It's August right? No!? What? It's September?

 That's what I feel like. Time whipping by right before my eyes. Sometimes it seems like the girls are growing so quick and then other times, they're just still so little. I like the latter thought better than the first thought. Oh and just so you know, we officially have no more babies in our house. Juliana is a little mama now to any and all babies who come within reach of her. So if you have a baby, please keep your distance because she will smother your sweet one.

We took a quick trip to Sioux Falls and they have this awesome "natural" water park. We're finding out we (or YOU) could vacation in Sioux Falls for a couple of days, there's so much to do.

 This is a little house for a pet, (clear throat) excuse me, a little girl. 

 Rainbows are a new and beautiful thing to us. They were rare to see in Chicago.

 We got a couple more days of swimming in before they officially closed forever the little kiddie pool down the road from us. They will be opening a new waterpark in the center of town next summer.

 At the beginning of the summer, ConLai attempted Level 1 of swimming lessons. By the end of the summer, she began to put her head in the water and become more brave.

We had the honor of Anthony's brother Nathan and his family visiting for a few days in August. It was a special time together. We enjoyed them so much!

 Please look closely at Kenan's face. He braved the rocket slide and was smiling by the time he got to the bottom. Can you believe he went down again and again after this first time experience? This is Nathan and Lois' youngest boy. If you'd like to know what Anthony looked like at age 5, look at Kenan.

 You know you have a good uncle when he reads Cinderella to you.

Awesome playmates!

 More playmates. :)

 And more playmates.

 A sweet lady in church offered to babysit for us while we went out on a date for our anniversary. We wanted to try the tandem bike that's available to the public, but it was in the shop. So, we went to the park.

 Have you ever wondered what Anthony would look like with hair? Or did we tell you he grew it out again?
