We're back!

OK, so it's been a few months since we've posted anything! SORRY!

We've been busy to say the least. Reese's 1st birthday was great fun. She had lots of friends and family in town to help her celebrate.

























We went camping for Grandma Arlene's birthday. It was fun playing with my aunts, uncles, and cousins! AND sleeping in a tent!










We took our annual trips to the Sweetcorn Festival and Freeman Farms.

















We also took a fun trip to the Columbus Zoo. (I've been there a lot! Even on Halloween!)


Can't wait for Thanksgiving! We're going to get to see my cousins Brody and Madison and Grandma and Grandpa Truitt!

We promise to share more again soon. Bye bye!

Round Lake Pics

Hey everybody,

Just thought we'd share a few pictures with you from Round Lake. Reese did amazingly well all week long at camp. It was so much fun watching her experiencing everything from smelling her first flower, to swimming in a lake, to eating corn dogs and cotton candy! She loved the music, the outdoors, and the kids! We are pretty sure every camper knew Reese's name, even if they didn't know ours! In a microcosm, now we have a small idea what it's like having a child celebrity! Those camper paparazzi were everywhere! Not sure how those pics turned out, but here are a few we (and some of our friends) took.





If you're wondering, we did not have to sleep on bunk beds. We were lucky enough to get a small room where we slept on our queen-sized air mattress. Reese slept in her pack-n-play. The room was in the big conference center, which is used as a girls dorm during our week. So I got to trek down their hill and up the boys hill each day to take a shower. It was worth it though! Reese got most of her naps in, either sleeping in our room or zonking out in the stroller. We got her to sleep each night by taking her on walks away from the commotion of 191 5th & 6th graders!

So it was a bit of extra work (and extra packing) on our part. But it was definitely worth it! Reese is going to grow up a camp-kid for sure!
