Maybe the Last Post

So as Boothe's due date rapidly approaches (13 days from today), and Magnolia was born 2 weeks early, are are expecting our new little one any day now. We will have a brand new blog, focused on both of our girls premiering once Boothe does arrive. We will post a link to the new blog on this blog so you can either change your bookmark or reference this blog each time you want to view the new one. Our hope is that we can manage to keep up posts better on the new blog as this one has slacked from time to time...oops! But with 2 little ones, we make no promises! Keep the great comments coming and we will keep you updated with news of Boothe!

Just a Day Around the House

Donut Time Again

Daddy got donuts for breakfast before church and Magnolia discovered a new way to enjoy her iced cream field one....from the top down. She skipped the boring edges and went right for the best part, obviously...

Memorial Day Parade

We had a great time on Memorial Day, going to Milford, Indiana (Grandpa Cory's hometown) for the parade. It was Magnolia's first parade and she absolutely loved it! The tractors, the go karts, the clowns, and especially all of the candy being thrown at her! Magnolia also loved spending time with Grandpa Cory's sister Diane and her family. It was so much fun seeing everyone. Unfortunately, the parade was the perfect storm of ill-prepared photographers (one forgotten photo card, one forgotten camera battery, one forgotten camera). But once we got back to Diane's house for lunch, we got some batteries and got a couple of shots to remember the day by.

Magnolia liked the clowns at the parade so much, cousin Greg kept up the act for her.

Family Reunion and the Children's Museum

Mimi's side of the family got together for a long weekend on the Lake in Benton Harbor, MI. It's always a fun time with that crew and was especially fun this year to watch the interaction between the little ones of the next generation!Image
