2 Omas!

Kendley, Miles and I took short vacation to visit my Oma in Delaware last week.  I was brave and flew with the two kids solo to Charlotte, met up with my sister, and then we all flew to BWI where we met up with our parents.   It was great to see my mom's side of the family and especially fun to hang out with my Oma.  We don't get to visit often enough!  Kendley still is in shock that there are 2 Omas in her life!  Everyday we were in DE and since we have been home, I hear her yell "2 OMAS!".  While we were there, we also took a trip to the beach.  Kendley had a BLAST.  Here are just a few pics from the visit.

 In KCI Kendley kept putting the bags back on the luggage pickup so she could watch them come around

 Kendley isn't sure what Aunt Sissa is doing (neither am I!)

 "Waves, COME!"

Miles 3 Months

I can't believe that Miles is already 3 months old!  Time is just flying by.  Jeff and I often have to remind ourselves to slow down and enjoy the moment.  A few weeks ago our friend/photographer 

Ashley took these great photos of our family.  Looking at these makes me smile :)  We hope they make you smile too!  

 The tools in the background are Miles Great Grandpa Elchert's and Great Grandpa Faber's

Miles Baptism

This weekend, some of Jeff's family traveled to Kansas City to participate in Miles' baptism.  Jeff and I enjoyed having everyone here, and I know Kendley and Miles always love to hangout with their aunt, uncles and cousins!  Beth, Chris, Tyler and Avery got in on Friday and we took the kids to gymnastics open gym.  Kendley and Avery enjoyed following each other around and holding hands.  Tyler liked running and jumping on anything and everything he could! Miles liked hanging out with mommy in the baby bjorn.  Friday night, Nana, Grumpy and Uncle JoJo arrived and Saturday was Miles' big day!  Sunday, we were also able to spend some time with Jeff's other brother Danny and his girlfriend Ashley.  Thanks for coming everyone!!!
