Sunny Day!

Yesterday was the first nice day we have had in a long time. We took full advantage of the sunshine by getting outside and playing in the garden. Daniel was happy hanging out in his playpen, and Brian and I got a lot done. Even Penny came outside for awhile!

Eggs!

Daniel had egg yolks for the first time this morning! He really seemed to like them...which is good since we will have more eggs than we know what to do with this fall! This was also the first time he had fed himself an entire meal. Penny was so excited, and is now sleeping off the excitement and a full belly on the couch. If the sun stays out, we will probably make our way to the Farmer's Market this afternoon.
Daniel's top two teeth have finally come through! I can't believe how fast they are coming in...he'll be able to eat corn on the cob by the end of the summer for sure!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Phew! We have had a busy week! Since Daniel has started crawling, there isn't a dull moment at home. His favorite things to get into have been Penny's rawhide chews and her water dish. He has already pulled the water dish down and started playing in the water! We seem to have broken Penny of getting into Daniel's toys...it had never occurred to me that we would have to keep Daniel out of Penny's toys! We have been garage sale-ing, shopping in Gaylord, and watched Erin's graduation, too!

Painting!

We were only home for a day before we began another project. I have been dying to paint our living and dining rooms since January, but we held off until the weather was nice enough to open up the windows. Fearing that day may never actually get here, we painted anyway. Daniel went to Grandma's for the evening so we could get everything done. It was a long day, but other than rehanging some pictures everything is done!

Last Days in Baltimore

We made it home, safe and sound, after staying a couple extra days in Baltimore. It was such a great trip, and we are already missing everyone! Daniel and Brian napped on the plane ride home, much to the chagrin of the passengers in a 3 row radius! Not only are we missing Grandma and Grandpa (and everyone else!), but we are also missing the beautiful Baltimore weather!

A Few Videos

Daniel started crawling since we have been here. He is getting pretty fast! And practicing so much that he has a little blister on his foot! And, for anyone interested...Grandpa D fixed my laptop and this is the first blog update on my laptop since January!! Yippee!

Maryland Zoo!

Yesterday we went to the Maryland Zoo. We had a beautiful day for a walk in the zoo. Daniel seemed to enjoy himself - he lasted through most of the day, but finally fell asleep at the very end. We saw polar bears, giraffes, and lots of other really neat things!
