Dew

Our crabapple trees literally glistened in the sunshine with dew one early morning.

4 months old~

aaaaahhhhh Juliette...where has the time gone???? My sweet cherub baby is doing tummy crunches...has no motivation to roll or stand...has giggled...loves to smile....watches her big sisters constantly....always has her fingers in her mouth...hair is now past her ears and eyebrows...is content to lay on the floor and munch on her hands...and gives us sooo much joy!!! I could literally kiss her cheeks a thousand times a day...she is quite a pudgy little thing and has great cheeks! I just want her to stay little forever!

Fun in Iowa on Fall Break

Emily and Isabelle...best buddies

Jamie and Jameson

Juliette finally got to meet Aunt Linda!


and her cousin, Danielle

Always too short of a time to see everyone we want, but quality is more important!

In the car...

trips to Iowa have always seemed like an endeavor with 2...well adding an infant into the mix...it is a whole other challenge. I stayed in a seat next to Juliette...always on hand to give her a toy or plug the pacifier in.

Iowa Vs. Wisconsin

Front row gives you a whole different perspective on the game.

Juliette has started to bring everything in her hands to her mouth...she seemed to like the taste of leaves.


Juliette really enjoys being outside. She sat quietly in her bumbo, occasionally looking up to the rustling leaves in the trees and around watching her sisters play in the distance.

Autumn

Although the "peak" of the season has now passed, the trees are continue to blaze! The temperature could not be more perfect and so we have spent time outdoors having fun in the leaves.

A look down at Conner Prairie

patiently waiting to get on board. The balloon was tied down with tether straps and offered a great view. You could even see the downtown in the very far distance.

I am not really sure what this game is called with the stick and the hoop, but the kids found it most enjoyable!

Showing them how they used to clean the kitchen table...rubbing it with salt.

Conner Prairie

Isabelle and Jaden learning about what it was like to be in school in the pioneer days.

Getting to interact with farm animals was a big hit with the kids. Isabelle loved being able to hold the chicks.

Allie was having fun until she spotted a donkey on the loose. She decided to spend the rest of the time in the barn sitting in the stroller.

The girls and I met our friends, the Guffeys and a friend of hers at a living history farm located northeast of Indianapolis. We had a blast wandering around the farm (the people are in character), going on a hot air balloon ride and watching the kids play inside. What a fun afternoon!

The Miller girls really miss their Iowa cousins!

Jameson is such a ham!

Juliette finally gets a chance to meet her Uncle Brian!

and Uncle Dustin!
