MI Vacation- Fremont edition

So, I guess I just needed a week to find my camera because there is no shortage of pictures here!  We spent the next week of our vacation up at my grandparents cottage in Fremont.  It was so great to see Brandon and Amy and Parker again and get to know Parker even more.  I am so thankful for so many great sister-in-laws who are raising such good children and are a support system/ resource for all my 'mommy' questions!  Without further adieu, here goes the on-slot of photos!  

let the fun begin.... can't imagine what next summer will be like!!! I am sure there will be no sitting for the parents while chasing these two cool kids around!

 Thanks for pushing me around Parker, had so much fun!

 The pontoon boat was the perfect play pen

I wish this was a video so you could see his dance moves and head-bob! 

Such a ham :)

 all the great-grand-kids on the Lokker side!

Duke missed us sooo much :)  Good to be home!

MI Vacation- Fennville Edition

Hutchin's Lake with the Engbers was an absolute BLAST!  It was really my first time on "vacation" with the whole family.  Although they often visit us in Whitinsville we are never totally on vacation because we continue working and hanging out with them in the evenings, so this was a real treat!  True relaxation, well, as much relaxing as one could do with 11 adults and 8 children all in the same house.  It was great to spend time together :)  Wish I took more photos, but I know others did so we could share more later!

My stats

So I know it has been a long while since the last update, but here is a quick one before the vacation pics are loaded on the computer. 

Had the "six month" check today, although he is much closer to seven months old! He came in at 2'3" and weighed 17 lbs! Healthy growing boy that loves to sit up and chatter all day long :)
