Lily Adele - 4 months

Our little Lily girl is 4 months old.  She is a happy little baby who loves her big sisters attention and cuddling with mommy and daddy.  At her recent well child check, she was 15.6 lbs - 90th percentile.  Gotta love the chunky babies!!!

                            

Happy 30th Birthday Phil.....a little late

Phil's 30th Birthday was actually a few weeks ago......  he had a game in Detroit on the night of his birthday, but was home on Saturday night for a little family celebration.  Prior to that, we were able to get out with some great friends for a late night snack at one of our favorite local restaurants, The Union!!!  So, to celebrate his birthday, Grace and I made a double layer chocolate cake complete with a "30" candle.  Grace of course just loved singing to Daddy, blowing out the candle and indulging in the birthday treats :)  Notice.....birthday cake would NOT be complete without a freshly brewed Starbucks latte....PERFECT!

A work in progress

Right now I have no idea what I'm doing to our blog - I want to change it up a bit since I've had the same ole thing for a while now.   I'm just experimenting with a few things right now but can't work on it long enough to figure out exactly how all these little gadgets work.  So, here's a random pic of Lily as I experiment with trying to get it just the way I want it.

Happy 4th Birthday Grace

My "big" girl turned 4 today!  She brings such happiness, joy and energy to our lives.  I love her enthusiasm, curiosity and humor.  We had a great day on Sunday celebrating with our friends and family.  What a BEAUTIFUL day it was for a birthday party.  The kids even got to play outside in the 70 degree weather - that probably won't happen very often :)  Thanks to all who made it special and a BIG thanks to Ams for all the help with getting things ready - love ya!  Here's a little trip down memory lane.

More Fall Fun

This was a BEAUTIFUL weekend in W. Michigan!!  We took advantage of the weather and my last weekend on maternity leave to hang out around town and spend time together as a family.  On Saturday we went to a super cute little pumpkin patch just west of town.  What a neat place!!  They had a free corn maze, tons of pumpkins (u pick or picked) and plenty of spots for the perfect photo opp :)
