Labor Day weekend

Labor Day weekend began with a cookout at our friend's house.  A rare moment in the night when Stella and Elizabeth sat still.  Many of her other friends were there too and they all had a great time. 
We went to a festival on Sunday.  Stella really enjoyed herself. And it wasn't too hot, so I did okay too.  Of course I couldn't go on any of the rides with her (and I wanted too)  so Dad had to squeeze himself into some things that might not have been too comfortable. Like the train ride and the helicopter ride.  So funny. What a good sport...thanks Dad!
There were many trucks there on display for kids to explore and so Stella got to sit in a cab of one. 
Stella's first ever pony ride...I did get to walk her around on this one.  She wasn't too sure she wanted to get on this small beast at first, but then, just like many kids, she didn't want it to end. 
And the helicopter ride...Stella loved this one and smiled the whole time.  What an awesome feeling it is to watch your child enjoy something so much.  Certainly those smiles of pure enjoyment are what I now live for. 
Side note:  I'm 36 weeks along now and am very much looking forward to Sept. 27th!  20 more days!

  1. too cute. we took landon to the fair a couple months ago and he rode his first ride. i was tearing up because he was having so much fun. that feeling is one that doesn't compare to anything else. to know your child is having fun melts your heart doesn't it? good luck these next few weeks. wish I was there to fix you a meal after your little sweetie arrives. but it looks like you have a GREAT group of girls doing that for you:) so happy for you and randy! miss you guys (and millie too)
