Hannah's birthday

Yesterday we went to a friends house to celebrate her daughter's birthday. There was a swing there and Cole loved it, it started to put him to sleep.

Cole's on the move!

Just in the few weeks, Cole has gone from trying to crawl to crawling and now pulling himself up onto just about everything. He is so much fun right now.


With all the toys he has, he
prefers the dogs bowls.

He backed himself behind the

table and couldn't figure out how

to get out of there.

He's in his little jailbird outfit.

Kevin and Cheryl visited

Kevin and Cheryl visited over the Labor Day weekend. It was so great to catch up, we hadn't seen then in about 5 months. While they were here we celebrated Cheryl's birthday which was later in the week.

(Who would't like ice cream cake,

it's the best of both desserts?)

Beautiful Day on Lake Michigan

While Kevin and Cheryl were visiting, our friends Chad and Traci invited us to their boat for an afternoon on the water. It was the perfect weather and we stayed long enough to watch a great sunset!

Another perfect Michigan sunset!

Maybe he has a future as a

boat captain! Don't worry, he

wasn't in charge of steering,

thank goodness for auto-pilot!!

Playdate with Simon

A guy Justin works with and his wife had a baby the week before Cole. They came over so the boys could play together. Cole doesn't have a lot of 'buddies' his age, they are usually older. It was fun to watch them play together.

Searching for a Halloween costume

Maybe a penguin???


No, not a penguin. Cole is going
to be a giraffe. We'll take him to
a few houses in the neighborhood
and then hand out candy.
