Holland Family visits

Hi Everyone! Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Holly and Aunt Liesel came to visit us in Butte. We had a great time site seeing and spending time together. We sure love it when family comes to see us. Thank you for coming...come again soon!






We are headed to Vermont on the 21st of August...we are very excited to spend time with the Moser Grandparents and family. Look for pictures soon of our visit back east!

Summer coming to a close

I had been telling Nic that I wanted to get my hair cut. The last time I got it cut was before Nic and I were married. He likes my curls, but I could not stand having long hair anymore. I wanted a change; short hair was it. I told Nic that I would wait until the baby was born thus giving him time to get used to the idea. Well, Elise was born, my hair got cut.

Nic has been working very hard as a Safety Intern at Jordan Contracting this summer. He started out working in Anaconda and Butte, but was given leave of Anaconda and finished off the summer over the job sites in Butte. Having Nic work only in Butte not only saved huge amounts of gas, but also saved him from having to get up at 3:30 am. He now can "sleep in" until 5:00am! It has been nice to be able to ride in to work with him a few times a week so that I could have the truck to run errands. Elise is up at the time anyway, so she enjoys a nice ride to start out her day. Usually she falls asleep in her carseat, but is quick to wake up once we arrive back at home. Nic will be starting school, his last semester (!), on Wednesday, August
27th. We are very excited for him to get his Thesis done. He will do wonderfully! Then it will be time to go into the big world and start work for the rest of his life! We are not sure where we are headed next, but we sure are very excited to find out!



We went to Big Sky, MT to visit Mack, Bud and Kiel. Kiel took us on a hike. Elise rode in the stroller and did a great job on the sometimes bumpy terrain. Elise wanted a picture with her Uncle Kiel.





Elise is doing great! At her last weight check, which was a couple weeks ago, she weighed in at 8lbs 1oz. She is quite the chubby little girl! She has started to interact with us more. He eyes wander to various things, but will focus in on our faces at times. She has the cutest little smile that is shown daily. We love to see her little personality come out through her little noises and facial expressions. We have quite the little lady. We could not be any more blessed with how well she is growing. We are having so much fun with her.
