Light the Night Walk

This October, our family will be participating in the Light the Night Walk here in Indy. For those of you who don't know, that's a fundraising walk for Leukemia and Lymphoma. Leukemia has been a vicious killer in my family for the last 50 years. It has taken the lives of my grandpa, my Aunt Becky, and my Aunt Rachel. I never had the privilege of meeting my grandpa, but my aunts were two of the neatest women you ever could have met. We have been fundraising for these diseases ever since my Aunt Becky was diagnosed 11 years ago. To honor these two incredible women, I have set up my fundraising page in their memory, and all funds will be donated in their names. If you or anyone you know would like to donate, please visit my Light the Nights webpage at http://www.active.com/donate/ltnIndian/2456_fwitzig

Baby Dedication

Every summer, we have a baby dedication and baptism at our church. It's held at one of our Elder's houses, and it's a really awesome event that we don't like to miss!! Two years ago, Brian and I were baptised in the pool, and this year, we got to dedicate Hopey! It's so cool knowing you have your church family supporting you in raising your child! Brian had to give a short speech, but as usual, it was just perfect! I just had to share a couple of pictures because it was such a special day for us!

Our Little Sitter

Hopey's growing up too fast!!! I was playing with her yesterday, and when I sat her up, she actually just stayed there and played like that!! After that, she just sat up and played with her toys all day! After a full day of sitting up, she had just an awful night and was up every two hours. I was a little worried that she might be sick again, so I was checking her out this morning when I discovered the tip of a little tooth coming through!! That explains the sleeping problem we've been having all week! My little girl is growing up on me, and I've got to admit, it's making me kind of sad!

The Great Debate

Hopey has become quite the little chatterbox over the past month, and she has got an attitude!! Here she is giving her daddy a piece of her mind!

Wawasee Weekend

We just got back from a really awesome weekend at Lake Wawasee with Brian's family, and I was going through the 441 pictures I took, so of course I had to share! Right? :)

This is the adorable little cottage that Brian's mom's family has had since she was young. This was Hopey and my first trip here, so it was really special to see and hear about all of the Witzig, Steffen, and Isch memories over the years!

This is Grandpa taking Hopey on her first pontoon ride! She had the time of her life!

Hopey got to meet her great grandpa Isch this weekend, and they really seemed to hit it off well! She was mesmerzied by him!
