hello again

So I've been on a bit of a blog hiatus the last couple months. I've got some posts with pics coming soon but here's a little bit of what we've been up to, in no particular order:

Eloise turned ONE.
And then Ethan turned THREE.
We had a girly birthday party for baby girl.
And an elevator party for our little man.
Grandpa Todd & Grandma Bonnie came to visit.
We finished up our squirrel capturing adventure. Final count: 12.
We went to Omaha and spent Memorial Day weekend with 20 friends and their 11 kids. 
We had the old house basement painted, since it still has NOT sold.
Grandma Sheila spent a week with us.
Eloise had one ear infection in May and now has another.
We had our pest guys come to spray for spiders. 
Ethan continued to work on potty training. Focus now is #2.
We celebrated lots of birthdays of our friends and family. 
Ethan went to the dentist for the first time and let the "dentist doctor tickle his teeth."
We had the roof by our chimney fixed.
Eloise started to master going up the stairs.
Ethan has been using very fond of the word "just." He "just" needs to go potty and "just" needs some privacy.
Eloise started bravely trying to take a few steps, just in the last week.
We went on vacation to Minnesota and swam in the lake every day.

So that's a little bit of where we've been. More posts to come soon!
