Learning the ways of the farm with our favorite farm boy!!  Papa had a great time telling Alivia all about how a farm works at the Family Fun on the Farm event. (Mommy is almost 32 weeks pregnant here!)

Grandma knows the way to Alivia's hear....lots of new puzzles!

 Someone was not enthused to be part of Daddy's Father's Day gift...
...until chocolate was offered!
 (Don't worry...Daddy doesn't check the blog much so our secret is safe!)

 Today was Alivia's first dance class.  I don't know who was more excited....her or her mom who took 13 years of dance lessons!  It was a little more "I'm A Little Teapot" and less "A Midsummer Night's Dream" but she loved it and that is all that counts!

Lately, Alivia has been enjoying being a monster and "sneaking" up on us so we decided to get some inspiration for "Monster Cookies" from Pinterest.  Ours weren't quite as perfect but the fun we had making them was just perfect for us!

And with that....Mrs. Kosten is on leave until December 2014.  Bittersweet in so many ways!

Feeling so incredibly blessed by a surprise baby shower from my team of students.  We are one lucky family!  Baby Kosten is very loved by these students!
