Garage Sale Saturday

With Matt off playing golf this morning, DM and I took the opportunity to hit a couple garage sales. We browsed for almost an hour and finally came upon this little gem. Well worth our one buck I think.

Happy Seven Month Birthday to my Tongue (plus Caffrey) and a busy week

A few days ago DM began to use his tongue to garner some laughs.  He stuck it out once and I laughed audibly.  Since then the tongue creeps out and elicits variations on that reaction  Oh, the EXCITEMENT! 

For a few days now, every other smile has been accompanied by a long, happy tongue/smile much like the one above.  

Desmond has been especially cheerful this week.  Maybe it's because we had a very social week (he seems to be an extrovert).  On Monday, he hung out with Grandma Carole, Wednesday brought us a walk with one of our favorite friends, Emily, plus a trip to Rochester to visit Uncle Darrin (and Grandpa Gary - surprise!) and Papa who has been working down there for a few weeks. On Thursday we had lunch at the Midtown Global Market with Erin and Clara from our ECFE class, a fun and productive visit with Grandma Jacqui and Grandpa Gary (finally finished a sewing project), a quick stop at the Whelan house along with a stop at Grandma Carole's and Grandpa Jim's house, and on Friday we enjoyed our usual Friday Fun Night with Kris and Colin Mitchell.  A lot of fun and social time this week.  

Summer is so great!

Hoppy Easter - April 8, 2012

We celebrated our first Easter with DM.

It was a beautiful day. We took our traditional Sunday stroll to Starbucks and followed that up with some silliness. Thanks to Grandma Carole for the bunny ears. They gave us a few good chuckles. Caffrey insisted he be part of the fun and games. And who are we to deny him? You're welcome Caffrey

For lunch, we drove to the east side of Lake Harriet and shared a meal with Auntie Erin, Uncle Justin, their lovely friend Christine and her two charming daughters. There was even an Easter egg hunt courtesy of the Reazter Bunny! DM had a great time watching the little girls hunt for eggs, wore himself out, needed a nap and, no doubt, dreamed of colorful eggs.
