Milwaukee Visit

We're in Wisconsin this week for Lydia's Birthday party on Saturday.

We all survived the travel. I'm not sure how, but we do have a few pictures of Luke sleeping, but I think these are the only three times he has slept. He's been having a rough time.




Maybe he needs to fall asleep on Uncle Stephan when he is asleep?! At this point, I think we will try anything.


Snow is still here, just as cute as ever. It's nice to see her again.


Brendan has enjoyed sometime with Aunt Penny. Sitting on her lap is fun, but she makes sure that he gets enough zurbits (raspberries) on his tummy.


Brendan has worked very closely with Grandma to learn how to pet Snow gently. He adores her and makes sure to say "Hi" to her when he sees her. Snow is still uncertain of Brendan, but she enjoyed getting petted by Brendan.


Brendan has been spoiled with extra outside time. He has enjoyed playing outside with everyone. Here is Brendan trying to pull Daddy in the wagon. It didn't work out that well, but was fun while it lasted.


Despite Brendan's busy social life, he has found time to "ride" on Grandpa's Harley and untie Grandpa's shoes.


Super Brendan made a brief appearance the other day. There must be something wrong with the picture, since it looks like he needs someone's help to fly. I think it's just a bad angle or something.


Last night, we had dinner with the Thorsons (a family that Kira used to babysit for). They gave the boys a nice piggy bank to play with. Brendan enjoyed it today. Luke is letting Brendan play with it for a little while longer. Once he's big enough, I'm sure they will fight over it.



We took the kids to the Domes today. It was enjoyable, but both kids had a rough time.


Apparently, it wore Brendan out, since he wound up sleeping on the ride to Grandma's house and actually stayed asleep once we got in the house. As a result, he took his nap on the couch today.




Once Brendan was asleep, Luke woke up and got to play with Uncle Stephan and Aunt Penny.

Later today, we are going to the Milwaukee Zoo and Lydia will join us. It will be nice to see how much she has grown.
