Our Little Rocker

So, Joe and Liam are hanging out one day and Liam just walks up to Joe holding his Elmo guitar just so. Could we have a future musician on our hands?? Uncle Vince (who plays the guitar) was quite proud to see this shot. He even has the messy, long hairdo of a modern rocker! We have been meaning to get that hair cut again...

A Fun Night Out! - June 28, 2008

Our friends, Mike and Melissa, got married at Pier Wisconsin at Discovery World, overlooking Lake Michigan with awesome views of Milwaukee. We had a great time dancing, enjoying beverages, a fantastic dinner and having good conversation with adults (YAY!) We realized we need to get out more! Needless to say, we don't have any pictures of the beautiful bride and groom, but we got some great shots of ourselves and the city...thanks to Joe.

Liam meets the Golden Eagle - June 25, 2008

We went to a BBQ on MU's campus to introduce the new B-ball coach, Buzz Williams. Good food, family-friendly and not a bad way to spend a weeknight. Liam was very intrigued, yet a little freaked out by the Eagle. It was quite funny.

Baby William's Baptism- June 15, 2008

Joe's sister, Anne and her husband Ben had a baby boy, William, in April and we were chosen to be the Godparents! And, no, the family did not aim to color-coordinate that day.

Liam's new playgym

Okay, this is from April, so I'm a little late. Liam got a new climber/slide/ball play area and he loves it! We finally got gates placed in the front and back yards so he's free to roam in our yard safely and we don't have to worry about him running off. Everytime we walk outside he wants to play with his "BALL!" (like he's never seen one before) which sometimes poses a problem when we just want to walk through the yard to get to the garage...

M-I-C-K-E-Y....

Yup, that's the whole fam in Orlando at Disney World. We had a really good time. Liam had his first plane ride and we were pleasantly surprised

that he handled it rather well. We stayed at a resort near Disney and went to parks 4 of the 7 days we were there. We visited the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Also visited friends in Tampa, - Steve, Heather and baby Jackson Darrey for an afternoon. Rest of the time spent at the resort pool, playgrounds and just lounging around. The weather was perfect - mid 80s, not at all humid (!) and down to the 60s-70s in early am and evenings. Especially since Milwaukee during that week was averaging in the 50s! At 18 mos., Liam won't remember a thing but he had a great time while we were there! Oh! And I got to spend my 31st birthday in "Japan" at Epcot eating yummy sushi...

Shave and a Haircut?

Liam received his first haircut this January at daddy's barber. He was young enough that it wasn't scary and he sat very nicely the entire time! He was just curious about the place and wondering what the heck was going on. No complaints! Oh, and his first haircut was free! An added bonus...
