The Summer 2011 Update, Continued...

As promised, here are some more pictures from the past couple months.

Here's Leo just hanging out before church one day.


The boys have spent quite a bit of time in our backyard this summer.  The trampoline came with the house we're renting, but when we eventually move, I think we'll have to buy one because the boys can't live without it now!



Luke also painted his very own bird house.  He was very excited about it.


Here's a couple from when I came home from my trial in Florida.



And finally, here are some more of the boys just loving life.




We still need to pull our pictures off Courtney's iPhone, plus get the pictures from Kari's wedding, so more to come!

Another Overdue Post

2011 has not been a good year for keeping up on the blog, but I'm now determined to get back on track.  The summer has just flown by - I was down in Florida for almost 5 weeks for a trial, my sister, Kari, got married, and Courtney and the boys continued to explore Cleveland.  I'll start with the picture updating here and put up another post tomorrow.  Today's themes will be bath time and Father's Day weekend, a natural combination (right?). 

The boys continue to love bath time, particularly since bubbles have become a regular feature. 




We started out Father's Day weekend with a father-son trip to an Indians game.  It was Luke's first baseball game!  He loved the hanging out with Daddy, hot dogs, and ice cream part of it - but he didn't really like how loud everyone got when they cheered.  All in all, we still had a good time even if Luke didn't get into the game that much. 


We parked at my office, so Luke got to see where Daddy spends a lot of his time during the day.


The next day, we took an old-style train through the Cuyahoga Valley from Cleveland to Akron and back for the boys.  Continuing our theme of "firsts," this was their first time on a train.


Then on Father's Day, Courtney and the boys treated me to a very nice day.  Courtney dressed the boys in "Team Daddy" shirts that were, well, a little big, but it just made them even more cute. 





Stay tuned for more tomorrow!
