Birthday Ice Cream

What better way to celebrate my birthday, than to get ice cream with my two favorite kiddos. Jonathan didn't really want to go to school today because I think he thought he was going to miss out on something fun since it was birthday. I told him that all I wanted to do was get ice cream with him after school. Diana got excited and kept saying all day, "go get bro-bro, superman." She wanted superman ice cream from UDF. When we picked up Jonathan, he had been thinking orange leaf instead. Since it was my birthday and I didn't want a fight, we got Diana's UDF and then we went to Orange Leaf. Jonathan was a little disappointed because they didn't have the birthday cake flavor, which made since why he wanted to go there. Such a thoughtful young man!

Cousin Noah!

We welcomed a new cousin today! Noah Titus Hoehn Low. He was born at 9:09am, weighed in at 5lbs 13 oz, and length of 19". Both Auntie Heidi and baby Noah are doing great! We are so excited for everyone!!!

First School Work

Jonathan came home with his first Kindergarten school work today.

Kids are Famous

The kids made the paper! We went to the "Touch-a-truck" event at Montgomery Park back in July and while we were there we ran into our photographer (who did the last couple family photos of us). She was covering the event for the Cincinnati Enquirer and took a picture of the kids. She had mentioned she would try to get them in the paper but I had no idea it would be on the cover page of the local section, let alone as big as it was and in color. How very cool! I remember when she took the picture as Jonathan wanted to look at her, which is what we ask of him for the family pictures, and she had to tell him to look away. Too cute!

Swimming with GB

The kids sure have enjoyed swimming at GB and Grandpa's pool this summer. We didn't get up there as many Monday's as I would have liked. Today we got to swim with Natalie too!

GB & Grandpa Weeks Pool Party

GB & Grandpa Weeks watched the kids tonight for us while we went to a wedding. Luckily for the kids, their pool was having a party tonight. The kids got their faces painted, which I think is the first time for both, for sure for Diana. Diana choose a butterfly and Jonathan asked for a peregrine falcon. GB told me that the girl painting was probably in high school, had never done a falcon before but said she could find a picture on her phone and try and do it. This girl has some talent! Diana talked about her butterfly, and would point to her forehead for days. Thanks GB & Grandpa for the sleepover!

Lowe's Build-and-Grow

Planes to add to our collection. The kids are really enjoying these events.
