Frenchtown Pond

Thursday after school we met the Ederer girls for fishing and playtime at Frenchtown Pond.  Taking 2-year-olds fishing is hilarious!  The Mamas put the worms on and casted the poles.  Owen walked around with his pole tangling himself in the line several times and dipping the pole tip in the water.  Syd LOVES worms so much that she was more interested in emptying the bait cup and holding them.  

 Aren't they cute though?

 Syd kept offering worms to Owen who was not at all interested in touching them

Tub Time

giving swim lessons to his tub monsters

Owen is SO much better at washing his hair...
it used to be a scream session but now he willingly tips his head back and there are no tears!

trying out the big tub by herself...
when they are sharing the tub, she is better off in the blue boat for now :)

All clean!

Shots and Stats

Clara had her 6mo well child today (even though she's almost 7 mo) and here is how she measures up...
Weight:  15 lbs 6 oz 24%
Height:  25 3/4 in. 34%
Head: 42.8 cm. 48%

In addition to her other shots, she and Owen also got their flu shots/cool bandaids.  Owen wanted his bandaid first, then Clara got her 3.  After some tears and shrieks Owen gave Clara a hug and we were off to say goodbye to the fish and head home for lunch.  Good job at the doctor kiddos!

Chicken Noodle Soup

The weather is hinting at fall, and one of my favorite things about fall is FALL SOUPS!  It really ended up being a beautiful sunny day where we also worked in the yard and played outside...but we also made soup.  Owen was a great helper and really liked the finished product too!

Baby Elhardt

My great friends Teresa & Matt had their little boy!  Griffin John Elhardt was born on Sunday and is doing great...so are Mom, Dad and big sister Addy.  We are so excited for you and look forward to meeting Griffin!

first time on the swing at the park

We lost the two golf balls that Owen got with his clubs (Gracie got them for him for his bday) and it turns out...plastic golf balls only come in 24 packs!  Driving range?

He has been really into golf the past few weeks.  As soon as Brett gets home, "Daddy wanna play golf with me?"

I get to play with him sometimes too and Clara seems entertained sitting up watching.

Clara's 6 monthers

Here are some pics from Clara's little 6 month photo session and the album if you want to see more.

Owen came home from daycare yesterday and when I asked who he played with he said "Camden has cool hair.  It's kinda like this (and he tickled the top of his head)."  So we picked up some $3 hair gel (that is SUPER strong by the way...more like glue) and we had a cool dude headed out the door for daycare today!
