The Nieder-Meyer Way

In the beginning of August the ENTIRE Meyer Crew got to get together for the first time in two years!!! Cousins got to meet, Aunts held babies, guys drank beer, it was good! Some highlights included: Brew Haven, the zoo, midwest meals, the lake, parks, the dining room table, the outdoor dining room table, and just hanging out together under one roof! Paw Paw got lots of time looking and loving on his Grangirls, and we all enjoyed the luxury of being together. We were able to see lots of friends and family too! I just love being with my family, just LOVE it! Family time continues as we prepare to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday this weekend too!

I can't tell you how CUTE Molly is! She is so much fun to be around. I also can't wait for the time when all three girls can play together. Remy has some awesome cousin (both sides)! Jamie and Dusty have done great work loving and teaching Molly to be the great little gal she is, I learned a lot!

Remy update: She is so perfect and gets more perfect each day! She sleeps at least one 5 hour block a night right now too which doesn't hurt :) She has started to talk to us, and all I can translate is "I'm Happy"! She begins day care 3 days a week starting Septemeber 4th. I would be nervous but she is the ONLY girl in her class of 8! I think she'll get some extra loving and learn to be tough with all those boys! It's a great place and I'm glad we got her in! I know the first day will be tough for me though. But as Dan reminded me, we work hard to play hard!

Shawna update: I'm going back part-time as I manage grad school, baby, and work. I've managed A's in all my courses so far, but we'll see what the next semester brings when I have all 3 to manage. I just need to pass right? Working part-time should help with the juggling though! I'm thankful for my job and the support I've received. I sure do miss my kiddos at the Club!

Dan update: After some paternity leave and an interview, Dan went back to his job as a supervisor. It has it's challenges like any position, but he is really enjoying the new position! He works so hard and I'm glad he got recognized to be a leader! He has an office and everything now too! We're so proud!

Henry update: Henry isn't doing too well with baby. He doesn't quite like the change. The poor guy has too much anxiety. But he still is a great cuddle bug and we love him as much as we can!
