It's been a wonderful summer this year. We've had lots of fun outdoors and have gotten to visit with many of our friends and family. We're having a blast with the Spiess family up from Texas. Allie loves to play with her cousins Jackson and Tyler. On August 30th we had all 3 kids baptized together at Matt and Erica's home church up north. The kids did just great and we had such a nice time. We really appreciate everyone coming - both near and far!
Allie is growing so fast now and is in to everything! She's walking along furniture and will stand on her own - we're sure it will be any day now before she starts walking. Her health has been wonderful and the doctor is pleased with her growth. She's talking now and will say "Da-Da" and "Baby" - no "Mama" yet, but we're working on it :)
We're looking forward to a busy fall and have lots planned. We're going to see everyone in Ohio at the end of the month and then the beginning of October Mom and Allie are off for a girls trip to Austin, Texas to visit Aunt Erica, Uncle Kyle, Jackson, Tyler and Sully dog too! It will be Allie's first plane ride! We're also hoping to go visit Uncle Mark in Marquette this fall.
We hope this note finds you well.
Love, The Shepards
