Summer Time

We have been blessed with wonderful weather so far this summer. It is sunny and warm during the day with rain overnight to keep the grass and plants happy. Because we have such a nice yard and deck, we have been spending a lot of time in the backyard. Miles can hang out on the deck in the shade, and Will and I can explore the yard. We have even planted our first veggie/herb/fruit garden this year and surprisingly it is growing fairly well!

Crib Time

Will always wants to help get Miles up from naps and the other day while we were doing this, he begged to get in Miles' bed with him. It was pretty cute to see my little buddies hanging out together!

Diggers

We have been lucky to spend a lot of time this summer at COSI. They had a really fun exhibit with a bunch of real diggers, trucks, and lots of other heavy equipment :) Will had a blast! Miles slept through the whole experience, so I had to take a picture of him later in his digger outfit...so cute!!!

New Shoes

A few weeks ago I was going through some clothing from my sister that use to belong to our nephew Leo. I found a black pair of Crocs that I remember Leo getting three years ago on a trip to the beach. Of course Will had to try them right away because he LOVES anything that has to do with his big cousin. The Crocs were a huge hit for Will and for mom as well...what a great invention! Easy to clean, easy to put on, easy to take off! So while I was shopping for Father's Day, I had to pick up a pair of blue ones as well and had them put a fire truck decoration in one foot and a police car in the other. Needless to say, they were a huge hit!

Schools Out For Summer!

Yes, I only had to go back for seven days this year before summer break...what a perfect time of year to have a baby! While I was on maternity leave, we had Will continue to go to "his school" a few times a week to keep him used to it and also to allow me time to spend with Miles. Will has definitely grown to love Ready, Set, Grow and we feel so lucky to have found such a great place to send the boys. He was with two wonderful teachers the last six months, Miss Melissa and Miss Brittany. They had a going away present for him and also had a little party on his last day. He is a lucky boy! He still talks about his school friends everyday and is looking forward to going back this fall. These pics are from his last day this school year!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great time traveling to Grosse Pointe for Memorial Day weekend. The weather was great and we were able to do a lot of fun things. Miles had his first trip to Papa's boat and Will was able to really enjoy his boating experience this year. He even fed the ducks crackers and ice...he is convinced now that ducks love ice since we let him occupy himself by feeding them an ice cube at a time from the cooler. You'll notice that for every cracker the ducks have, Will ate about three himself! We also enjoyed a wonderful picnic on the water. Miles enjoyed Mimi's new swing a ton! Will also had his first taste of corn on the cob...he LOVED it!!! And doesn't Will look like Magnum P.I. with his flowered shirt and Tigers' hat?

3 Months Old

Miles is getting to be quite the big boy. This is a picture of him at 3 months in the chair (it is fun to compare it to his 1 and 2 month pics). At the doctor this week, he weighed 14 pounds and 24 3/4 inches long. He was the 75th percentile for weight and height.
