Catching Up

We've been so busy I haven't updated the blog in awhile.  I go back to work next week so I'm trying to squeeze in all the family time possible.  

This is just a picture of Stella in one of her cute outfits.

I felt crafty this week and made Abram a pillow and Stella a tag-blanket.

Abram is quite the artist and has graduated from crayons to watercolors. 

I love this picture.  It was around bedtime, you can tell everyone was a little tired.

Iowa City hosted a Book Festival which we went to a few weeks ago, Abram participated in crafts and...

got to watch a puppet show.  He really enjoyed the show even though it was 90+ outside.  It must be his new summer hair cut that kept him cool.

Josh and Stella were not so thrilled about the heat and humidity!

This picture has nothing to do with the kids.  We are getting a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share this year from Given Gardens.  Josh and I worked with one of the farmers, Nathan, at Lutheran Lakeside.  We get to enjoy the fruits of their hard labor throughout the summer. 

The vegetables this week were so beautiful I had to take pictures.  Yeah for farmers!

We spent a night with Grandpa and Grandma Livermore on our way home from vacation.  Abram got right to working planting a tree with grandpa.

Planting is serious business.

Hard working men.

This last picture is of me sorting through all of Stella's clothes.  We have very generous friends and she has gotten a lot of hand-me-downs and new clothes.  Josh is not one to pick up the camera at all - so it must have been a comical sight for him to want to capture it.
