1. We had a fun visit from Grandma last week. We put her to work right away and didn't waste a minute. I think she and I are still recovering from our marathon project week. Here are a couple of the projects...aprons and new stroller covers (Lydia got a new stroller but her seat needs to be recovered already...sigh). We made Peter's baby quilt too but I didn't get a picture. It turned out perfect even with our made up pattern.

2. Daniel and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary last week too. Thanks to grandma we had a date night and bought me some new jeans! I love you Daniel. I can't imagine life any better.
3. Eliza sporting her apron and making cookies with her new rolling pin.

4. Lydia had now gone #2 in the potty twice! Look out!

5. I had a great idea to let the girls paint their own fingernails. That turned out to be way more work and mess than I thought. Grandma saw her chance and took off to clean.

6. Let's hear a big
GO COUGARS for winning their first game this season against #3 Oklahoma. We are now #9 on the AP pole. Keep it up Cougars!
7. Labor Day we went to the Colorado Springs Hot Air Balloon Festival. By the time we arrived there were already about 25 balloons up and we watched about 30 more go up. It was so neat and the girls loved seeing BIG balloons.

8. I got the Family History urge again yesterday. I spent the afternoon on the new Family Search site. Check it out again
here.
9. Eliza & Liesel took swimming lessons in August. I can't believe how much better they are after a few lessons. They especially loved the day grandma came with them and let them shower afterwords. Who would have known a shower at the Rec Center could be so entertaining.
10. Peter will be 3 months next week. He is cooing and smiling and is such a happy baby. We all just adore him.
