More Christmas
Sorry for the delay. Life is busy. I was also waiting to do more posts until I caught up with all the photo file management, but I will need a weekend for that! So, here are some more pics from Christmas.

Prepping for Christmas

| Cutout cookies with Memaw He asked on the way to MI whether Memaw had any special cookie cutters. We asked what he had in mind and he replied that he wanted one of Perseus doing the backhanded blow to behead Medusa. We replied that we were pretty sure that wasn't one she had. |

Trip to MI
Took a trip to Lansing last weekend for a family wedding (Glenn's oldest granddaughter Mary Linda). Since Cynthia and Alex were there with 2 year old Sam, and Alison and Marco were there with Carina, this was a great time for the cousins to play. Molly loves her "Sham" (Sam) and Leo and Carina really hit it off.
We went to Impression 5 with the Houstens and Granddad on Saturday.
Leo was not thrilled with the idea of "dressing up" for the rehearsal dinner--he is not a fan of collars or buttons.
Leo was also displeased by having to dress up for the wedding itself. This was the best we could do with squirrelly toddlers and a cantankerous 1st grader.
I'm hoping Bebop and or Uncle Marco got pictures of the kids including Carina.

Michigan Trip
We had a great time in Michigan last week. For all of the pictures go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dougans/sets/72157620420761818/ ***UPDATE: I originally loaded these with restricted permissions and you would have to sign up for Flickr and be registered as my 'friend' to see them, but I changed them back to public today.
First we went to Petoskey (about 9 hours in the car, including stops, on Tuesday) and spent Tuesday night through Friday morning there. Leo had a great time learning to skip rocks into the Little Traverse Bay, playing in downtown Petoskey, feeding seagulls, and exploring new playgrounds. Jeff's dad was with us Wedsnesday night thru Friday. We feed seagulls, went on the Kilwin's factory tour, went to Harbor Springs and saw even bigger boats, admired amazingly rich houses, and visited deer in the deer park, swam in the condo's outdoor pool, and visited downtown Petoskey during their art gallery walk. Leo enjoyed the live music (including a steel drum band) and playing on his garbage truck (a decommissioned cannon from the Civil War in one of the parks).
On Friday we drove the 3.5 hours down to Lansing to visit more with Jeff's family (mostly his Dad's side) since Jeff's sister is expecting her first baby (who Leo has named Colorado for some reason) in August. Leo had a great time playing with his "crazy cousins" as he called them. On Sunday we drove the 5.5 hours back to Urbana. We were wiped out!

He loved the old fashioned bubblers in downtown Petoskey.

weekend in MI
It was a busy trip to MI to see two sets of grandparents--with two parties, a trip to the children's museum, going to church, a trip to the zoo, a trip to the park, and three visits with friends. We were all very tired when we got home yesterday.
This was his favorite exhibit at the children's museum. I'm sending them money to get a complete set of strings--it only had two of the four.
Leo also really liked playing piano at the Dunns.
We didn't have time to see everything at the zoo, but Leo liked the goats--he even petted them.
He's trying to count all of the penguins--which he insisted we see before we left.
We also went to the new big park with Granddad--here he is trying to teach Leo how to use the digger--it took a lot of coordination. We'd been planning to go to the Splash Pad there (I think it's the same product/company like the one we took him to at my Mom's) but the weather was cool and cloudy.
Leo climbed up this rope bridge all by himself.
Ms. Brenda taught him how to eat a cherry with a pit. He liked it. That night he had three slices of cantaloupe, two strawberries, two raspberries, and a cherry (after eating hardly any dinner).
