One Announcement, Two Pictures

We have a bit of news. Cole is going to be a big sister in September!

We're so grateful for this new little life. To announce the news to our family and friends, we bought Cole a "big sister" shirt that she received at her birthday party (more details about and pictures of the party later). When we opened the gift with the shirt in it, no one made a peep. After a few seconds, Steph asked, "Is this for real?" We assured everyone it was and then saw eyes tear up.

Last week we took some pictures of Cole in her new shirt to pass around at the party since one years olds aren't known to hold still on command.

A Visitor

My dad came to visit last Wednesday and Thursday.
Cole had an absolute ball. She loves her Pop-Pop!
We went out to eat a few times and Cole showed off her restaurant skills.
She's does really well, probably because she gets so much practice.
Other than that, we hung around the house so Cole could play with her grandpa.
