overseas: July 2009
http://the-oltremare.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. Mid Summer Update 2009. We have a six month old now! He's over 20 lbs, babbling away, starting to scoot around (only backwards, hasn't figured out forward movement yet) and, as always, is so sweet, happy, a good sleeper. . . we're amazingly blessed. Every morning we have a nice cuddle and after work we like to sit on the front step and watch the world go by. They're my favorite parts of my day. . We go on family walks a few times a week. A morning at the county fair. . We've had ...

overseas: December 2008
http://the-oltremare.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. 37 weeks. photobooth self-portrait. Sometimes I forget that I look like this. Then I find myself near a full length mirror and it wigs me out a little. . And then, Advent. The time when the church prepares for Jesus coming into the world as a little baby. So this Advent was super meaningful to me. . .preparing for our own little baby. I woke up the day after Christmas and just kind of felt Ready in a way I hadn't felt before. . Thursday, December 25, 2008. Yay for bosses that d...

Friedel Kids: Learning to ride a bike
http://thefriedelkids.blogspot.com/2011/04/learning-to-ride-bike.html
Thursday, April 14, 2011. Learning to ride a bike. Aidan has been asking to take his training wheels off and practice riding his bike. I can't do it when home with them by myself as Livi has a tendency to run out into the street. But on a nice daddy stay home day they went out to practice! This shot cracks me up. He had been looking back at Aaron talking about something instead of paying attention to what he was doing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click the image to go see my other blog!

Friedel Kids: New Sandbox!
http://thefriedelkids.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-sandbox.html
Thursday, August 19, 2010. For awhile now we have been talking about making a sandbox for the kids in the backyard. All three of them LOVE playing in the sand. So much to Aaron's dismay, I made him go buy the wood yesterday and get 'er done! We decided to make it 8x8, which I know is huge, but we do have a big yard with nothing in it right now, and three little ones sharing the sandbox so we just went for it. It looked HUGE when he put it together in the garage, but seemed just right in the backyard.

Friedel Kids: Preschool Christmas Programs
http://thefriedelkids.blogspot.com/2012/12/preschool-christmas-programs.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. This week both girls entertained us with their preschool Christmas programs. Olivia was first up having her program on Tuesday. She did a beautiful job! The teachers who were sitting in front helping lead the children said she was maybe auditioning for her part in the program for next year. When the Innkeepers didn't say their line right away, Livi was standing up in front whispering, "There is no room! She knew what they were supposed to say. :). Mommy, Daddy and the girls.

Friedel Kids: Aidan's Spring Program
http://thefriedelkids.blogspot.com/2012/05/aidans-spring-program.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Last night Aidan had his Kindergarten Spring program. It was so good! All the kids did an awesome job and it was a lot of fun. All of the kids had a special role to play and Aidan's was being a reader. He was one of the first ones and he did a great job. I uploaded the video of his reading to YouTube - Aidan video. They were tossing around balloons in the audience at this point, Aidan obviously got a kick out of that. :). With Grandma and Papa Van. October 26, 2015 at 11:37 PM.

Friedel Kids: What am I going to do with this child?!
http://thefriedelkids.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-am-i-going-to-do-with-this-child.html
Monday, June 21, 2010. What am I going to do with this child? I should have just left well enough alone. Everyone was playing nicely inside. Then I open my big dumb mouth and tell the kids I will take them for a little walk. Sounds innocent enough right? Taking a little stroll with the family before bedtime. But what can I do?

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. I really love going back to iowa. i love it so much I don't mind when I get lost on the country roads after I've already been driving for five hours. . . . but that's my own fault. the country is so pretty it made up for the lost time. Two stories though. the melancholy one first. And now. . .the funny one. Stupid ashton, can you see him down there? I also feel like this picture is sorta creepy since nearly EVERYONE is talking a photo. Ames in the morning. I treated myself to...

Friedel Kids: Ella is 5!!!
http://thefriedelkids.blogspot.com/2012/12/ella-is-5.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. This shirt is so perfect for our little bear. It reads, "Smiles all the time". I can't believe she is 5! For some reason that just seems really old to me. How can she be 5? She will go to Kindergarten next year! We had a lovely little family party for her a few days before her birthday. She requested homemade pizza and an awesome cake with Ariel on it from Aunt Em. And that is exactly what she got. :) Here are a few fun pictures from the day:. Happy with all her gifts!
