August Days


Grandpa and his girls

Grandma and her girls

Wow! I can't believe that Eden is 1 month old already. I also can't believe that my Mom has been gone for 2 weeks. She did so much for us while she was here and we really appreciate it. Thanks, Mom! She and Grace read ALOT of books. Grace's favorite one was the 'Grocery Store' book. They read it multiple times a day. Since Mom has left we have only read it twice. Nothing is quite as fun unless it's with Grandma. We also froze corn and peaches while Mom was here. One night it stormed through the night so the next day, the three of us picked up sticks in our yard and our neighbors' yards. I don't think my house has ever been so clean, (and probably won't until the next kid:))
The day Mom and Dad were leaving Grace happened to be spinning around in church. She went to her dad and promptly puked all over him, her, and the assembly floor. I got the cleanup duty and we made a fast exit. Thankfully she wasn't sick, but unfortunately the Koch stomach lives on.
Grace has been riding her bike around alot lately. If we are outside, all she wants to do is go on a bike ride. This works out great for me since I need the exercise. We have also been working on potty training which is going okay:S Feel free to let me know if you have any great advice. I've noticed lately that although it may be hot during the day, the nights are cooling off quite a bit. This saddens me a little that winter is coming. Seasons come and seasons go

Summer Days


Nothing beats Summer days like fresh corn on the cob!


Grace loves feeding Eden, but I'm not sure the feeling is mutual.

Matching dresses that Aunt Jenny made.


So Cute! They wore them to church for Eden's first Sunday and received many complements.

Today we went to the Splash Park in Morris with the Grandmas and the Cousins and Jody. It was a good, hot day for this.

Eden cashed out in Jody's arms.


Tiff and Grace - typical girls sunbathing

My mom is here for another week. We sure are getting spoiled by having her here. It has been so nice though, and much has gotten done. Rustin left for Colorado last night so we are extra thankful that Grandma is here. Reality will hit next week when Grace won't have undevided attention and I won't have a 24 hour nanny!
