Father's Day

Last week went by pretty quickly, then came the weekend. We left early Saturday morning for the lake, after a quiet Friday night. I worked on trimming the trees and the landscaping out there, while Jodi got things squared away inside. Jerry, Wendy, and Holly came out later and spent the afternoon, and we had a great day. We split our time between the beach, throwing washers, and just hanging out, then in the evening we grilled and had a nice dinner.

MB & Kristi came out early on Sunday, but we spent most of the morning cleaning, as Judy and the rest of the clan were arriving in the afternoon. We did have some time to relax though, and I opened some Father's Day cards and gifts. Jodi & Connor did a great job, and I loved all the stuff! I got some leisure pants, and stuff for washing and detailing my car(s), plus some other items. It was a great afternoon, and when Judy arrived we all hung out for a while before we took off for home.

The thing is, even though we had a great weekend, I forgot both the video camera and the still camera! So no photos this week, unfortunately. It would have just been more of the same though, believe me. Connor, Connor and us, Connor and Ollie, Connor and Jerry, Connor and Wendy and Holly, maybe a couple of Judy and Connor, Connor on the beach, Connor attempting to eat grass... you get the idea.

Hey, some pretty big news on the Connor front: He's crawling, like a madman! He started "sort of" crawling almost a week ago, but now it's really game on. We are finding that we need to "baby proof" the house, like, yesterday. He's all over the place and pulls on anything he can get his hands on, plus if he's on any furniture, he has no fear of crawling to the edge and will keep right on going. So this should open a new chapter in the Connor story, I'd say.

Another Day at the Lake

I was down on the beach for a big part of Sunday, as it was just gorgeous again, but Connor was up top with the rest of the family. He says the water in Lake Michigan has to be in the mid-70s for him to go down there again! Ollie was around, as always.

Saugatuck.

We spent the weekend in Holland again, only Saturday we stopped in Saugatuck for the afternoon, which was really fun. The weather was just perfect, and it was the weekend of their film festival, which gets bigger every year it seems (see http://www.waterfrontfilm.org/). We just window shopped, had lunch, and stopped for a refreshing adult beverage here and there. By the end of the afternoon, the little man was pretty beat.

Photos

Some photos of Connor, just because I can.

Connor's Best Friend

This is Connor with his new BFF (sorry, Maxwell!), his bear Timothy. Timothy was a gift from Tina at Connor's baptism, for those who remember.
