I bet you are wondering...

I bet you are wondering where we've been? Enjoying summer in Rochester. It really has been a great one, other than that string of 90+ degree days. We really aren't cut out for that. The kids are doing great. In Liz's 7th month, she sprouted her first 2 teeth (in 1 weekend), mastered crawling and pulling herself to standing on anything she can get her hands on. She's getting much more steady on her feet and likes to pull daredevil moves and lets herself go free. At this rate, she'll be walking house to house for trick or treating on Halloween!!!

We haven't managed to snap alot of pictures. Well, that's not entirely true. I upgraded my phone and got an i-Phone. There are a bunch of pictures on there. It just isn't easy to get them on to the computer so I can put them in the blog... and this is a sampling of one of our regular photo shoots. Usually there is at least one of Michael lunging at the camera as well.  Liz definitely got the gadget gene as well. She regularly makes a beeline for the TV remote and when she snags it, she promptly attempts to eat it. Maybe that's what has made her really jump up in size... that and the fact that she'll eat just about anything presented to her for dinner... and her zeal for eating means she gets a bath each and every night...

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!
