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.

Already die hard Michigan fans!!! We teach them young

Getting caught in the act of rolling all over the place!

Big smiles from Jake. He is getting very hard to keep track of, rolling all over the place and getting stuck in very funny places...like under the couch!

The kids have fun outside...well at least Anna did, Jake wasn't too sure!
Jake chilling out after a hard day of playing outside.

Our new babysitter...he even does baths!

Big smiles and crazy hair!

Jake's first time on the big swing. He likes it!

Happy 5 months Jake! He is up to almost 17 pounds and talks a lot now!

drooling, rolling, laughing, playing and eating are the name of the game for Jake these days!

Anna tries out sparklers, she's a bit nervous at first but quickly catches on!
