Ramone and his back-up singers take Michigan!


Charlie at 11 months

Charlie is a busy little guy!  He is into everything!  He loves the Roomba vacuum and the dog water bowl.  He climbs the stairs, pulls things out of the cabinet and fights diaper changes like you wouldn't believe!  He says: Mom, Dad and dog quite frequently.  He points to most things and says, "dog" which makes Claire and Allie laugh.  He conquered his fear of sand and water at the lake house in July and was crawling into the water like it was nothing.  Thankfully he is not as crazy with the hair pulling as he use to be!  He takes a morning and afternoon nap most of the time and sleeps through the night.  He is a good eater and loves strawberries and my oatmeal pancakes.  He loves to go on the swings at the park.  He has the bluest eyes and the cutest dimples!  He doesn't want to sit still for a second and has always been my little observer.  He is getting much better about going to other people and he really likes our neighbor Fred!  Charlie enjoys baths, though he doesn't take long ones!  Same goes for his meals, he eats quickly and then wants to get out!  He is decisive, curious, and a little impatient.  He is exhausting but so much fun!

 Celebrating Amelia and Grant's birthdays

 Claire and Allie have found a baby turtle every summer!  3/3!  This was the smallest one yet!

 ...and the rest of us, too!
 Morning songs!

 We went to St. Joe's and the girls each picked out a beanie baby.

Getting ready to head out!  Charlie's days in his car seat are numbered!

 Twins!
 Tiny the turtle
 Tea cups!  Once they gain momentum they spin like crazy!
 Allie smiling before I had to rescue her from the crazy spinning!
 Face paint, always their favorite thing to do!  The girls were so excited to have Dane join us and they were all so good!

4th of July

We had fun with our friends at the lake!

 Dad has the goods, mom has her babe!
 More please!
 Allie's pose!
 Sparkler time to shine!


June fun at Pirate's Cove

We had so much fun at our friends birthday party!
 The weather looked like it might storm, but it didn't and the park was pretty empty!
 

 I love how happy they were.  Dad stayed home with Charlie, which allowed us to have so much fun.  We were the last ones to leave!
