Zoo Brew

Dave and I had a wonderful date night!

Hannah's first day of Pre-K 4

Isaac's first day of 2nd grade

IKEA trip!

Isaac had another cardio appointment at the University of Michigan, so he and I headed to IKEA afterwards to stock up on some furniture.  He was such a great helper!

Harlan Days fun

Miles' first time on the rides.  I think he loved it :)

Zoo day

Melissa took Isaac and Hanbab to the zoo with some neighbors.  It was a great way to spend the day off!

Fishing in our backyard

The kids love fishing, so we tried out the pond at our new house.  They each caught one right away.  It was Hannah's first fish!!

Sponge rollers

Hannah agreed to let me try sponge rollers again in her hair for our family photos in the church directory tomorrow. She lasted about 5 minutes after bed time and insisted that we take them out :(

Walking to Bandidos

We tried walking to Bandidos from our new house.  It's about one mile straight behind the neighborhood and looked to be connected by a sidewalk.  However, about 3/4 of the way there, the sidewalk ended.  It wouldn't have been that bad, if we hadn't gotten as much rain recently.  At one point, there was about 4 inches of water to walk through.  Not too bad for me and the kids in crocs, but Dave had a tough time pulling the wagon in his tennis shoes.  He took a slightly longer way to stay dry .  We made it and had a great dinner!

Miles' new accessory

Miles broke his leg :(

We were enjoying a great evening in the backyard, until Dave slipped down the hill while holding Miles.  Miles rolled gently out of Dave's arms, but screamed a lot and wouldn't calm down afterwards.  We took him inside to see what was wrong.  We took off his pants and didn't any bruises or cuts or anything, but when we propped him up to walk, he screamed and pulled his leg up.  Melissa took him to the ER and after X-rays they told us he had a "toddler's fracture".  Pretty common and easy to heal, but would need a cast for 4 weeks. Poor guy!

Legacy Auction at St. Elizabeth

Dave and I attended the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Legacy Auction for the first time this year.  There was a western theme this year and you can see Fr. Ben got pretty into it!  

It was a really fun evening, and we met many other parents.  Dave even bought me a ring in the Silent Auction for my birthday :)  

Reading with Daddy

Cutie!!

Isaac's first Pinewood Derby

Isaac and Dave built their first Pinewood Derby car.  It was a lot of fun building and painting it.  Isaac had a great time racing against his friends and already has ideas for next year.

Great Snowman weather!

We got 16 inches of snow this weekend. It was heavy, wet snow.  Perfect for building a snowman.  Hannah has been sick, so she and Miles watched from the window.  Isaac and Daddy rolled some huge snow balls for the snowman and Dave had to lift them up.  It was quite funny to watch.  After he was built, Isaac tried to put a couple sticks in him for arms and the snowman fell down :(. Dave and Isaac kept with it and built him again.  Definitely the best one yet!

Apparently Miles doesn't like Bologna.

We noticed Miles putting the Bologna on his shoulder instead of eating it for lunch today. He looked quite guilty!

Too cute

Great day on the boat

The Patricks were camping this weekend at Pokagon.  We tried to pick them up on Saturday night for a boat ride, but saw some lightening and had to call it quits.  We got to go out Sunday though. We swam at the sandbar and then tried tubing for the first time.  Isaac fell off the tube, but everyone had a great time!  Then, we hung out at their campsite til the kids were ready for bed.  Great day with our cousins!
