Strawberry Pickin' & Baby Scarlett

Time with Aunt Angela

We lived with Joe's twin sisters for the past 2 months, and it was such a fun and special time! Here are some pictures from 2-3 weeks ago. Dominic LOVED watching Andrea blow dry her hair every morning. He loved just sitting on the floor and watching her, and then eventually started trying to grap the blow dryer. We always got a good laugh out of it.

Mary Ellen's parents visited 2 weeks ago! Here we were have a nice lunch in downtown Ann Arbor. We drove them all around the area so it was nice to sit down for a while. Dominic loved having his grandparents here!

Joe and Mary Ellen's Dad outside "The Big House," the U of M football stadium. Joe told them we came all the way from Arizona to see the stadium, but the security guard wouldn't budge!
Practicing walking with Gram

Dominic LOVED playing with these beads on Andrea's shirt.

Thanks for coming, Gram and Grandpa!!

One of our favorites....Andrea left Dominic for a moment to take a picture of Dominic, and obviously, he was not happy about it and wanted her to come closer!! haha

Dominic cuddled up with Angela when he was gnawing on his sippy cup. He sprauled out....it was really cute!

Strawberry Picking!! Dominic loved holding the berries in his hand and squeezing them to a pulp! He also took a bite out of one. He liked it:)

We told Dominic not to make it obvious that we were eating strawberries in the patch, but he wasn't too discreet!

Some videos of Walter and Kim's baby, Scarlett, when they were leaving the hospital. This is 4 weeks old!! I'm sooo sorry it's so late...but here it is nevertheless! Think of it as a tribute to her upcoming Baptism this weekend:)

Our garden and trip to Northern MI

Our garden the day we planted! We put up a fence around the garden, too, but haven' t taken a picture of that yet.

We planted 8 tomato plants, 1 basil, 2 zucchini, 4 peppers (2 green, 2 red), broccoli, cucumbers, and a ton of green beans.

This is how Dominic likes to wake me up in the morning! Joe brings him into me in the morning when Dominic wakes up.....it is such a joy!

Dominic got really cuddly with Dad the other day....just precious!

Hard at work with Dad working from home.

These next pictures are from our trip last weekend in Northern Michigan about 3-4 hours away from here. We stayed at a friend's house who lived on a big, beautiful property/farm.

First time for shoes....Dominic wasn't a big fan, though!

The view from the front porch....not bad!

I love these shoes...

The front porch....we watched a lot of rain showers from this porch...just beautiful and peaceful!

Dominic had a ball playing with all the wood pieces on the front porch.

Dominic couldn't stop staring at Uncle Tom.

And some more videos.....

Playtime

Some videos

Here are some videos from the last 1-2 weeks...can't remember what they are, but enjoy! Like usual, I am way behind, so I'm going to try to upload a bunch of videos in the next few days to catch up. Soon we will post some pictures from our trip to Northern Michigan this past weekend as well.
