Day 242 (Tuesday)



On Tuesday the 30th, we got up and headed to Jungle Java in Canton to meet up with my very good friend Anne and her two kids (Ava and Cole). I was so excited to see Anne and consider her to be one of my "must see" people when we come to MI. 

We had a great time catching up, laughing, and watching the kids play. Before she arrived, Steve and I went into the toddler area with Gus and played with him, but alas, he wanted bigger and better things to climb. He went into the big kids area and actually had a great time. Steve felt like he was going to die... it's a lot of climbing and not made for super tall adults.

Here are some fun pictures from our day with Anne and the kids:



The inside... I so wish we had one of these here in NC!!

Gus is so camera shy (yeah right)





Wee!!! Getting ready to go down the slide!

Ava, Gus, and Cole

Ava is such a great helper!!

Cole was hungry and ready for McDonald's

They gave Gus an awesome chair for his birthday!

Anne is such a great mom... I wish we lived closer


 After the morning at Jungle Java (and I totally meant to get a picture of me and Anne), we headed to McDonald's for lunch. We sad our goodbyes and then headed back to my parents' house for an afternoon of hanging with my dad.

Gus must be special... Pap doesn't share his Doritos with ANYONE!

We met with Fr. Terry and Mary Breeding at Outback for dinner and it was wonderful. It's always nice to see Mary, but it was even nicer to have the time with Fr. Terry as well. Mary gave Gus a Mater book and stuffed toy that he loves. She's so good to him.

It was a wonderful day!

Day 241 (Monday)




We had a wonderful day yesterday! Gus and I got up around 6:45 and let Steve sleep in. We played in my parent's livingroom and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the On Demand channel.











After Steve got up, we headed to Sidetracks in Depot Town to meet Amy Lynn for lunch!












We had a great lunch and then headed to Ikea and got some goodies for Gus. We had evening plans with the Kuhns and so we headed to Woodhaven around 3:45 and I was so excited to see Aimee!!






We had pizza and then went to the park!












We had a fabulous time and headed home around 8:00. We did get to see Aimee's mom and dad, and it was great to visit with them!!

Day 240




We had a wonderful day!! We got up and headed to Algonac to catch the ferry to Russell Island. What a fun adventure!

C, P and T were already on the boat when we arrived so we stood inside with T. The above picture is Gus with Steve and T.

Once on the island, we were greeted by Gus's Aunt Sharon and cousins Madelyn and Olivia!

We walked to their house and Gus immediately enjoyed some fresh watermelon.



Here are some additional pictures from our wonderful day!



Everyone relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous weather!

Gus's family gave him gifts for his birthday and had a cake for him! He sat on C's lap while enjoying his cake and it was so sweet. :)

Everyone left and we stayed for another hour. It was a perfect day and Steve and I feel so blessed to have an incredible relationship with Gus's family!
