Let the Good Times Roll, Part 2: October

     Like I said, October was a busy month for us and we had a lot of good times that haven't made it on the blog yet. We had family in from out of town a couple times during the month, and it was a lot of fun getting to see everyone!

     At the beginning of the month Austin's sister Abby, her husband Adrian, and our nephew Linus made a trip to Kansas from their home in North Carolina. We are always excited to see them, but we were extra excited this time because Abby is pregnant with baby number two! While they were here Heidi threw a Baby 'Sprinkle' for her. As always, Heidi threw a great party. There was tasty food, cute decorations, and she had supplies for us to make personalized onsies for Miss E., which was very cute. It was a lot of fun visiting with everyone and getting to see Abby's baby belly!



Attia even made a new friend :-)




That same weekend Austin road Octoginta, the annual 80 mile ride and time trial sponsored by Lawrence Bicycle Club. This is Austin's second year in a row to participate. 







The following week my mom and D. came in for a visit. They were very excited to see Attia for the first time in several months and it was a lot of fun having them in town. After they were here for a couple of days my brother joined the party. He was just finishing up a road trip across the southwest/southern midwest, and was on his way back home to Boulder, CO. It was really nice that they were all able to be here together!










And then of course there were the random good times just hanging out and playing. Attia continues to learn new skills and enjoy new things all the time. 

By the end of the month she was even playing the piano! She loves to sit with us and play on the keyboard, and sometimes she even tries to hit the keys that we hit. Maybe she will take lessons like her mommy?





 



Let the good times roll...

Attia's Fourth Month

3 Months Old!
June 1, 2011
     As June rolled around things slowed down a little, which was nice. Unfortunately, it also marked the end of my maternity leave. As the end drew closer I dreaded it more, and squeezed in as many walks as we could while we still had every day together. Austin was finished working at Central Junior High for the school year and was starting his summer job, so in the second week of June we started our summer schedule. Austin would watch Attia on Tuesdays and Thursdays while I was at work in Kansas City, and I would take care of her on MWF while I worked from home. It was a little weird going back to the office after several months, but our schedule worked out well and I was super happy to still get to be with Attia most days!

     The biggest highlights of the month were Austin's first Father's Day and Amma's 80th Birthday (Austin's Grandma, Attia's Great-Grandma). The Lawrence Elsers got together with Marsha, Terry & Amma at Gram & Grumps house for Amma's birthday celebration. Attia loved seeing her cousin Jack there!

Here are some photos from Amma's Birthday Party:

Attia and Jack really liked each other!

She thought he was pretty cool!

And Uncle Drew was fun too!
