Evie's Third Birthday

Evie turned three in August, and we had a busy day celebrating. In the morning we went to the zoo.

She rode a pony.

And a giant tortoise.

We went to the Stake Fair.

And the next weekend we had a joint party with Greg.

It was lovely!

Sidewalk Art

The kids had a lot of fun with sidewalk chalk this summer.

Drawing with it, and tasting it.

Jessie's Photo Shoot

While Jessie was in town, she had a little photo shoot with the kids. She is so talented!

Mom and Jessie's Visit

While Mom and jessie visited, we had lots of adventures. We wandered around Notre Dame and spent a little time at the beach at Lake Michigan. Here are some of the highlights.

Tea Party

While Mom and Jessie were here, Linda set up a lovely tea (hot chocolate) party in Shipshewana. We had such a great time!

Betsy had a little too much to drink.

Fruit Picking

One thing we love about living here is that we are in the "Fruit Belt." Jessie and Mom came for a visit and we went cherry picking and peach picking. These cherries became the most delicious pie I have ever made (with Mom and Jessie's help!).
