Anna is Crawling!

Anna has been crawling around for a little over a month now but we have yet to get a good video of her. Every time we turn the camera on, she freezes. So this is the best one we have. She's really growing up.

Blackberries

We went to Eckert's today and had so much fun! It's this place in Illinois where you can go and pick fruit and pay by the pound. Unfortunately we just missed the peaches but we did get some delicious blackberries!! It was really fun.
I was really surprised when I looked down at my hands after only picking a few berries and they were stained red. Throughout the day, they just kept getting darker and darker. Then I look over at my husband and his hands were glistening clean!! I couldn't quite figure out how he became such and expert berry picker. Who knows, maybe this is a good career for him. His bucket had the most perfect round blackberries while mine were kind of falling apart and such. I guess he's really got a knack for it.
We're going to make homemade ice-cream tonight with the berries, blackberry jam, and freeze some for smoothies. It was really fun. We're really glad we went.

We just had to eat some! They were delicious.

Funny Faces

So, no one takes a perfect picture all of the time. In Anna's case, we seem to take about 20 pictures to get the perfect one. She's only about six and a half months old, but we've got quite a collection of funny pictures. We thought it would be fun for you to see them. You can just really see her little personality shining through. Check it out.

These are her sneezing pictures. She seems to do that a lot.

We Just Love this Girl!
