Father's day

First let me apologize for slacking on updating the blog. Life has been pretty busy. mostly working, trying to keep up with the yard and garden, and keeping up with Eleanor! She has totally got the crawling thing down now and is also pulling herself to stand. She's got such a personality! still loves peek a boo and clapping is oh so entertaining. She is also doing "soo big" now.

Saturday, Eleanor had a wonderful evening with my dad and Joanie, it was good to see them, it's been quite a while.

the week leading up to Father's day, Seth and I pretty much worked opposite hours so it was a nice surprise when he called me on my way home sunday and he told me he was taking off work at 4 to spend time with us! after picking up Eleanor, we were unable to get to our house (because of the parade) so we met up with Seth and went out to grandma and grandpa Rusch's and visited with the Rusch/Radunz side of the family. For father's day, Seth got a hammock (hopefully he will have some time to enjoy it!)

I haven't been as good about pictures lately, but here are a few fairly recent ones.

back with a vengence....

teething, that is. we've had a couple sleepness nights lately. let's hope the front top teeth poke through soon. otherwise, Eleanor is doing great! practicing some new sounds... her newest is a breathy "hhhhhhhahhhh" she is loving to clap a lot and doing silly things like putting her toys on her head. she is starting to pull herself up but hasn't perfected it yet. getting better at the crawling thing.

we enjoyed memorial day weekend with some relaxing at home. Seth had to work nights friday and saturday but sunday and monday were spent mowing the lawn and smoking some meat! it was nice to just chill at home as a family.

now to buckle down for the next week and a half or so. I work a lot and Seth and I are opposite most of the time.
