Too much fun

Hmmm, Joe, have you seen my Margarita? Sophie, what have you got there? (just kidding)

Water Baby

Sophia took to the lake beautifully in a borrowed baby boat. Joe and I pushed her back and forth as she laughed and smiled for the camera.

Labor Day

For Labor Day, the WI Refermats took to the north woods with friends. The Gehrke cabin on Moon Lake in St. Germain is always picturesque, relaxing and with three children under two years old -- never dull.

Joe's Disguise

It appears to be just another Tuesday afternoon, but it is really a secret competition: who is having more fun? Wish you were here. :)

My two front teeth

Sophia's teeth are coming in slowly but surely.

She says: count them...1, 1 1/2!

9 Months - Hooray

Sophia is nine months old. She's grown so much neither of her parents can believe it. And she's finally got a tooth. Well, not a full one yet, but there's two lower front teeth sticking up through the gum. Ouch...don't let her use your finger for a teething ring. Those ridges are sharp on brand new teeth. However, Sophia did not cooperate and let me take a picture of the almost teeth, so you'll have to just wait and see them in person. But we did spend some time on the balconey. We may not have a swing, but we'll have fresh tomatoes come the fall.

A Swinger

While Mom and Dad were packing up the car from camping, Sophia had Mrs. and Mr. Gehrke look after her. They took her out into their yard and let her swing. She gave them her best smile for it. I'm worried she's thinking of trading us in for parents who have a full playset in their backyard.
