Trying to determine how much I weigh. The scale said, and the doctor confirmed - 14 pounds at nine months.
We traveled around the LaCrosse area countryside for an afternoon, including this stop at Newburg Corners.
We traveled to our favorite Amish farms outside of LaCrosse. Elsie loved the baby rocking chair at Lydia Ann's!
Elsie tried out the toy basket we bought for her at Lydia Ann's farm.
We went to Riverfest for the Fourth of July and saw Uncle Bill Hoel, a Riverfest Commodore
