Everything seems to be going swimmingly or should we say sprinklery. Alanna is having a blast spending her summer at our friend Mandi and Troys instead of daycare. She gets to play with their two boys Riley and Logan. She is learning baseball and many other sports. She also seems to have Troy whipped in to shape when it comes to playing jump rope and chalking on their driveway. She enjoys hanging out with Mandi because they play alot of boardgames. Of course how it would be, Mandi has managed to get Alanna to try new food and hey guess what??? She actually likes it. What a goofy kid.

Alanna has lost yet another tooth. This makes a total of 7 and 5 of them have been since March. She has 1 that is still loose, hopefully this one will hang out a little longer.

3 1/2 Weeks to go before Small Fry arrives....well roughly. Crystal is still working and planning on working until the last minute arrives. We are hopping that the baby arrives close to the Due date as possible we would actually prefer a little late. Alanna has registration for school on 8/17 and 8/18 so we are hoping to be able to make it past those dates. Crystal has had some contractions and her doctor said that there is a little progression. She could feel Small Fry's head and that he of course is head down. We have come up with a couple names but those could all quickly change at time of birth.

We have had a few people ask if we have registered anywhere. Being the second baby we really hadn't thought about it but upon some prodding from friends who said we need to we registered at Target. The items on there are things we need in general not necessarily the exact item please feel free to use it as a guideline if you are interested.

We have visited a couple of the county fairs this summer. Alanna loves looking at the animals. At the La Crosse Interstate Fair Alanna tried to pet ALL the animals. I think she like the piggys and the goats the most. Mark and Alanna rode the Farris Wheel. She had a blast. We will update with pictures soon.

Well that's it for now. We will try and keep everyone updated as to the baby status. Keep in touch.

Love you all.
