August (or the 1st half)

I've been pretty bad at uploading pics from the camera and blogging. I'm going to try and do a decent recap of our last month or so. So much has transpired in our lives and Amelia is changing so fast that it is making me sad. So let me take you back to August, yes August. For those who really know me it is no surprise that I've been hording sharable moments as far back as this.

Kyle's parents and nephews came through town and we got to share a few meals with them early in August. Amelia is tasting a lemon for the first time. I was anticipating a sour face and was shocked when she couldn't get enough, you would have thought we gave her ice cream! Crazy kid. 

Olivia Patterson!!! Finally Amelia was able to meet Olivia, precious daughter of Kevin and Rebekah. The live in D.C. so it is not often that we get to see them. Olivia is about 2 mo. older that Amelia and cute as all get out. She looks just like her dad and who knew Kevin would make such a cute girl. For those who aren't familiar with the Pattersons let me introduce you. Kevin and Kyle are both from The Falls and roomed together all 4/5 yrs of college. Kevin is a guy who I have at least 2 dozen gut busting stories on, but not wanting to type all day I will just share 1 and add that he was the drummer of their band (Tuesday's Anthem) and refrain from the joke at TA's expense that I would normally add here.

Kevin broke at least 1 window in every house he lived in during college, he kept the one glass guy in CS in business. His roommates kept a total of how much money he had spent on replacing windows up in the house. This was in Kyle's room, he cocked the BB gun and pulled the trigger...nothing happened and my responsible husband mocked him for his stupidity and Kev confident that the gun was empty proved it by shooting it again, this time glass instantly spidered. 

Kevin and Rebekah the last time they were in town. 

This time we grilled out with friends.

Caleb is the big brother of this pack of girls (really just Maylee's, she is on the far right and is often thought of as Amelia's twin). Amelia like her mom probably just forgot something in this picture, or she got caught fixing her hair. Amelia was way into Micah and his beard.

whew I'm done for now. Picnik made this so easy though! Kristen your insight to these cute collages has made my day!!! You are the most blog savvy person I know! Who knew you'd turn out to be so "techie."  PS you've been holding out, what crafty business do you have up your sleeve?
