The Seiboth Family Blog

Well, technically the last day of summer ended on September 22, 2009 (4:18 pm CDT to be precise) but as luck would have it we were able to enjoy one last beautiful late summer day this past Sunday, even though the already falling leaves were giving us a little taste of what is yet to come. On Saturday I spent a good hour raking the leafs that had fallen of the two large trees in front of our house, only to find twice as many on the ground on Sunday.

Anyway, I’m rambling…

Sunday started out nicely as Emilia decided she’d let us sleep in for once. It wasn’t until around 9:00 am that she was jumping up and down in her crib calling for Mama and Dada to get her out. (The picture on the right is about three months old. These days she’s hanging half way out of her crib by the time we come to get her).

After hanging out in bed for a while we all got up and ready to go see our friends Molly and Ryan who recently welcomed a new baby girl into their lives. I was a little nervous to see how Emilia would react to baby Sophia but as it turns out she was a great sport about it. She actually couldn’t stop looking at the baby and had a smile on her face the entire time. I guess it’s good to know that she won’t have any trouble adjusting when a little brother or sister is around someday (at least that’s what we’re hoping for… Emilia adjusting well I mean).

After visiting baby Sophia and her parents we stopped by Panera Bread for a quick lunch break. It’s amazing to watch how fast Emilia is growing up. It wasn’t that long ago when all she’d eat was formula and baby food and now she’s chomping on bread, pizza, and quesadillas. Simply amazing! You wouldn’t believe how much bread that kid can devour. Then again, based on what she did to her birthday cupcake (see picture on the left) I should have seen it coming.

The plan for the rest of the day was to get some quick grocery shopping done before taking the bikes out for a ride around the neighborhood. Unfortunately by the time we made it home from the store that beautiful late summer day turned on us and it started raining. So instead we put away our groceries, fed Emilia and got her ready for bed and then enjoyed a quiet evening on the couch. All in all it wasn’t that bad of a weekend. Let’s just hope we didn’t let the last couple of nice days of this year pass by and we can take the bikes out one more time.

Okay, so I have decided to give the blogosphere another shot by creating yet another blog, which is supposed to keep friends and family in the loop about what’s going on in our lives. I’ve tried this feat various times in the past but my problem is that I tend to play around more with the features and gadgets that some blogging platforms offer rather than actually writing the blog.

This time around I intend to approach things a little differently though. I promise that I will try to post an update at least once a week. I won’t make any promises in regards to the length of each entry but I will try to post at least one picture with each update. Since I never really know if people actually read what I write I would like to ask our potential readers to please leave comments whenever possible. This should encourage me to keep going. And last but not least, if you know us and you have your own blog, please e-mail me your blog address so I can add it to our Blogroll. After all I like reading other people’s blogs as much as they will hopefully like reading ours.
