Misc August

We're up to our necks in construction dust as we renovate the last two bedrooms upstairs and replace carpeting on the stairwell. Pictures of that to come. Meanwhile, the kids are adjusting well to our torn-apart house.



C is 9 months old.



With some of the cousins at Grandparents Kretzing's 50th anniversary celebration


C's Latest Tricks: Wrist-shaking maraca-playing and mimicking "uh-oh" (Perhaps, I say that too much.) :)

Penn State

We took a trip to visit S's alma mater and met up with one of his landscape architecture classmates and his family. What a scenic drive to State College, PA and what a beautiful campus!


Kristi, Matt and Molly (5 months) on the lawn in front of Old Main




The new architecture/landscape architecture building at Penn State. Too bad the l.arch. building didn't look anything like this when S and Matt were earning their degrees.

C's first PSU duds


They were drowsy heading to bed, but then giggles and a second wind came about once A and C realized they were going to sleep in the same bed together. A sleepover? Hooray!!!




Finally. It was peaceful for the first few hours until the baby-toddler 90-degree-turn-kick-mom-in-the-back-all-night began.
