A new play park - Michael liked climbing up the wall.

Michael is up on the bridge.

A little blurry - but another picture of the Yankee fans.

I thought taking pictures of all the animals was difficult - at least they would sit still for cheese!!!

Dad's out of town so we break out the Yankee clothes :)

We also visit a ballfield so Michael can run the bases.

Almost all gone

Here is the tree after the guys cut enough so I could get the car out.

We had a bad wind/rain storm - the tree fell in the front yard. Luckily the car had no damage.

This was by far Michael's favorite toy - the simple roll the ball and watch it travel down the levels.

Love how Michael has his tongue out (just like Grandpa Joe would do)

We had a fun trip to the Charlotte Museum of history - they had an old toy exhibit. Bryan's Uncle Thomas went with us. Michael was having fun showing Andrew how all the toys worked.

Andrew's not loving the grocery cart thing...but he does like his new hat...or maybe it is his cool clothes.

New car seats for everyone!! Michael likes his new big boy seat and Andrew likes all the room in his new seat.

Andrew thought it was very funny when Michael put his octopus on his head.

Michael had even more fun at the fountains with his friend Sophie!!

Michael loves to re-explore all the things he had that we brought back for Andrew. Here is Michael thinking he can

sit in the high chair...with his feet hanging way past the foot rest!!!

Can you find Andrew?? I loved stuffed animals but they seem to multiply!!!!

Woodstock must taste great!! Just like chicken.

Andrew is growing so fast - thought I would take some time out to dress him up and take pictures. Here he is with Snoopy.

One day when it wasn't too hot we went to the Birkdale fountains...needless to say Michael had a GREAT time!!!

Andrew was along for the ride...he didn't really show a preference for the owls or the hawks or the eagles. Poor Andrew - didn't realize his hot was turned.

We are at the Raptor Center with the playgroup. Every time Michael saw an owl he would point and say Owl Babies - that is a book he has that is a story about 3 baby owls...great story!!! He also took pictures of all the birds...unfortunately most pictures didn't come out well.

Michael washing his car...while riding around...pretty cool!!

We went shopping and I bought mini-ice cream sandwiches - they were a little melted so I gave Michael a spatula to help him eat it - he thought it was so much fun he wanted a spatula every time he ate one!! Didn't like to get his hands dirty!!

We went to St Mary's church - very beautiful church. Michael took a great picture of Bryan and me. Michael got to see the old fashioned candles - with real fire!

We stopped at a Barnes and Noble - I didn't know that all Thomas train tables had the same layout at the store...this store had lots of trains out AND there was no one else around.

Andrew was lifeguard while Michael was in the pool with Dad.

The bridge and waterfalls.

Here we are at a park with waterfalls and the longest suspension pedestrian bridge (according to the travel guide).

Andrew not so impressed.

Vacation!!! Just an overnight trip to Greenville, SC but the first hotel room for Andrew.

Michael helping Andrew learn how to smile for the camera.

I think Andrew got scared when I misread his 'Fun on the Farm' shirt/bib - I thought it said 'Funny Farm'...

Michael was drawing and this was the first time his faces had eyes, noses, hair...this isn't his best picture - but the other colors didn't

photograph well.

Andrew looks like he is at a desk when he is in his chair, Michael uses it as a foot rest.

Justin was in town for the weekend and stopped by for a visit. Andrew was very happy to see his Godfather, so were we!!

Ready for the 4th of July

Good morning!!

Sailor Andrew and his first mate

We rearranged the playroom - changing the rug and rearranging toys.
