Well, it seems the last time I posted, Elsie had just turned 4. She's had 2 birthdays since then, so I guess you could say a lot has changed! We were going to try homeschooling her for Kindergarten last year, but I didn't get off to a great start with that, so she will be starting Kindergarten this year. Here's her turning and 5 and 6!
Elsie's 5th birthday
She had eye surgery August 2016 to fix her lazy eye that the glasses wouldn't correct, we are now glasses free!
6th birthday! We celebrated while camping with Grandpa and Grandma, then on her birthday we went to Maquoketa, IA and explored the caves and went to cloth diaper party!
She's a crazy kid!
But we love her!
He wanted a spaceship cake. I didn't have a lot of time to make this cake and it was falling apart while frosting it, so we made it work! (It's not the prettiest though)
Spiderman cake at Grandpa and Grandmas!
Some from last year: he's quite the little character!
We lost great grandma Marcia last year unexpectedly. She was a great lady and so active! I'm so sad she's gone, but really thankful we got to spend time with her on vacation in Minnesota before she died. I'm also very glad that she wasn't sick or in a nursing home for any amount of time. She would not have liked that at all! She loved fishing from the dock and walking. We didn't get to see her much recently as they moved to Texas I think when I was in middle school and ran an RV park, but the summer before she died, she was up visiting with everyone in the family for the whole summer. When I told the kids she died, Abbott said "I miss that grandma, I liked her." Awwww.
In other news, we had a baby! Llewyn Robert Fowler was born on January 8 at 11:33pm and weighed 8lb 8oz, and was 21.5 inches long. We got his name from the movie Inside Llewyn Davis. He's just been the best baby, and we love him so much. We are so blessed!
He's alomst 7 months old now and he's just got the best rolls. He's the chubbiest of the kids and he's just almost always happy! He loves watching Elsie and Abbott do just about anything and usually thinks it's hilarious!
Well, that's all for now!
