Photos

Many of the following photos were taken at Greenfield Village in MI. We went with my aunt and saw an old car show (nothing before 1924? 1932? Old!), rode the train and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the village. It was rainy in the morning but cleared up to a beautiful sunny day. Ethan looks rather bummed in these family photos but I think that's because he wanted to be moving and looking, not just sitting and having his photo taken.

Ethan and I rode the merry go round. We sat in a seat that rocked. I probably should have considered that rocking and going in a circle may be a bit much, but I think he enjoyed his first ride nonetheless.

Cool old truck! You can almost see my pregnant belly, but I was also storing a bunch of things in my front pocket. So it's more of a kangaroo look.

A lot of the old vehicles had the three flags on the front.

Love this house! Ethan again looking "grrrr." Note how packed up we have the stroller...how did we ever survive without a stroller!

Ok, I can't quite figure out how to move photos around in blogger. So this is skipping back a month to the  National Tractor Pulling Championships we went to. Very LOUD!! Next time we'll bring hearing protection so we can sit in the stands and watch. It was fun to see all the tractors though.

They had a museum of old racers.

Ethan people watching.

Skipping again, back to the place we are living. Ethan was "helping" dry the silverware. Which mostly means he found the large spatulas, grabbed them and ran around the house. :D

Daddy & Ethan looking at cars on the tv. So cute!

Ethan showing my dad how to put a bottle of oil in the microwave.

Back to our MI trip! In my aunts city there is a Farmer's Market. This was a table with heirloom tomato varieties. Don't you just want to reach through the screen and eat one!

Once again, my favorite house at Greenfield Village. If I had 100 acres and money to spend we'd have a home like this. So cool!

Ethan & my aunt at Olga's, yummiest restaurant east of the Mississippi! I worked at an Olga's one summer too. Love their food and can only get it when we visit MI!

Ethan playing with my hairdryer. He loves any type of machine with a cord. Really anything machine-like or cord-like.

TJ and Ethan...when we eat out Ethan is always on the move!

"Hello camera!"

Happy daddy.

"Now hold still for just a second..."

More August Photos

Ethan still loves the vacuum cleaner.

Sound asleep.

Tee hee! This is two blocks from where we are living. Yeaa gizzards! :D

Whenever he gets the chance he sneaks into the dogs cage.

Hello!

It's getting colder here and I can't find Ethan's jacket....

...so he's stuck going out in my pink jacket, and his pink pacifier. Later I don't think he'll be thrilled for these photos. :D

My mom's outdoor cat trying to break in. She jumps up several feet to hang on the back door screen.

Ethan helping me put cracked pepper in the deviled egg bowl.

Love that smile.

This is a curious look.

And for those waiting for pregnancy photos...sorry! I keep forgetting to take one. Pregnancy brain?
