July 4th

Here are some more pics from our trip to Madison.

All the Newells..
Sweet polka dot Claire
Carson had SO much fun with his cousins ( I was just making sure he didn't fall in the fish pond).
Daniel's mom celebrated her 60th birthday on the 4th of July. Here is a blanket from the grandkids, it brought tears to her eyes.
Carson enjoying the pool...
And a lollipop!

Claire is Three Months

I can't believe our little peanut is 3 months old ALREADY! She is such a wonderful little thing. She's sleeping 11+ hours now at night and naps amazingly throughout the day. She's already on a 4 hour eating schedule and I can't express how amazing that is for this nursing mama!



Here is a video of her having some tummy time...

A visit to Madison

We headed back to Madison, IN, our hometown for a visit to see family and to celebrate Nancy's (Daniel's mom) 60th birthday! Here are some pics from our trip (more to come later when I get them from other family members since I forgot my camera).

Claire meets her great gramma...
Carson and Landon enjoyed many tractor rides with my dad...

Proud grandpaThey were teaching grandpa that it's cool to suck your fingers :)

Art project

I needed an outline of a little kid for an activity in our preschool classroom for church so, Carson's little body was perfect....


Then it turned into a fun coloring project including his best friends, Larry and Elmo :)

The completed project :) (Daniel enjoyed helping along with this)
