Early April

I am so behind on posting pictures that I decided to skip a few months so that I can show you what we are up to now. I will have to backtrack later. This is our backyard as of April 1. More of the snow is gone now thank goodness. Patrick doesn't mind the snow, he is just happy it is warm enough for us all to get out more.
Today the snow at our favorite park was melted enough to go and play. We haven't been there since early November!

November 2010

We had our first snow in November (that snow is still down there under much more snow, and it is March 31!) Patrick was intrigued. I was excited. I am not sure if I will be next year though!

Tahquamenon Falls

Ryan, Mom, Patrick and I went to Tahquamenon Falls recently. Ryan and Patrick had fun running around.


Fall is really beautiful here. I haven't seen trees get so colorful anywhere I have lived.

More October

Now that Patrick could walk, he and Ryan developed a new favorite activity. They enjoy growling and chasing each other.

October 2010

This halloween I got a weird pumpkin with a LOT of strings inside. Patrick helped me carve it by giving instructions from his near by high chair.

September 2010 - a little late

I just have to get these pictures on the blog. We had a great October, didn't know what kind of winter was ahead of us!! Below is Patrick having fun with pumpkins. He had just started walking pretty recently in these pictures.
Doggie love.

Nicole and Bob made the trek up from Chicago and we all had a blast!
