10 months, almost 11

10 months!  Crawling, eating mostly table food, saying mama, dada, and amen; giving kisses, clapping her hands, signing all done, petting Indy, sleeping great, pulling up on anything vertical, and laughing at almost anything that Elise does.  Macy is a JOY! Although my bundle of joy didn't really cooperate for the 10 month picture....

Here's Macy's first real crawling success:

Fun in May

It's been a fun month!!

The warm weather gave us many afternoons to play outside in the sunshine. 

Elise came to watch us dutch dance every night of tulip time, and we had so much fun together!

Fun downtown together in our dutch costumes

Scrubbing streets before the wednesday parade with my family

Picnic dinner and playing on the beach as summer begins

Macy likes the beach as much as the rest of us do!

 Daddy and Elise's newest favorite game:  blocks!

The girls need tubbies almost every night from all of our outside fun.  They both love taking baths together!

Macy's first trip to Buchner park in Fort Wayne

All the kids had such a blast at Buchner Park. Here they're all swinging together.

Running Elise through the splash pad.  What a beautiful day for fun at the park!

The Linn family plus the Riekens ready for the Indy 500, the greatest spectacle in racing!  What a great race day:  lots of sunshine (hot!), lead changes, fast racing, and an exciting finish.  Congrats Dario!

Indy's summer cut.  He's loving less hair with the warm days.
