10 years out of high school (for Jesse- Kara's not that old)

1. Visiting Great Grandma Widmer last Sunday
2. Sitting in a chair Jesse's Uncle Jim made when Jesse was a little guy
3. Quality time with Great Grandma...and a new favorite toy.
4. On the swings at Evansburg State Park with Oma and Grandpa.  She 

looks really tiny from far away!
5.  Climbing up the side of Grampy Widmer's old rocker.  This looks 

but she does it about 367 times a day and nearly drives her dad crazy.

So Juliana has been walking for over a month now, and just this week she's become much quicker and way more steady. This was taken about 2 weeks ago, but because she continues to only want to eat and lick the camera when it is within her grasp, this was the best video we have for the time being... hopefully this will satisfy the disbelievers!  We hope that we'll be able to have a "photo shoot" around her first birthday and hopefully we'll get some good standing/ walking shots during that.

Phillips seafood restaurant never saw such a cute little customer in all their years of business.

Baltimore

Baltimore Aquarium

Our view of Camden Yards from  our hotel room
Swimming in the pool at the hotel
Laughing with (at) Daddy
Being her silly self (she actually still was sick and running a fever this day)
This past weekend, we went away for the first time in a long while....albeit for less than 24 hours, but it was still nice to get away.  We decided to take an overnight to Inner Harbor, Baltimore in order to visit the aquarium and just do some general looking around.  Juliana loved looking at the fish in the aquarium, even to the point of postponing her normal nap about two hours in order to stay awake and take it all in.  She then slept for three hours....and the peasants rejoiced.
