A snippet of our day.

Sean likes to make giant creations involving Legos, construction vehicles, fire trucks, etc. He was not keen on having his pictures taken today.

Teresa didn't mind having her picture taken.

More pics to come soon - we are getting a new camera sometime this week hopefully, so we will have pictures and videos in better focus!

Go Irish!

Teresa

Welcome, Teresa Hogan Spoonhower! Born Thursday 8/26/10 at 12:46 pm. She was 7 lbs, 9 oz, and 19 inches long.

Everyone is doing fine, and big brother Sean has been giving lots of kisses. Amazingly everyone has been getting enough sleep so far - let's hope that continues! I will be posting more as I feel better - for now I am just resting and getting my energy back for the first couple of weeks.

Georgia

A few weeks ago we drove to Georgia to visit another EB, one of my very good friends from ND, and her husband and 1-yr-old son. It was hot and humid. We spent a lot of time on the back deck hanging out in and around the little pool. Sean loved it!

There were all sorts of interesting creatures around. We saw some lizards, bright green frogs, and here is a toad. Sean gave it a short ride in one of the trucks before it jumped out.

One day we went to Moody AFB to play - they had a playground and a pool.

Going gracefully down the slide.

The jets flying over were fun to watch, too.

Out for a walk around the neighborhood.

Sean, and Barley trying to get inside.

We found a little farm where you could pick your own blueberries. It was so hot, but the berries were very good!

We also stopped at another farm that sold fresh peach ice cream. More exciting for Sean though were the antique trucks they had.

We had a great time and it was great to catch up with some wonderful friends!

Champaign, Introduction to Drum Corps

A few weeks ago we drove to visit some good friends in Champaign. We really liked living in Champaign and were excited to go back.

One of our first stops was to our old house (which is actually newer than our new house). We had to check out the hybrid poplar that I planted in 2006. I bought it from the St. Joseph County Soil and Water Conservation District in IN for I think $1 or $2, and it was a 3-foot-long stick with no leaves. Look at it now! :)

Our friends have a 3-year-old and an almost-1-year-old, so Sean enjoyed playing with all of their toys. Of course I wish I had taken more pictures, here are just a couple.

*****

The Cavaliers were in Centerville one day for rehearsal, so Dada took Sean on a little excursion to check it out. Sean took along an old film panoramic camera. We still need to go pick up the developed film from the store to see how they turned out. I have low expectations considering he kept opening the back of the camera as he was taking pictures!

Finding a bit of shade. It was hot and humid that day.
