Update Time! August-October 2014

Alright, so I keep avoiding updating this thing, because I don't know how to edit pictures (I really wish I did!), and because I feel like there are other things I should be doing (there are), and because I have so much I want to put on here that I don't know where to begin so.... that needs to end.  Here we go! The last six months, in pictures, starting with August-October


 We got to know Missouri better!

Country Club Plaza

 This is the view out our back window. (I miss the green, now that its winter!)

 We went on lots of adventures.  Basically every weekend, we tried to get out and explore something around town.  This is Zona Rosa, a cute outdoor mall...

 Cute teenagers at a fun art festival...

 We went to a Royals game with Matt's school! We left after the 5th inning, while we were losing, and then apparently it was really exciting after that and the Royals ended up winning.  Oops!  Still fun to see the team that ended up going to the World Series! (EVERYONE was talking about it at the hospital when Clara was born.)

 We did a little exploring of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art! We've since been back twice, and haven't even gotten close to seeing it all.  Really really cool place.

 We went and ate yummy food and watched some fun dancing at a Culture Festival.  So many cool things happen in Kansas City.  There is always something interesting to do or see. (Especially in the summer.)

 And I got really pregnant.  This last picture was sometime near the end, after church (our church is on the same property as the Kansas City Temple.  Love it!)  I felt humongous, but I told Matt I wanted a picture of my hugeness so that my daughter could look at it when she was pregnant, and realize that hugeness is normal. :)

We had a really great time together those few months.  It was so nice to have time together before Clara was born.  The thing I don't have pictures of though, might have meant the most.  We made some really great friends here in Kansas City.  There are so many people in our ward and through Matt's school that are in the same "place" as us, and they have been so good to us.  I am so glad we chose to come here.

Next time, what you all really want to see... A MILLION PICTURES OF CLARA! And maybe a bit of the story of her birth.
