Fun Family Weekend

This past weekend our Igo family weekend road trips continued. We drove to Dora, Missouri to a blueberry farm. We picked and picked, and picked some more, and ended up with 2 gallons of berries. It was a great lesson on work ethic, patience, and endurance. As our arms got tired and the day grew warmer we talked about what it must be like to farm for survival rather than for "entertainment". I think the girls grew a deeper respect for that lifestyle. After picking blueberries until our hands were blue, literally, we headed out. Tim spotted a sign for a mill down another side road, so , off we went. It was a really cute little mill. Kara slept in the car nearby while Brenna and Taylor dipped their feet in the natrual spring. The water was extremely cold, but refreshing after being so hot out in the blueberry field.

Kara went to the doctor on Friday for her 4 month checkup. She now weighs 12 lbs. She is a little ball of fire rolling, grabbing, and starting to scoot a little bit. She had a little harder time with the shots this time as she ran fever on and off for a couple of days. I can't believe how big she is getting and how fast time is flying by. We are thankful to God for her continued growth and health.

Taylor's new glasses

Taylor has grown so much over the past year. It was time for a new set of specs. We had her eyes checked, and she asked us if she could pick out a different style of frame. Tim wanted her to have something bigger that would be more "fitting" for her. This is what she picked.

Doesn't she look older? I think they make her look like a teenager. They are really cute. It is amazing how fast kids grow up.

13 years... and counting

Thirteen years ago yesterday I married Timothy James Igo. My dream guy and my best friend. It is amazing to look back and see what God has done over the past 13 years of our lives. We have had some really hard times, and some amazingly wonderful times. I must say I love my husband. Neither one of us is perfect, because no one is, but but as we love God we are continually growing and changing into the couple God desires us to be. We greatly desire to display the Glory of God in the union he created. Praise God for marriage!!!

Summer fun

It is offically summer, the pool is open. I told the girls that this summer we wouldn't be able to spend all day at the pool like we did so many days last summer since Kara is so young and the heat would be too much. They are fine with that. They love their little sister! It has not yet hit 90 degrees here yet, so needless to say, the water in the kiddy pool here in town is still on the frigid side. (Forget that, it is stinkin' cold) Kids being as they are will sacrifice any bodliy discomfort just to have fun. As the days grow longer (and hotter) the water gets a little more comforting.

We made a family road trip this past weekend to St. Louis to pick up Daddy from the airport. We stayed downtown in a hotel where we could see the St.Louis Arch from the hotel. We went to Union Station and ate dinner at Landry's, and then went to the zoo on Saturday. The zoo in St. Louis is amazing, and FREE! It was REALLY hot and humid, so we were only there for a few hours. On our way out of town we thought... why don't we go to Sprinfield? (CRAZY) So... we did. All of that and we still made it back to Thayer, MO in time for Belle Hirch's birthday party.
