O-H, the places we'll go: Wood and Water
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2015/08/wood-and-water.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Saturday, August 1, 2015. The day after our adventurous hike, our church did a Habitat for Humanity house-framing build in their parking lot. We were broken out into about 10 teams and we knocked out (I think) 37 walls in a couple of hours. Owen even got to swing the hammer a few times. It was a hot morning, but they provided breakfast and lunch for us and lots of water! A few days after that, we picnicked at the park with friends after swim lessons. While eating our sandwic...

O-H, the places we'll go: September 2014

O-H, the places we'll go. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The Family That Bikes Together. Since Owen kicked the training wheels earlier this summer, we've all had to find a way to keep up with him, which meant bikes all around! We take a family bike ride around the neighborhood probably 3 times a week or so. September is perfect for that! Hadley enjoys the bike trailer, although she'd prefer to be on her (Owen's old) Strider. She is starting to pick up her feet to glide, so maybe by next summer! The highlig...

O-H, the places we'll go: July 2014
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Monday, July 28, 2014. We've stayed close to home for July, and it's been pretty warm (for up north), so we've been trying to stay cool. Sometimes that means playing/drinking in the sprinkler,. Hiding indoors in the A/C,. Or traveling to the splash park. Owen loves it, but Hadley is still not sure about the big structure. Here she changed her mind at the last minute when Owen was going to help her up the stairs. Notice his look of bewilderment! Finally, for those interested, we'...

O-H, the places we'll go: Spring in Texas, Austin Return
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-in-texas-austin-return.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Spring in Texas, Austin Return. Our return flight was out of Austin, so we headed back there on Saturday to spend our last 30-ish hours in Texas near our old home. Our first stop was at the Tylers' house to recreate. From 2 years ago, this time outside with Juan. It was a little chilly and overcast, but the kids had fun playing outside and inside together. Perfect in another year. Our flight out wasn't until early afternoon, so we had all morning to find...

Simek Family: September 2010
http://simek-family.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
All things going on with us and our expanding family. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. A Watched Pot Never Boils. Here are the headlines. 1 I have not given birth yet. 2 We have selected a name. Brody Lynn Simek. We selected Brody becuase we both liked it and Lynn is Chris' middle name, named after his Uncle (and god father). We did realize that he will likely get called "Grody Brody" but life's rough and this adversity will help him develop a thick skin. 4 Are we ready? I know that we have lots of baby good...

Simek Family: Brody's Big Adventure
http://simek-family.blogspot.com/2011/06/brodys-big-adventure.html
All things going on with us and our expanding family. Thursday, June 2, 2011. Here is Brody on his first flight. He did pretty well, with a minimal amount of fussing. The lady in the background even told us at the end of the flight how good he did. She admitted she was looking to change seats as soon as she saw us sit down with a baby. I don't really blame her as I was prepared for the worst too! Here is Lexi telling Brody all about her favorite food. Ice Cream! She is such a cutie pie. And if you didn't...

All things going on with us and our expanding family. Saturday, August 14, 2010. Showered with Love and Generosity. This post is a long one so settle in……. Chris and I are blessed to have a lot of family and friends who are just as excited about the baby as we are. I had 2 showers that gathered friends and family recently and am truly thankful for all the generosity and efforts that were involved. Here I am with Jennifer and Whitney, the 2 hostesses. And I did eat “for two” that day. Fisher Price is rema...

Simek Family: March 2011
http://simek-family.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
All things going on with us and our expanding family. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. So, it's no coincidence that I have not updated this blog in 5 months. Guess how old Brody is? 5 months. This just in.babies take up a lot of time. And the time you have left after the baby's needs are met is mostly spent recuperating from energy you just spent taking care of the baby. Here is Brody right after he was born. I think I am smiling at the anesthesiologist! Brody a week or so old. 1 5 months old. This photo was used...
