this, that, and the other.

there is a lot that i could write about but i feel rushed today. so many things waiting to be checked off the list. packing, cleaning, laundry, yada yada yada. lane just went down for a nap so the clock is ticking! promise that one of these days i'll actually write something with some significance...until then here are some pictures of our busy week!

lane figured out that the you can look at the picture on the back of the camera after its taken. so these days i'm getting A LOT of face shots. he instantly grabs the camera, turns it around to talk about the picture.


lane being lane.










weekend tradition. he LOVES sitting on dada's lap while he eats breakfast on saturdays and sundays. its their little "thing."


lane started this new silly laugh/smile. he scrunches his face all together and fake laughs until it turns into a real laugh.



kitchen helper! if lane isn't eye level with whats going on he goes crazy so this is our solution. he normally gets a pile of shredded cheese and a fork and "cooks" while i get supper ready. he is pretty proud that he makes supper these days.

labor day weekend.

this was our third year of going to meade for labor day. another great time! this year was extra special because it was the last time ALL the family is together before jason and lindsey go to peru. it was a fast weekend...if we just could have slowed down time for a while!





new calendars!



swing set...a favorite amongst the littlest two.



third generation supper. the girl cousins decided to give grandma (first generation) and the aunts (second generation) a break from making supper for a night. we think it was a hit. potato bar, cheesecake bar, and chocolate covered strawberries. of course, grandma still made the sweet tea, we wouldn't dare mess with that!












4 generations of reimer men. interesting fact...all the men in this picture have had (or going to have) their second baby at thirty years old.

pics.

we always cut off lane's corn which was just fine with him until he realized he could eat off his own cob. he loved it...he ate nearly two ears!
