Let's go BLUE!

Jake is 7 months old today! He is feeling a little under the weather but still happy!

Anna is finally getting to the age where she will go play in her sandbox without one of us with her.

The first "game day" of the year! All dressed up in game day gear! We left the kids at home with family while we went to Ann Arbor to watch the game!! It was HOT!

Jake is trying to crawl to keep up with Anna!

The kids are all ready for the 1st H.S. football game of the year, Go Eagles!

The aftermath of Jake's first biter cookie!

We stopped in Mackinac City on the way home to check out Lake Huron and the bridge.

It was really windy and difficult to get the kids to cooperate for good pictures!

There was a playground at the camp site, Anna and Aunt Kate had a blast playing together!

Anna playing in Lake Superior. She loved it!!

Jake did much better than I thought he would camping. He hung out a lot in the screened room and in grandma and grandpa's camper. It rained almost the whole time we were up there, but the kids did awesome!

We went camping at Brimley State Park in the UP, Anna liked sitting by the fire the first night.

Jake's 6 month birthday! We got a cake and let him have his way with some of it...He loved it!

We went to Chicago for the weekend to visit friends and check out the museums. Anna had fun at the Children's Museum.


Jake took a nap in the swing at the hotel looking out at the city.
