Yikes the weather!

I am a very bad aunt and forgot our camera this weekend for cousin Gabriella's Baptism. I will get some pictures and post them soon.

After a long and exhausting week (for everyone, especially Mike who worked 14 hours on Friday) we packed up early Saturday morning and went to southeast Michigan to visit family. I was supposed to take my nephews Ethan and Dawson to the Detroit Science Center, but the weather was SOOOOO horrible in Detroit, that I decided against that. Instead, we still braved the weather (with Mike driving, of course!) and took the boys to lunch and an arcade so they could have some fun.

The weather did not let up at all on Saturday, so Mike had to shovel out Grandma's driveway just so we could park the Jeep there overnight. Thank goodness Sunday was just cold, but no snow. 6 inches had to be shoveled out of our driveway in Lansing when we got home. UGH!

Well, start of another week and hopefully Joe will not get into too much stuff this week, like trying to climb the stairs without one of us around..... Gotta remember to shut that door! :-)

Northern Winter Wonderland

We finished our Holiday time off up north. Joe loves it outside, even when it was night and FREEZING! Joe also had his first tractor ride- which is hard to see in this picture.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my family in Lapeer. Thank goodness the weather held until the evening, and everyone made it home safely in time for Santa to visit. My handsome little man had a great time- but of course his outfit no longer fits him!

Second Date

Abby Meyers and Joe had a second attempt at a play date just before Christmas..... I think this one went much better than the first where Abby was teething and Joe slept! :-) They both had a great time playing with the loads of toys that Joe got from his early Christmas parties.

Double Trouble

So how much trouble do you think these two will be for their parents?!?! Cousin Ayden and Joe certainly had a good Christmas and I don't even want to think about the trouble they were plotting for next year.

Standing is so easy

So, it is very hard to get a picture of a walking baby, and since Joe was not walking yet in this picture, we were so proud that he was standing on his own! But as of this posting he is walking full speed ahead with no help anymore.

Where in the world did the time go.....

Horrible mommy blogger here- letting you know that I will update a lot of pictures from the holidays tonight. (But have to get a load of laundry going first!) Having a new job where I am in an office until 5PM is wrecking havoc on my schedule right now.... need to figure out a new routine!

We spent Christmas on the road with family and then went to the winter wonderland of Gaylord for the remainder of the Holiday.

All is well here, Joe is walking on his own now- here comes the gate!!! He has 8 teeth in and I think some more coming because of the cold and cough that he can't shake.

Have fun looking at the new pictures.
