A Good 2 Weeks

OMG! The last two weeks have been completely amazing. Erin, Rob, and Maggie were in town for the first week. Their little baby is so adorable! Caddie had so much fun playing with her a Lucy too! She licked her face a couple of times (Lucy, not Maggie), but Caddie didn't mind too much. Maggie and Caddie went to babies and books together and had a blast singing songs and reading books. We all went to the zoo together and had a great time, even though Caddie was feeling a little under the weather (she got her first molars). We went out to eat and saw a concert.... Such a busy week!

It was so much fun having them here and we miss them already!

The next week, Brendan had off from work. It was so nice to be able to spend time together as a family. We went to the park, swimming, and on lot's of walks. Brendan also got Caddie to start eating with a spoon!

Caddie loved spending so much time with her daddy and I did too!

Concert

Last Sunday, Brendan, Claire, Bridget, and I went to the coolest concert ever! We went to see Griffin's band Jiva and Spencer's band After Midnight Project at Mac's Bar in Lansing. We had so much fun dancing, jumping around, and being crazy!

Silly

My daddy is so silly! He is always making me laugh! Especially during lunch time! I love my daddy!

Aunties

I just have to say that Caddie is one lucky little girl. She has the coolest aunts ever! Aunt Claire may have squirted her with a water gun, but she loves her so much. She even called her on the telephone twice! Aunt Erin is always buying Caddie the cutest clothes and the coolest books and toys. And Caddie really loves her new cousin Maggie. She tells me all the time that she can't wait to see them. (And Uncle Rob too!) She points at Aunt Erin's picture on our wall all of the time and says "na!"
And then there's Aunt Bridget. Caddie loves to play with her and her cell phone. Aunt Bridget is loud and fun and crazy and Caddie loves it. We're going to miss her so much when she moves to New York. Caddie is so lucky to have such great aunts around!

Fun in the Sun

Summer is underway here in Michigan! The weather has been wonderful, so we have been doing lots of oudoor activities. Yesterday, Brendan, his sisters Bridget and Claire, Caddie, and I went swimming at our friend Carol's house. She loved splashing in the pool with everyone! Caddie has also been playing with her wading pools that she got for her birthday. She doesn't really like to go in them yet, but she loves to splash the water and play with her water toys.
Caddie just generally likes being outside, whether it's at the park, the pool or in our own backyard. She just loves to have the space to walk and explore. Sometimes she even finds treasure!

New Job!

Brendan got a new job! He was working at the Better Health store in Lansing as the produce manager. As we all know, Brendan is much more interested in art than produce! He was offered a position at Retroduck, a t-shirt company in East Lansing. He is currently training and in August will start running the shop. We are all so proud of him and know that he will do great things there! You can check out retroduck.com to see some awesome t-shirts and designs!

Babies and Books!

Today, Caddie and I went to Babies and Books at the library. We go every Thursday morning. We read stories, sing songs, and play with toys. It's also a really great opportunity for Caddie to socialize with other babies.
Caddie loves to read and play with others, so she loves coming to Babies and Books every week. It is hard for her to sit still because she always wants to turn the pages of the books herself!
At the end of the hour, Linda (her teacher) takes out a big box of toys for all of the babies to play with. Every week is a different kind of toy. Today it was musical instruments. It was loud, but fun!
