The Goote Family: June 2014
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Sunday we headed out to the lake. Such a fun day. Grandma keeps sunglasses on the boat just for her. She's almost FOUR. So crazy. She went on a tube right with her buddies Ava and Vivian. So fun to have friends right next door. Summer stop going so fast! Saturday, June 21, 2014. It's been pretty busy over here. Lots of pool time. Lots of cute little swimsuit wedgies. She's been doing this thing where she says she "can't swallow" her food. Corn husking on the porch. She has a little...

The Goote Family: August 2014
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. I can barely roll over in bed. I literally have to pee every 20 minutes. And Lord help me if I have to sneeze around minute 15. I've practically been reduced to an incontinent invalid. Okay I'm kind of. Kidding about that last part. The only shoes that fit on my giant marshmallow feet are my old navy flip flops. Oh, and the size 11 flats I bought for Aubrey's wedding next Saturday - for which I'll probably still be pregnant. The other day at Potbelly my belly. She loves frogs....

The Goote Family: charlotte {11 months}
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2015/08/charlotte-11-months.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Awww this little honey is 11 months old. Almost 1. I'm gonna go cry now. Still sporting some pretty serious thigh rolls. Also the fangs are getting bigger. Our two front teeth are coming though. She loves giving hugs and snuggles. She can say mama, loves scarfing all the food, and can walk behind her walking toys. She bolts towards the stairs whenever she sees the gate is down. She's on to me with the whole sticker thing. Oh Charlotte we LOVE you! Awww cute little pony tail!

Sunday, June 28, 2015. June has been such a fun month for us. We were lucky enough to have all the Huitsing cousins (almost) in Michigan at the same time. We had SO much fun swimming at their hotel pool, and they even came out to the lake to play. And later Dave and Abby stopped by with Jack. Elise and Jack just play and play - so adorable. It's a shame we all live so far away! I have so many pictures - in no particular order. Maddie was so sweet with Charlotte. William was pretty sweet to. :-). She clap...

The Goote Family: July 2015
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. I can't believe it. This post is basically a ton of pictures of our birthday weekend at the lake. We pretty much have moved in Friday and gone home Sunday every weekend this summer. L. Iving the good life. Almost dark out. There were a million fireflies. My mom was worried she wouldn't have enough presents. Auntie Aubrey is so pretty. And Elise has got a really good fake smile. Gourmet cupcakes. SO SO good. Sidenote: my diet is not going so great. Vivian, Elise, Ava. Grandpa and...

The Goote Family: January 2015
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. The weight of it all. I had a moment last night. I'm usually totally fine. Like I just want to get this whole thing over with and move on. But last night.I was putting Charlotte to bed. The sweetest baby girl in the whole world. She was completely out on my shoulder. Except she won't completely give it up and lay her head down, she has to sort of hold it up a little so you can see her entire perfect face. We're leaving tomorrow for the Mayo Clinic. We're packed and ready&#...

The Goote Family: November 2014
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. I brought Charlotte with me to the appointment and Lauren walked across the street from the NICU to join us. Charlotte was all smiles and completely stole the show. Elise was thrilled because Grandma got to pick her up from preschool. I still get a stomachache sitting in that waiting area. I totally sympathize with all those people waiting to be called back for chemo. I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling. Ugh. Elise was SO excited. Oh my gosh I LOVE this baby. Charlotte...

The Goote Family: October 2014
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Sunday at the Lake. Sunday was the last beautiful warm day I think we'll have til spring. That's a little depressing. We had to take advantage by playing outside at the lake. Charlotte and her double chin stayed inside. Of course Grandpa went accross the street to rake a leaf pile just so Elise could jump in it. So fun. Nick likes to throw her around a little. :). I'm way over here! What a fun day! Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Bedtime at the gootes. This cutie loves bathtime.

The Goote Family: December 2014
http://gootefamily.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Christmas in the NICU. So we have this little family tradition of a Christmas picture in our matching Christmas jammies. But this year our little buddy Brian is stuck in the NICU - so we went to him. We broke a few rules to get it done (like the number of people in a room and no kids except siblings), but as Emily put it - what are they going to do - kick Brian out? Charlotte kept trying to grab her cousin. Sunday, December 28, 2014. How I spent a lot of my time. We've got q...
