Dressing Up

Mike cleaned out and reorganized the hall closet and in the process Mary got to play dress up! 

Wisconsin Visitors

I know, it has been too long. The past month I have been working full time since my job share partner is on maternity leave and once I get home I spend as much time with Mary and then I crash. Mary is going to 15 months on the 7th. She is babbling all the time and her new words are "all go" when her snack is all gone or the food on her tray is all gone. Her great Aunt Connie taught her to say "later" which she says with her queen like wave. She likes playing in the neighbor's sprinkler so we bought her one. Mary will put her toes in the sand next week as the Hyle family ventures down to Destin, FL. Enjoy some pics. Mike's parents and his aunt were in town last week and we had a great time together!

Mary is trying on her new slippers from a box of hand-me-downs.

Look at my girl's belly. She is thriving!!

Fun at the Park

During spring break Mary and I met up with some friends from Mason at Winton Woods Park. We had a great time playing, walking the 2 mile loop, and catching up. 

Nikki, Broden and Kori joined us at the park.

Cousin Fun

Mike's sister and our niece and nephew came down from Rochester, NY for a few days of quality time. We had a great time with them even though they tired us out. Each night Mike and I went to bed a little earlier. We had fun going to CoCo Key, Khron Conservatory, The Museum Center and visiting Cheese and Plate (my parents). If you want to see more pictures of our adventures check out the right side of the blog. We hope they come down again soon!!!

Peyton and Owen with their tired aunt and uncle.

Aunt Jen reading Mary's favorite book.

If you look closely you can see a butterfly on Owen's shirt next to his right hand. It stayed with him as we walked around. Owen was great at identifying all the different butterflies with his brochure.

At my parents house Peyton tried on a Rockette outfit my mom had bought. It was too small but it did the trick. Check out the future Rockette!!

Mary had a tumble when playing football with her cousins. She didn't let go of the ball as she crashed down but she was a mess when we picked her up!

 

Mary's First Haircut

Mary received her first haircut this weekend. She did a great job. She was very interested in watching her stylist work. She left with her first pig tails. I think she looks a lot older then she really is. 

The Bear Posse

Mary has a nickname of Mayr which rhymes with Bear. My mom made us these shirts and so we proudly sported them within the confines of our own home.
