Sweet September

Our little family had a great September!  We had a fun weekend with Jason and Abby, and we went to a Hawkeye game with them on Saturday.  The girls enjoyed some sweet bonding with their aunt and uncle :)  I thought I had a picture of Jason and Lydia playing with her Dora doll house, but I can't find it...but just so you all know, it happened and it was so precious!

Clara's birthday was on the 24th, and Dan's parents came down to visit for the weekend.  We also took some family pictures with our 1 year old and 2 year old :)  Many of you probably saw these pictures on facebook, at least the good ones.  Here I have posted some that aren't really Christmas card worthy, but are fun to look at because you can really see our girls' personalities shine through!

Go Hawks!

Not sure how these 2 convinced me that walking 4.2 miles back to our car was a good idea.  At least we beat the train! ;)

L.O.V.E.

Happy birthday to Clara!

Time for birthday cake!

And the fun begins!

Looking for a more efficient way to eat her cake...her hands were just too slow!

Evening ride.

Next year Lydia will probably be mowing alone!

For one this is hilarious, for the other it is serious work.

She is known for having that mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Sweet baby girl!

The entertainment was not always very funny to Lydia.

Shoe problems for Lydia and kisses from Clara :)

Clara is trying to wave somebody down while Lydia's shoe problems persist.

Having a little talk about not sticking tongues out on family pictures.

Clara seems to be doing some interpretive dance while Lydia's pigtail gets Dan in the eye.

This was not fun for anybody.

Ok, let's throw in the towel on this pose.

A moment of peace...

We have to end on a good one, right?!
