Door County Video

Nolan, while he doesn't like crawling on grass
yet, sure had fun up in Door County. We had
a few perfect days while we were up there, and
we couldn't have asked for better - well,
if Laura and I didn't have colds, allergies, or a
combination of the two would have made it a
little more enjoyable.

"You want me to mow what?"



"Oh, I can get used to this!"



"Yeah, I like it up here."



"You put your right foot in..."



"I like this grandpa guy..."



"Can someone get me a lemonade?"



"Did you get my good side?"



"I can take this guy, he's not that tough."



"Walking isn't that hard, is it?"

Memorial Day 2008

We experienced our first full family vacation this Memorial Day weekend. The whole group, dog included, packed up and headed up to Door County, WI to visit grandpa. It was a perfect weekend, except that Laura and I both were sick and probably had allergies on top of our colds. While not perfect for health, the weather couldn't be better. We had a few days of beautiful sun, and only one night worth of rain - and there was a lot of rain.

Nolan had a great time exploring the house. He and grandpa sure had fun, and grandpa even crawled around the kitchen island with Nolan chasing him - his knees might never recover! Joey walked Nolan around the yard, and he even helped pulling the dead daffodils off the stems. He really likes walking around, and the house is perfect for him crawling - we just have to keep the dog's water bowl out of reach!

While the weekend was short, it was a perfect test for a longer vacation later this summer. Nolan isn't the best traveler, however, Door County is a perfect test ground to get him used to longer trips.

Nolan Loves Water

Attention: we have made sure that all his "bits
and pieces" are hidden, so it is okay to watch.
He will hate us years from now, but it is cute.



Well, it is amazing how much Nolan loves water,
and we are starting to think that we should
start him in swimming classes. Not that Laura
and I are avid swimmers, but if it is something
he really likes, even I might start swimming!!!

Time sure seems to fly by, as we just celebrated
his 9 month birthday. We have decided to list our
house, not expecting much, if we can sell, we will
but we have to consider all options. This summer
will be interesting...
