This weekend

We visited our aunt and uncle's place.  Baby Chuck had a blast playing with all their toys and swimming in the pool.  Hubby and I enjoyed seeing family and eating delicious food.

Chuck liked this toy so much.  We borrowed it and brought it home with us!

Yummy!  Hello halo-halo!

All aboard!

Oops.  I think someone had an accident in the pool.

We put Chuck in a regular diaper when he went swimming.      Left:  A very full diaper      Right:  An unused diaper for comparison

Hubby and I left early because we were tired.  Baby Chuck drove himself home.

Happy father's day

Dear Dads of the world,

You rock.  

Love,

me

Goodbye family!

I think Baby Chuck is already missing everyone.  
Thankfully these goodbyes are only temporary.



Thanks Tito Ric for this lovely bouquetlishious photo

Critter Barn

Yesterday we took our family around downtown Holland.  We enjoyed popping in and out of the shops and eating yummy sweets.  We also enjoyed seeing the Critter Barn animals in Centennial Park. 

Baby Chuck and I are trying to convince hubby to buy some chickens...or maybe a goat?   The goat could help mow the lawn.  I'll let you know how that goes.

Oooh, chickens!

Big brain?  Or big hair?

Do goats eat tires?

Bucket list- Lake Michigan

Our family made the 15 hour trek from NJ to Michigan.  We welcomed them with a picnic at the beach.  It was Baby Chuck, Auntie Ana, and Uncle Richie's first time seeing beautiful Lake Michigan.

I think they liked it a lot.

Let the countdown begin

Our move-out date is about a month away.

I'm really sad that we're leaving Holland.

But, I look forward to seeing Baby Chuck growing up with his family.   

 

Thanks for the photos Esther! 

Guess what?

We're taking a short road trip back to the East Coast.  We can't wait for Baby Chuck to meet his family.

This weekend

We celebrated St. Patrick's day by enjoying the sunshine, attending a craft fair, visiting a nearby town, and going to a museum.

Hope you got a chance to enjoy the sunshine too.

Hello, cousin!

Date night with an ipod

I heard about this new free app called Camera Art FX.  It lets you apply different artistic filters to photos taken on your favorite iProduct.  Hubby, Chuck, and I enjoyed playing around with it during our last date night:

Bye auntie

I loved seeing my sister holding Baby Norris.  

She'll make a great mom someday.    

Little sister

Thanks for cheering me up. 

Crabby birthday

My sister recently got a new camera for her birthday.  I really wanted to make her a case, so I followed these directions.  As you can see, I struggled with the seams... but at least the camera fits the case.   Gosh, who knew sewing in a straight line could be so hard?

Feeling some fabric deja vu?  You're probably remember our changing pad.

It's quiet... too quiet...

Bye nanna and grandpa

Dear nanna and grandpa,

Mom told me that you left today.  Why did you have to go?  I miss you.  When will you come back and see me?  I can't wait till this summer.  Then I can visit you and meet cousin Manny and pet some kangaroos.  I'm going to pet at least five.  Mom says that I'm going to be a really big boy then.  You might not recognize me.  I'll be the one in daddy's arms.     

Love,
Baby Chuck

Oh happy days

Here's hoping that Baby Chuck is finally emerging from his fussy period....

Windy City

This past weekend we visited Chicago.

We had to bundle up because it was very cold.

But, we braved the weather and saw lots of things.

Nanna also brought me a new friend. 

Christmas guests

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posts.  We're currently entertaining some guests from Down Under.  I'll remind mom to post as soon as she can.

Love,
Baby Chuck

Four boys, four times the cuteness

I typically try to post one entry a day.  But I just couldn't wait to post this entry. 

Sadly, Baby Chuck won't be able to meet the other boys in our family this Christmas.  However, I'm hopeful that one day, all four little guys will meet and play together.
