Runabout

Do you remember when we went to an antique boat show on our last trip up to the cabin? Well, John went to it again and this time he bought a beautiful old runabout.

Day Trips

We went on several day trips while we were in Wisconsin. We went to the Iron Mountain Iron Mine, although Julien was too scared to go on the tour, so we looked at the rock shop while Cindy and Richard took the tour into the mine. We also went to Escanaba to look at the light house and historical museum, which was quite fun. It was a bit scary carrying Sebastian up the tiny spiral staircase, but it was worth it! And last but not least, we went back to Camp Seven to take the steam train and look at the old logging camp.

Projects

There were lots of projects to do up at the cabins. Tara built steps leading down to the lake with sand and logs. Tuti (the cat) was very happy with the new fancy cat boxes Tara built her and Julien enjoyed the multi-tiered sand box. Richard painted the trim (do you see the hornets nest above him? Luckily Cindy got rid of the hornets before he started painting). Cindy was always busy doing something-in this photo she is creating a fire pit, which we enjoyed in the evenings.

Smile

Sebastian has started to smile!

At The Cabin

We are back from our trip up north to Cindy and John's cabin in Wisconsin. It was beautiful, and relaxing as it could be with a five week old and an almost five year old. My cousins Tara and Givan were there, which was a special treat because we hadn't seen them in a while. Julien especially enjoyed their company. The weather was amazing, so we spent as much time as possible outside.

New Things

1. Sebastian has started to hold his head up!
2. Julien is really into dress-up. Yesterday Julien was a Star Trooper, an Astronaut, a lemur, a dragon, and a bug. When I got out of the shower Julien came into the bathroom with his batting helmet and construction paper mask and asked, "do you want to go to the moon with me?"
3. I had my first caffeinated coffee in 10 months.

HOT!

Knuckle

Julien has been very excited about Sebastian. He has learned that Sebastian loves to suck his knuckle. Sometimes Julien calms Sebastian down, sometimes he winds him up.

Zoo

A couple weekends ago, when Sebastian was two weeks old, we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. We had a good, but sweaty, time.
