fun may

"Fun May" is a saying that my old college roommie and I came up with a hundred years ago when we had an exceptionally fun time in May (it may have had something to do with just having graduated, we took several road trips, and had limited responsibilities in our life). At any rate we still have Fun May (and june, july, august, you get the picture) around here. Garrett and Cindy went on a field trip with his school to a farm and got to do all sorts of neat stuff. We decided to try out Thomas the Train at Greenfield Village, which sounded like a good idea. The weather was cold, raining sidways, Ezra was on his 80th ear infection of the season (coming next month: TUBES!!), and we were all a little cranky. But aside from that they seemed to enjoy themselves! We hit the Detroit Zoo for the first time with friends, celebrated Cindy's 35th, and at the very end of the month Cindy took on the project of tearing up our front yard, installing a sprinkler system, and laying new sod. With the help of two of her friends, our handy neighbor Hal, and two shorty helpers (pictured below) we turned out with an awesome front yard, a cool sprinkler system, and a crazy high water bill for those first two months!

We are trying to return from the land of the long lost bloggers.....and catch up 10+ months of pictures. Starting with February which was Ezra's first birthday!! He started walking in January at 11 months and was in constant motion by the time his birthday came! His actual birthday was nasty snowy day so I took the day off and stayed home with my boys!!! We had a great birthday party for him with family a few days (and a lot of snow) later.
