Feeding Time

Lizzy attempting to feed herself!

Harris Hill

 Summery Liz

Spending time at Harris Hill... I think my parents have a picture from close to 20 years ago with my nephew on the same ride... I don't think Jamie is as big a ham as Michael is though!

Mikey and Liz

They really do dig each other...

Glider Weekend at Harris Hill

 Gliders. One of Michael's favorite things in the whole wide world..... This week in Elmira (the Soaring Capital of the US) is a glider competition.... We watched them tow glider after glider up into the air Saturday morning... Michael can tell you all about the planes... Red nose and yellow nose are the favorites.

 The little white streaks in the sky above Mikey's head are a glider and a tow plane that just took off.

The grandparents and the grandkids... Liz was watching the gliders though!

summer in Rochester

 Our view of the Blue Angels during the recent airshow

 Blueberry picking

 Enjoying the fruits of our labor (and by our labor I"m not including Michael's.... he basically "sampled" for us)

 Enjoying dinner

 mmmmm.... orange veggie (not a clue which it was....  )

 ok kids. act like you like each other.

cruising in the wagon at the zoo!

Lizzy's first baseball game

One perk of a non profit is occasionally being gifted with free baseball tickets... Michael was off at Camp Ciarmoli for a week so Lizzy got to attend... I'm not sure she had a clue what it was all about!

Happy Independence Day!

Not only is it the 4th of July, but it's also Lizzy's 1/2 birthday. Lucky girl. The entire country throws her a party every year on her 1/2 birthday! Can't believe she's been here for 6 months already. We love her more than life (and the exact same amount as her awesome older brother)

Summer time living is easy!

 Hanging out in the pool!

 Notice a little girl sitting unassisted.... Not sure she could do it for a long period without holding on the pool, but she beat her brother in this one by 1 day. (He sat alone at 6 months, she mastered it 1 day shy of 6 months)

 First wagon ride around the neighborhood...

First Jeep ride.... (don't worry.... Donald was right there the entire time)

Around the Family Room

 Please note Lizzy's change of outfits. Spit up happens.

In the bouncing frog!

Happy Independence Day!

feeding time

 So Lizzy not only likes to eat but she also likes to shove her hand into her mouth with the food.... I'm not entirely sure that she really gets that much in her, but she's a sure thing for winning the Camp Billings pie eating contest in 2020 if she uses this strategy!

Of course, this also means she gets lots of baths. Good thing she loves them!
