Trip to Wisconsin

Scott and I just got back from 5 days in Wisconsin...without Tyler. It was our first trip together without our boy. Although we missed him very much, it was nice to get away. Scott was in his friend Clint's wedding. We spent Wednesday and Thursday in Door County, Wisconsin, with our good friends Tod and Erin. Door County is called "The Cape Cod of the Midwest". Fish Creek is very charming, cute, and definitely a place we plan on visiting again. Here are a couple of pictures of us on the shore of Lake Michigan. Stay tuned for photos and details of the wedding!

Tyler stayed with our parents while we were away and had a fabulous time with them. Thank you so much for taking care of our little monkey!

First Trip to Urgent Care

Don't be alarmed... everything is fine. Today Tyler woke up with a big infected blister on the tip of his left index finger. It popped, looked fine, and then after playing outside, the entire finger was red and swollen. Our pediatrician is out this week, so off to urgent care we went. It took a nurse, Scott, and I to hold our monkey down while the doctor drained the blister and removed what looked like a sliver or stinger of some sort. As of bedtime, his finger was looking good and he'll make a full recovery and be back to digging in the dirt in no time.
In other news, Tyler got to wear his red shoes for the first time today. How cute are they?


Check out my new kicks!

Cheerios, Anyone?

Clearly Tyler and Kirby can't be trusted with a box of cereal

4th of July Weekend

Hope everyone had a nice long weekend! Katie and Aric were in town and it was so great to see them (and Katie's belly full of twins!). We had a baby shower for Katie on Saturday which was very nice. The weather while they were here wasn't top notch, so we pretty much just hung out with the family and ate a lot. Tyler also had his first introduction with the horses at Grandpa Doug and Grandma Christine's house. On the 4th, Scott, Tyler, and I went out to the Peschels gorgeous home on Whitefish Lake for a couple of hours. Tyler was obsessed with playing in the fountain they had. We had to leave before the fireworks started, but Tyler didn't seem to be a big fan of the noise anyway. Maybe next year?
Yay! Water! My Favorite!

Nice Horsey!
