Katie and John's Wedding

We celebrated the marriage of our friends Katie and John on June 30th. The wedding was a beautiful celebration. It was wonderful to be back in Cincinnati and to visit with our friends. Jim and Peg enjoyed walking down the aisle at Bellarmine and the slow dances at the reception.

9 months!

Maggie celebrated her 9 month birthday last week by achieving many milestones. Mom walked in to find her standing up in her crib. Now Maggie can't get enough of standing, even practicing in the middle of the night. She also figured out how to get her knees coordinated and is officially crawling! Having her hair cut was another first. Mom was very nervous and Dad helped her hold still. Maggie's new bangs are only a little bit crooked!

Oh, the places you'll go

Today Maggie discovered the nook in her room with all of her stuffed animals. She was delighted to learn they come out of the basket and some of them even make sounds. Maggie was fascinated by all of them, but especially by those with a tag. What an exciting world awaits!

Proud of her discovery.

Family Fun

We had a fun, relaxing visit from MawMaw and PawPaw this weekend. It was great to show them our new home and explore NEPA (Northeast PA). Saturday afternoon we ventured down to Rickett's Glen state park, which is about an hour south of Tunkhannock. We had a lovely picnic and then took a scenic hike on Falls Trail. Sunday, Jim and Paul were busy around the house fixing the hose, rebuilding the rock wall and installing the hammock. We sure appreciated all the help!

Fueling up for our hike.

Jim received his Father's Day gift a little early.

Maggie was exhausted from all the hard work of being carried.
