Trip to Detroit

So, my aunt and uncle, Rikki and Matt, had to go to a seminar in Detroit over the weekend. Since it is Columbus day weekend, and Jonathon doesn't have school on Monday, we decided we might as well drive the 4 hours and meet up with them there. Matt was gone for most of the day on Saturday, and part of the day on Sunday, but we got to sit with Rikki and Emily in the hotel and play games. The two kids were so cute playing together.
We had to take a picture of the back of their heads where their hair gets rubbed off. See, Jonathon tells Michael that it is his stuffed Giraffe that eats his hair in the night, and Matt tells Emily that it is her stuffed bear. These kids are really going to have problems or something... :)

They'd play and play until they finally crashed asleep on the floor.

Mobile Baby

Michael is just starting to be able to move while he plays. He accidentally goes backward all the time. Today, while I was working, I'd look up to check on him ever so often. One time I looked up and he had backed himself partway under the couch. He wasn't fussing or anything, he was just trying to figure out what was going on. I couldn't help but take a picture 'cause it was so cute. He just looks so happy!

Picking Raspberries with Dad

We loved picking the raspberries so much that I went again, this time with Jonathon. The berries were just falling off the vine. In just over an hour, Jonathon and I had picked 12 pints of raspberries. It was a blast! Michael was great (as usual) and loved to just sit and watch all the living things and bright colors of the outdoors.

We ended the day with a quick cat nap. Here are my two wonderful guys.

A Growing Boy

I noticed that Michael is really filling up his car seat. I was really interested in comparing him to his younger self... This is what I got:
Michael 1 month old

Michael 5 Months old

Picking Raspberries

We have some really great "Pick Your Own" farmers markets around here. I was able to go and pick some fresh raspberries for homemade raspberry jam and icecream. They were delicious. I went with some my friends in the neighborhood, Rachel, Dana, Shersti, and April. It was a pretty cold day, but Michael was a trooper. The smell of the raspberry plants and the taste of fresh berries flooded me with memories of picking raspberries with Grandpa Baird.





After picking the raspberries, we headed over to Young's Dairy for some lunch. They had great things for the kids to do: petting zoo (with goats, sheep, pigs, chickens etc), tractors and tires to play on, and all sorts of things.

All in all, it was a great day.

Dino PJ's

As Michael's bigger, we just had to put him in the Dragon/Dino PJ's that we have. He is just so cute!!!
Check out the cool ears on them...

Hair Cut!!!

So I finally decided to get my hair cut... It feels so great. Here are some before and after shots:
