"Girls, come here!"








Spencer had a blast with his two cousins Karson (10), Kamille (8) when they stayed with us for a week. The first day they were here he asked all day, "Are they my cousins?" And then it turned into "girls, come here!" or "cousin Karson/Kamille, come play with me." Spencer was no longer the one man band. He was very excited to have his cousins playing other instruments with him. He always had to have the drum of course. Kamille would try and play it, but when he heard her, he was racing to take the stick out of her hand. We took a trip to the zoo where the girls loved the new playground we have there. It's a huge tree with tunnels, a bridge and a couple of slides. It was a little hot that week so one day we went to a park in Middleton that has a "splash/water area." I forgot my camera that day:( We also did the water thing at our house with the little pool and sprinkler. On the last day they were here, we went to the butterfly exhibit at Olbrich Gardens.

Hazel Green Grandma and Grandpa Kruser

Spencer and I made a trip to Hazel Green one afternoon to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Kruser. We brought our little pool and Spencer splashed around in it in the front yard. My parents live along Hwy 80, which is very busy with traffic going to Iowa and Illinois (especially semi trucks and farm tractors), so Spencer was in heaven enjoying all the loud traffic. We also had fun watching the sparrows swooping in and out of their nest to feed the baby birds. They made their nest at the top of some chimes on the front porch.

Hi family and friends! We've finally gotten our blog page up and running. I thought this would be a great way for everyone to check in and see what's happening with us since we don't see each other on a daily basis. I'm still in the process of feeling this blog thing out so we'll see how it goes! I also have to learn how to download the pictures from our camera (Jason does it all the time:) to the computer. Hope everyone is doing well and check back at the end of the week for more pictures.
Love,
The Harringtons
