Better late than never, right?

Here are some pictures from our trip to Iowa June 29 through July 1:
1. Ella driving Grandpa's boat

2. Ella being cute in her too large life jacket

3. Ella and one of her relatives (perhaps a fourth cousin?)at the family reunion. This little guy was so completely adorable.

4. Ella and Grandma Leota. The family reunion was a big affair, with Grandma's sister, brother, and all of their offspring, too!

5. Ella and her Grandpa and Grandma. She loves them soooooo much! I wish we could see them more often!

Something to Blog About!

If you have not heard by now, I do apologize for not e-mailing...
We are having another wee Hardy due January 24th. Pretty exciting for us, and Ella is thinking of all the things she is going to do as a big sister. Last night she sang all the lulla-byes and recited every nursery rhyme she could think of to practice while we had our bath. She even read the bed-time story last night in preparation!
We do not know if it's a girl or boy, but are hoping to find out soon.
Oh, if you want to look up fun facts about pregnancy week, we are in week #14.
Have a super day!

These mean streets...

Boy in custody for lemonade stand robbery


Oshkosh police have taken a 17-year-old boy into custody in connection with the robbery of a lemonade stand on Tuesday in the 800 block of Knapp Street.


Authorities said the boy was apprehended at 9:35 p.m. Wednesday and arrested for robbery and physical abuse to a child and was then taken to the Winnebago County Jail.

Austin Cundy, 11, told police he was selling the lemonade to save money to go camping with his grandparents. Cundy said he saw two teenagers on bicycles eyeballing him as they were riding past.

About 2:45 p.m., one of the teenage boys punched Cundy, shoved him off his chair and took a plastic container with $20 in change along with Cundy’s wallet, which held his library card and student ID.

HI!

Okay, three and a half weeks is a long time to go between posts, but jeez-louise have I been busy. And not feeling very well. Bad combination!
