Ohio

Random pics from our few days in Ohio. The 3 musketeers all together. Free kids cones from McDonalds after Ian's baseball game. Tyler had his first taste of chocolate cake at Ian's birthday celebration at Grandma and Grandpa Chase's house. It was a great preview for his birthday. It is going to be so much fun!!!

Ohio- Boonshoft

We took the kids to Boonshoft while we were in Ohio. The kids played their hearts out! It was Abby's first time there so her cousins Owen and Noah had to show her the ropes. All of the hands on is wonderful. Abby is already asking when we can go back!

Ohio - Outside/Smores

The kids had a great time hanging out in "Toddlerville" at Grandma's house. Uncle Lance build a fire in his new fire pit and we roasted marshmallows and ate smores. Tyler even joined in the fun - although all he really got was graham crackers :)

Grandparents

I finally got some great pics of Tyler with his wonderful grandparents! He fell asleep on Grandma Owens at Boonshoft museum while the older kids played their hearts out.

Boston

Paul and I headed to Boston for an anesthesia conference for me. The kids stayed in OH with grandparents and cousins. We had a great time! We walked, and walked, and walked! :) We went out to dinner in the North End for wonderful Italian food. Found a great pastry shop there! It was nice to have some quiet dinners and not have to worry about if it was a "kid friendly" restaurant.
The conference was great too!

Tyler 9 1/2 months

Just some pics of Tyler around the house over the last few days. The kid is into everything!! He is the complete opposite of Abby. She was much more cautious at this age than he is. He just jumps right in to everything. He loves the dog water bowl!! No many how times we tell him no.
He loves to laugh and he absolutely loves to eat. He eats anything we do these days.
Paul is very excited about Tyler's first Shark Week on Discovery Channel! He even bought him an official t-shirt for the occasion. He has ocean themed outfits for the whole week!

Random

After Tyler went to bed, the rest of us hung out on the deck for a bit this evening. Abby got to watch a spider (a rather large one I might add) make a web. She got to see several bats fly overhead, and she made friends with a tree frog. She is getting so brave - she even touched the frog. I had to take a pick of Molly so everyone could see her crooked right ear that makes us all laugh.
Poor sleeping baby, missed out on all the fun. I don't think he minded :)
