The Boys

Eric and Mike playing with Playdoh with not a kid in sight.

Butterflies

Nora got a catapillar to butterfly kit for Christmas (thanks Uncle Jake and Aunt Kristin!!) but we didn't want to have the catapillars delivered until summer. There was something wrong with our first batch so they sent us new ones. We had a really good time with them. Nora learned alot about chrysalides and metamorphasis. She liked to help pick out what we were going to feed them. They really liked melon and bananas. They even mated! We let them go in our back yard when it was time. The best part was when we let one go in the house...of course I had to wait until Eric was out of the room :) It was so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next summer.

Claire - 6 months

Here is Nora holding little baby Joey who belongs to Tiana (my cousin) and Greg. He is seriously one of the cutest babies I have ever seen.

I may have done this twice. Anyway, Kyrsa, Ryan and I went to the IMAX downtown and we all went for ice cream after dinner. It was a really fun day.

We also went to the Nature Center.

Kyrsa came to see us in July. We had a picnic and went to the Science Museum dowtown. It was yucky weather but we managed to have a pretty good time.
