New play pen

Chris and I got a pool on clearance and decided to blow it up ourselves.  It took a few hours but we got it done.  (Chris did most of it, I was getting light headed!)

Beach Baby!

Daddy and Nolan

First taste of sand

This summer was a summer of a lot of 'firsts' with Nolan including his first day at the Grandpa Moore's house out at Lutheran Lake.

OK, so Nolan's in bed.  It's actually kinda early for him to be in bed but he was literally asking for it.  To catch you up on summer since its almost over, I may just do with pictures....

Christopher and I went to Nauvoo in... well now I don't even remember, hold on.....May 22 to be sealed as a family.  We even decided to take a bike ride to see the sunset and it nearly killed us.  Nolan was wonderful inside and did raspberries the entire time the sealer was talking so I don't actually remember a lot he said.  Turned out too, that the sealer was a previous Indianapolis Mission President! It is such a small world!

I am now a blogger...
