Lunching in Ann Arbor, Father's Day weekend

It's tough having to walk all over Ann Arbor!
She had people laughing at this sleep position!
It's Father's Day!!! Of course all the kids have to gather around for presents!

Lily wants to help
Dewey always wondering if there might be food involved...
As you can see by his face, there wasn't

Yeah! I love curley string!
And of course the paper!

Ummm I don't think this bag can hold me
Lily was trying to pull herself up last week (6-18-08), so we had to drop her matress down...and she was still trying to pull herself up!

Now she looks like she's in a cage!! ha ha

Please don't feed the animals!

Lily once again missing all the fun! 6-21-08
Daddy ran a 5K race and Lil and mommy walked it...Lily left mommy to walk by herself when she crashed 5 minutes into the walk. This is Lil and dad post race!

Carrots, Red Sox & Mother's Day

Lily's first taste of carrots...
Down the hatch...
And we have victory! She actually loves veggies (just not the peas so much)
Jumperoo action shot!
Please mommy pay attention to me instead.
Fine, I will tak matters into my own hands!

Look at those little piggies sticking out of her jammies.

What a cutie butt all snuggly warm!

Mom and Lil at her first Red Sox game - Tiger Stadium 5-8-08

As you can see we had a wardrobe change...(the temp dropped and it called for a warmer jacket)
The whole fam!
A nice man offered to take our pictures for us...

and insisted that we do both views!

Lil all bundled up with dad! (The stadium is really nice!)
Dad replacing our leaky faucet...what a good job he did!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Lil had tons of fun with the paper that was in the gift bag.
Daddy didn't have a chance to throw his t-shirt on before mom started snapping pictures! ha ha

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy

Here is a video of Lil showing off for the camera in her jumperoo. She is becoming quite the little jumper...

She even bounces on command.

Our Visit with Nonie and Great Nanie!

Tubby time with Nonie

Four generations of women in our family!

Daddy, Lil and mommy!
Here is Lil getting ready to eat applesauce for the first time (4/13/08)
Not sure what she thinks...

She opened up wide for this one!
The faces she made were as if the applesauce was tart. She would close her eyes and kind shrug up her shoulders.
Hanging out in the exersaucer!

Having a good old time, of course!

Dewey watching Lil having a good old time...

Last weekend we had Nonie and Great Nanie come out and visit with us! We had a wonderful time and Lily really enjoyed the one on one time she got to spend with them. We went to the really nice mall out here (about an hour away from here - heading towards Detroit) on Friday and then went out for dinner. On Saturday we went to the zoo, as it was a beautiful day and had a great time looking at the animals. Lily's favorite was the big asian cat things (not sure what they were but looked like giant house cats). We miss them and can't wait to see them again.
