Greenfield Village with Bes and Tasse

Karen's grandma Bess (which is short for Bestemor - the Norwegian word for Grandma) and her aunt Tasse are visiting us from Norway and it has been a lot of fun so far. Yesterday we went to Greenfield Village and here are some of the pictures.



We have a "prarie wagon" wagon which got lots of comments from people. It worked well for a mobile sleeping chamber for Amilia later in the day when she finally decided she was exhausted enough to sleep.

Patrick and Tasse at the Firestone Farm.

Bess, Amilia and Tasse.


Not sure who these two clowns are, they must have gotten in the way of the camera.

Isabela, Amilia, Tasse, Julia and Karen.


Amilia is a little spoiled but liked the shoulder ride.


Probably hard to see, but Amilia is laying down in the covered wagon.


The merry-go-round.


Amilia caught her chicken. She enjoyed the merry-go-round but never cracked a smile. When we were done, she got quite upset that we wouldn't let her get back on it. :)


Grandma and Grandchild. Plus two random guys we may or may not have asked to pose for the picture.


Waiting in line for the Model T ride. Daddy couldn't go because Amilia was sleeping. :)


Having fun!


Isabela and Tasse.


Leaving Greenfield Village. Isabela thought she'd jump into the picture.

Anniversary and New Beginnings


Happy Anniversary to us! 5 blissful years of being a family - and looking forward to many more! We're having so much fun with our three girls - and look forward to adding another one sometime in the somewhat near/somewhat distant future. Yes, everyone - the Eggers are starting the adoption process again! We're taking it slow, but very excited to be on the journey to Ethiopia again!

Blowing kisses!



Jill really wanted her cupboards reorganized by Mia...


Cuteness!


"What? Me, a bully? No, I'm just hanging out with my friend Em here!"


"Who brought this bully over to my house?" Poor Emmy...

Isabela's Volleyball Game

Just a quick post to show a couple pictures of Isabela playing volleyball. She's quite good at passing and setting and has a good serve, too. It will be fun to play with her at open volleyball when she's older.

Amilia, however, did not enjoy the game. She spent most of the time screaming and throwing a temper tantrum. She and I sort of watched 1.5 games out of the first 3 games. We went out to the car for games 4-6.
