This is our newest neice, Natalie Kay Carrier. Isn't she a doll? Congratulations, Gary & Amy!

Pirate Ship

Nick spent lots of time climbing on the pirate ship. He got really good at it by the end of the week.

Here he is, following Demi. He loves the ladies!

High School Friends

I met my friends, Jennifer, Lisa and Neva at Boone's in Sutton's Bay. I haven't seen any of them in almost 20 years. It was fun! I hope we do it again soon.
My high school friend Lisa has a family cottage in Sutton's Bay. She visited us with her kids at Fountain Point. They were all such nice boys and girls and they adored Nick.

Fountain Point 2009

We enjoyed another trip to Fountain Point at Lake Leelanau. Nick got to run around to his heart's content.
Nick took a bath in the sink. It was a tight fit.

Tim, Teddy, TJ & Nick played a little baseball.

Nick met a new friend, Demi. She's 6 years old and he followed her all over the place. It was really cute.

Nick, Addison & Grayson

I got to see my dear friend Angela for a couple hours while she was visiting from Texas. We went to Partridge Creek and the kiddos got to run around in the fountains a bit. The visit was short, but I was so happy to see her and her beautiful children.

Huckleberry Railroad & Crossroads Village

We went to Huckleberry Railroad and Crossroads Village on Sunday. We took a train ride - here's a picture of the caboose.

Nick and Tim enjoyed a turn-of the century carousel ride with a ferris wheel chaser that left Tim a little sick. But Nick wanted to go again!
We climbed around on an old stagecoach.

Nick seemed to enjoy the day, but was pretty tired by the time we left.

Beautiful Baby Boy!

Off-Roading

Our friends John & Steph gave Nick this Jeep that their son Teddy outgrew. Nick loves it.

He's not a very good driver, as it turns out. He hit this tree a couple times.

He finally got the hang of keeping the gas peddle pressed down so he could go fast. But we really need to work on steering.

Washing the Cars

Mowing the Lawn with Dad

Nick has become quite useful around the yard. He can now cut the grass along with Daddy.

He's very meticulous around the trees and shrubs.

Rain

Nick's not a fan of it. He just wants to go outside and play.

First Ice Cream Cone

Here's Nick, all dressed up and ready to go to Grandma's birthday party. Unfortunately, he threw up all over himself on the way there, and we turned around and went back home. Daddy went to the party, we stayed home and watched Noggin.
Nick has had ice cream lots of times, but I don't think he's ever eaten it off a cone. He liked it.
