WHAT AN AUGUST!

MORGAN IS 8 MONTHS OLD!


Our little girl is growing up so fast! She is crawling, talking "ooooh," dadadada," and "baba" are her favorite words. (Still no MAMA!) She is sitting, moving, rolling, sitting some more, then pulling hersef up where ever she can. I think this one is going to be tough to keep track of! But she is always smiling and happy around people. She and Joey just laugh and play - it's such a gift to see! When she's not on the move, she just sits, happily with 2 fingers in her mouth...is that better or worse than a 2 year old who CAN'T give up "paci" for naps and night time...hmmm. I think either way, we'll be investing in braces for the both of them down the road!

We have done all sorts of things this month (unforatunately - we were without a camera for most of it - while it was being fixed!) - we went to the zoo, we went to the State Fair, the Children's Museum, we went to the pool, park, on bike rides and long walks. Joey went to the Air Show with daddy and cousin MJ and he also gets to ride on the Digger with daddy too! We also got to see a performance of a drum corp, which was a highlight of the month for Joey!

To end off the month, Mommy and Daddy went to Branson, Missouri and Joey and Morgan played with Ry Ry and Mo. It's been a great month!

THE FAMILY

We went on a trip to OH and PA this August - we stopped first in Rushville, IN and saw our first ever Tractor Parade - it was big fun! And that was just a few hours into the trip!

We then headed back to Warren, OH for a night and then on to PA for the Williams Family Reunion. Morgan got to meet lots of family for the first time!

Morgan is pictured with Aunt Donna, Aunt Jill, Aunt Nancy & Uncle Reed, and G-pa Williams - Joey got to hang out with his cousin Mason too!

Up Up and Away!

On the opening day of the Indiana State Fair, Joe, my brother Ryan (uncle ry ry), Joey, Morgan, and I got up very early to see the Hot Air Balloon Race at dawn! It was an amazing sight - 27 unique and colorful hot air balloons took flight just a few feet away from us.

We enjoyed the day at the fair - it's an event we have decided to make "a tradition" for our family each summer!

The Schmidt House

Hello and welcome to our blog - I send out monthly updates on the kids - usually around the 29th of each month...but I thought this would be a fun way to keep up with us throughout the month too!

So, enjoy our photos, please come visit anytime!

What an August it has been! Joe had a business trip to Branson, Missouri and I got to join him! The kids stayed home and Grandma Williams aka "Mo" and Uncle Ry Ry played with Joey and Morgan all week!

We have also FINALLY began "construction" on the addition! It all begins by tearing out the old driveway, next tearing down that storage garage (I DID NOT PUT THAT SUN ON THERE!), and then we hope to break ground on the cement garage floor and begin framing the 2 story addition soon! We'll keep you posted on this blog!
