Hanging Out?

So my brothers decided to come over and hang out. This is their idea of hanging out.

Apparently this one doesn't like flashes.

This one doesn't mind so much.

Up, Down and Across

In the Toy Box

Hot or Cold?

Olivia has always preferred her bottles warm. Not luke warm, but warm slightly hot warm. She has been known on more than one occasion to refuse a bottle because it wasn't at the right temperature. For some time now I have been trying to get her to drink colder formula. Mind you she love ice water, cold juice and ice. One wouldn't think that this would be a problem. I just tried to give Olivia a sippy cup of cold formula. After one sip she immediately spat it out with a "blahhh" threw the cup on the ground and left the room. (Not a drama queen at all!) After I heated it up and gave it to her again, she took many long drinks and began to dance while drinking. Apparently the warmer the better. I am not so sure how she is going to do with cold milk!

Detroit Zoo

We headed off to see the animals! My dad, brothers Paul and Matt, Paul's girlfriend Lori, my best friend Rachel and her fiance, Jeff were all brave enough to venture to the Detroit Zoo with us on Saturday. We had a great time. They have made many improvements from my childhood. One of the them is procuring a male lion from a crack house in Detroit. Only in Detroit! They also updated the Artic exhibits and they now have "The Artic Ring of Life." Basically after a winding trail you end up in an underground tunnel with seals and polar bears swimming around you. It is really neat. At one point the polar bear was sitting on the tunnel! Chris and I missed that but Matt, Paul and Lori got a nice view!!

Kensington Farm

Since it is not 100 degrees in Michigan we have been able to take advantage of doing things outdoors. The other day Paul, Lori, Matt and I took Olivia to Kensington Farm. We had a great time visiting with all the animals. Olivia really liked the sheep. She pet a goat and pretty much stared at every thing else. We watched a calf get bottled fed and then stood around in disbelief and disgust as the farm worker shoved her fingers in the calf's mouth after he was done eating to let him suckle on her fingers. It was one of the most disgusting sounds and sights I have witnessed. The 8 pounds of drool didn't help either.

Memorial Day and Blogging

Well, I decided that it was time to join the blogging world. I figured this way if you really care what is going on in our lives then you can check it out as opposed to me bombarding your inbox with an email that is way to long to keep your attention and doesn't include half the things that I would like. So here we are.

Today was a great Memorial Day. We spent the day with at Lori's (Paul's girlfriend) house with her family for a BBQ. Lots of good food always makes for a good time in my book. Although that just may be the pregnancy talking!
