Bird Lake

Snuggling up with Grandpa

Ethan LOVED the lake, he literally fell asleep in the water - just leaned back into his lifejacket and took a little nap.

Michigan Visit

Abigail in her flower girl dress along with Ethan.  Abigail did great walking down the aisle although she didn't drop very many flower petals.  Her basket was still full when she was done.  She did walk down the correct aisle, unlike last time - kind of hard not to in this church.  A big part of why she didn't drop any flower petals was the reluctance of the ring bearer, Jacob, to walk down the aisle.  She got half-way down the aisle and noticed he wasn't walking with her so she went back up the aisle to go get him.  It was so sweet and she and Jacob became very good friends over the course of the weekend.  When he had to go to the bathroom she wanted to go into the men's room with him.  Over the course of the night we could hear him calling, "Abigail!" several times from his table across the room at the reception.

Busy times

Before we head off to the mainland again we figured you might want to know that Ethan took his first step and said his first and second words, dada and mama respectively.

Abigail's Birthday Party

Obviously with two trips to the mainland within a week of each other things have been kind of crazy but here are a few photos from Abigail's birthday party.

Happy 4th birthday Abigail!
