Harvest Time!

We are officially done harvesting wheat!!!! It feels like it went quick, but I think that is due to the great harvesting weather and having a weekend in the middle. The guys might think differently, but I'm sticking to my story! It started off slow, but it was full-blown work time come Monday morning. My parents and grandparents came down to help, so Kalyn has been spoiled by many grandma's this week! Here are a few pics from Kalyn's first harvest...

Happy Father's Day!

We would like to wish a very Happy Father's Day to the new Daddy and Grandpa's out there! Here are some pics we took for the grandpa's and the pic for Shaun from Kalyn. I think she's saying, "Watch out, Daddy! I'm going to be playing with these very soon!"

4 inches of rain...

and harvest has been delayed. The guys had hoped to try to cut last Saturday, but then the humidity and rain had other plans for them. So, four inches of rain later, we are still on hold, but hoping for some HOT, WINDY weather in the next couple of days to dry things out. One of Shaun's fields is under water (so I hear) and the ground is pretty soupy. We need to take a drive and check out the fields, so Kalyn may experience her first jeep ride this evening.

Shaun and I were able to head to Topeka Saturday afternoon for a quick visit. We were able to eat dinner with my parents, brother and his family, grandparents and a couple that is considered part of the family. We were also able to enjoy church at Topeka Baptist (it's been WAY TOO LONG since we were able to go).


Kalyn turns 4 weeks old today and 1 month on Thursday. I can't believe how fast time flies!!!!! She's growing like a weed and dirtying laundry faster than I can wash it :0). She's focusing in and aware of the voices and people around her. It's so fun to watch her grow!

Growing Big!

Today is Kalyn's 3 week b-day and it doesn't seem like that's possible! I feel like she is growing a little everyday and that she is quickly outgrowing some of her clothes. Our goal: wear each outfit at least once! (And that may be difficult considering the number of outfits packed into her dresser drawers!!!!) So far, she is a very good baby! She sleeps A LOT and is only up a couple of times during the night to eat and usually falls right back asleep.
We are enjoying Kristen, Alan and Kinslie being around. Kinslie is still learning what "gentle" touches are, but enjoys stealing Kalyn's socks and crawling away as fast as she can. Kalyn and I made our first trip to Topeka with Kristen and Kinslie last week and we were able to have all three cousins together for the first time.

Harvest is quickly approaching. We were expecting them to start the end of this week, but we had a nice rain and a cool day, which may delay it a few days. It sure was nice to have the windows and doors open all day! Hopefully I'll find time to post pics of Kalyn's first harvest once it is underway!
