Our Little Peach

Brian, Kate, and I are having a great Labor Day weekend. We made it to Romeo for the Michigan Peach Festival. We watched the Kid Activities, walked the streets, and of course picked up some delicious New Haven Michigan Peaches. We are going to freeze a bunch so our little girl can enjoy them this year. Kate especially had a great day because she loves all the action. She hangs out in her snugli and when we pass people she yells for them to pay attention to her. A complete first born-the world is supposed to hang on my every breath- attitude, which we think is adorable just like the pictures above!

Christopher's Birthday Bash

The Birthday Boy going in for a kiss!

Kate playing hard to get!

Christopher, that's a little too fresh for me!

Kate attended her first official kid party the other week. Christopher Gottschalk turned one and we had a great time. The Oehmke-Gottschalk-Carlin family throws awesome parties and this one was no exception. Brian and I were very happy to get invited via Kate and Christopher's budding friendship.

Hot New Wheels

My Mom bought Kate a new little pink car to ride around town in and boy does she love it!

We have taken her on walks, to sunset beach, the farmer's market, and even her great-grandmother's residence, Library Lane. She has made quite the scene wherever we go with it. As Brian says, "She thinks she's hot stuff in that little thing." She usually holds the wheel with both hands talking at everything she passes. The faster you go the better. She certainly likes it better than her stroller!

Lake Placid Trip

On our recent trip to see our New York family, we went away to Lake Placid for an overnight. What a great trip! We stayed right on Mirror Lake and enjoyed wonderful meals, a few walks around the lake, a Lake Placid Boat ride (Gammie's favorite), and a memorable hike up Mount Jo (excellent suggestion Wa!) Lake Placid and the Adirondacks are truly wonderful!

Kate Pics

They last few weeks have been wonderfully busy. We have had out of town visitors or been out of town every day since July 23rd. We literally met my sister Katie and boyfriend Ben on the expressway as we returned from NY. We are having a great time with them. All of our trips and company have been such fun, but my blog posting is behind so below you will find the accumulation of Kate's 6 month pictures. Better late than never. As I look at the pictures it's funny to see Kate in a winter hat on a mild early June evening, and how advanced she has gotten in just a few weeks. She is so close to crawling so I added the above pictures for a more recent snap shot of our little one.

NY Trip

Brian, Kate, and I returned from our New York Vacation on Thursday. We had an awesome time! Kate loved being with her Gammie, Pop Pop, aunts, uncles, friends, and of course cousins. Our little girl was entertained non-stop, loved swimming, visiting, ice cream at the Jericho, and our short trip to Lake Placid. It was especially nice for me to have everyone help with Kate, and what a better place to relax while Kate is taking her afternoon nap than Gammie and Pop's pool. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to the New York contingent that made our trip so special.
