Summer Recap - Part 4 - Door County - July 2013

Door County - July 21-28th, 2013

The last week in July we went to Egg Harbor in Door County, WI for a week of fun, adventure, and family vacation. My parents rented a great house right on the water and we stayed there with them and my brother Pete, and his girlfriend, Molly. We had a great trip, and I was amazed at how much easier this year's trip was then when we went to Door County last year, when Henry was only 4 months old! This year we had some beautiful days, but also some chilly days - especially for July! It was beautiful though, and the best sunsets are always in Door County! I hope we can go back next year!

Henry at (almost) 16 months - July 2013

Here is a collection of some sweet photos taken of my favorite little guy. I was playing around with our camera, (trying to get it to work... it's been broken for the past few months) and captured some sweet moments with Henry. Even though this was almost four months ago I want remember the fun Henry I had this summer, and what a sweet stage 15 -16 months was. At 15-16 months Henry was really walking (he first started walking at 14 months) and starting to get more curious and brave, but he wasn't totally all over the place (like he is now!). He was also just starting to say a few words and communicate more using baby signs or hand gestures.

I find it funny that even though these pictures were taken July 3rd, he looks so much more like a "baby" in these pictures and more "grown up" today! What a difference a few months makes!

Summer Recap- Part 3

4th of July and July Fun!

The week after we got back from Colorado we had the joy of hosting Joe, Megan, and Henry's cousins at our house! We had a great time with them while they were visiting Wisconsin. For fourth of July we went down to Riverfest, went swimming in the baby pool, and enjoyed ice cream from Ranison's. It was a classic summer day. =)

Happy 4th of July! Love, Libby, Margaret, Siena, and Henry

The weekend after 4th of July we went to the Wisconsin Dells with Joe, Megan and the girls, and LJ's sister Lizzy and her boyfriend met us from Chicago. We went to Noah's Ark water-park, which is supposedly "America's largest water-park". It was a blast, and I was surprised how well Henry did after only a short nap in the car on the way there and no nap that afternoon. That night we had a sleep over with the "Belleville 5" at the Domes and got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Yak.
