed an extra week and hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Jensen and Uncles Rob and Jord. I seem to have very few pictures of anyone other than Nem, (looking cute of course), but still, wish I would have taken a few more pictures of her with her Grandparents or Uncles.

We took some wonderful walks at the Abby, one of my favorite places to relax when I lived in Wisconsin. Nem and I sat under the willow trees and played and laughed alot.

It was a beautiful trip!
