Oh look! Even older pictures!

Y'all can blame Damian. He has this fancy-pants camera, which he uses to take amazing pictures, but he hardly has time to download them to his computer, let alone edit them, upload them, then post them here.

So. Anyway.

At the end of March, the three of us took a little road trip to Memphis to visit the Maurers (before they packed up and moved to Pittsburgh). We had a fantastic visit.

We skipped Graceland (we decided that we didn't like Elvis much at all, let alone enough to shell out 25 bucks a person), but did eat at the Arcade in his honor. While we were there, we were interviewed for Japanese TV and had to explain that, no, we didn't order the peanut butter and banana sandwich and, no, we don't normally eat them.

We also stopped at the Peabody for a cocktail, er, to let the kids see the world-famous ducks.

Jane, mesmerized by waterfowl.



Liam, mesmerized by the water. Not sure what the deal is with the ducks.

We also visited the Memphis Zoo.

Checking out the sea lion show. Well, Scott is. Jane appears to be checking out the exit.






LD, rocking Jane's sunhat.

We had some downtime, too.

And LD loved the Maurer's coffee table.

A very, very belated thank you to Scott, Jonnett, and Jane for their hospitality. We can't wait to visit you in Pittsburgh!

Memorial Day

While we're waiting for those birthday pictures, I can at least put up the pictures from Memorial Day.

Every year we head to Cleveland** for Uncle Graham's 5th Annual Memorial Day Cookout and Cornhole Tournament. This was (obviously) Liam's first time, and he had a ball. Endless attention, delicious food, and an inflatable pool from Uncle Graham? What's not to love?

**video has some language. you've been warned.

Lovin' from Mimi.



Peas and ... Chicken, maybe?

Filler (but at least there are pictures!)

LD had his big first birthday bash last weekend. The pictures from his birthday and the party are upcoming, but until then, here are some from the past month.

Scorecard

Megan mentioned that Liam's teeth can be seen in the videos I posted a couple of days ago. You may remember that Liam didn't get his first tooth until April 30. I thought it was time for an update:

Number of teeth on April 29th: 0
Number of teeth on June 29th: 6

It's been a very quiet, restful two months.

This Is How We Spend Our Days

This game never gets old.

Nap Fail

I took this about 20 minutes after I put Liam down for his afternoon nap and about 25 minutes after he almost fell asleep in his lunch. But he's definitely not tired, as you can see.
