Well, yesterday was my 30th birthday.  So I am now older than my mom, who says she is 29.  Actually, I had a pretty good day.  I got up and went running, and when I came back, I found a Happy Birthday note on the front door.  Keith had written 30 things he loves about [...]

Here is Peytra’s dress for today.  This one is really nice because not only is it really cute, but it’s also really comfortable.  It’s made out of regular t-shirt fabric or something, so it’s not scratchy to her or anyone holding her.  Keith’s mom got it for her.  I also have planned out her dresses [...]

Here is our deck that is mostly finished.  Keith did most of the work, with the help of a neighbor.  The only things left to be done are to put a board across the top of the railing to set our drinks on, and to put some decorative tops on the posts, as well as [...]

Peytra had her 2-month doctor appointment yesterday.  She is 23 1/2 inches long, whichis in the 80th percentile, approximately, but her weight takes the cake at 13 pounds, 13 ounces, which is the 99th percentile for her age!  All she eats is breastmilk, though, so it’s not like she’s munching on Doritos and brownies while she [...]

My sister Gina gave me this Hotsling as a gift before Peytra was born.  It’s just one piece of fabric, literally like a sling.  It works best for doing things around the house when I need some extra hands. 
The title of this post is “hot” not only because of the Hotsling, but also because it [...]

Yesterday, Stryker and I went strawberry picking at the Fideler Farm in Kewaskum.  This is the third year that the two of us have gone together, and the previous two years, Stryker really enjoyed it and came home with a juicy red face.  This time, however, he was excited to go to the farm, but only [...]

Now all the grandparents have finally met Peytra.  So here are pictures of all of them.  This is a picture of the Hagy Grandparents with the kids at Keith’s last soccer game of this year.
 
Here is a picture of the Traska Grandparents when they came to visit us at the beginning of June. 
 
And here is [...]

Peytra’s dress for this week is actually a skirt and shirt that she got from Grandma Hagy.  Here is a picture of Peytra with her cousin Gabriel, who she met for the first time on Friday.  Gabriel is 3 1/2 weeks older than Peytra.  He is very calm and quiet, while Peytra is pretty vocal [...]

We were in Winona visiting my parents for the weekend.  While we were there, Stryker and his Grandma Finke were looking at pictures I had brought.  They got to one of Peytra after she had just been born.  Grandma said, “Isn’t she beautiful?”  Stryker said, “Well, she’s naked.”  Grandma then said, “I know, but isn’t [...]

Stryker loves corn on the cob.  We discovered this when we visited my cousins the Klaustermeiers, and I didn’t cut the corn off the cob for Stryker.  I didn’t know if he would be able to eat it, but he ate the whole thing.  Then we had it a couple more times, and he loves [...]
