6 Months Old

Abel is now half a year old! He really is growing like crazy. He is 27 1/4 inches long, and 19 lbs 8oz (that is about what Norah and Silas weighed at 12 months). He is super happy and loves it when his siblings talk to him and make him laugh. Abel is rolling around on the floor. I think we have plenty of time before he crawls. No teeth yet , but we can tell some are coming. We are trying to figure out what his hair and eye color will be. It really depends on the light, especially with his eyes. They look either blue or green. Overall, Abel is such a blessing and we can't wait to see what he does next.






Race the Lake 2016

Another 90 mile race is in the books for Seth. He did a great job. He finished 175 out of 1,000 with a time of 3hours 48 minutes and 49 seconds. It is about 12 minutes faster then last year. We're proud of you Seth!





At the Cabin 2016

Another vacation that we always look forward to in the summer is going to the cabin. We had an amazing time!


Silas and Seth tried out their new snorkels and flippers with Norah. 



Abel was happy as ever.


Lucy had a blast swimming this summer. Last year she was afraid of the little minnows, but this year she didn't mind.



Post beach nap.



We loved kayak and canoe rides.






S'mores!




We loved our time with our Johnson cousins.




We had beautiful weather. Only one rainy day and the rest were warm sunny days.



Beach nap. He was such a trooper napping at the beach so the big kids could swim.






The girls loved fishing with Seth.



Abel, Cole, Beau, and Silas.



And of course, Corner Store ice cream!






Beau helped Seth fillet all the fish everyone caught.






We were thankful to have some days with Grandma Joyce.




Sand castle building.








What a wonderful vacation. We can't wait to go back!
