Today Quinn and I helped our friends pack a moving truck. They are going to Michigan. Corey is going to train to be an airplane mechanic. After their training they are going overseas. Corey is going to work on planes so that missionaries can fly and spread the Gospel to unreached places. Some exciting stuff!
I went to get Quinn after her nap and there she was standing in her crib! She pulled herself up for the first time in her crib. Earlier she pulled herself up in the bath tub. She is catching on quickly to this standing thing!
Our vegetable garden is growing like crazy! We have been able to eat a cucumber, tomatoes, and peppers (very spicy). We thought it would be amusing to see the huge squash that has come from this garden.
Quinn is pretty much past the baby food stage and is eating all sorts of "people" food. This is a picture of her trying eggs for the first time. They are a hit! Some of her other favorites are turkey, avacado, pickles, rice cakes, green beans, refried beans, and mashed potatos!
We had a nice fourth of July. We hung out with family and friends. After hamburgers and dessert we went to a friend's to set off fireworks. They were a little loud for Qunniy! There were so many going off in different directions that she got nervous. But, after awhile she calmed down and then she fell asleep on PaPa. The grown-ups set off all sorts of fireworks. We had a blast!
We left Ohio June 30th and drove to Indiana to attend Aaron and Stephanie's wedding (which was so beautiful) and then drove through the night to Texas. Jeff came with us and he drove 10 hours!!! Kate drove about 4 and then Jeff picked up the last 45 minutes. We made it to Texas at 10 Sunday morning. The drive wasn't as bad as we anticipated and Quinn did wonderful! We are enjoying our time visiting our family and the cousins are having a blast hanging out together! This is a picture of their matching outfits Aunt Karen got them.
