The Dog Days... of Summer

It would seem that summer is past us now, or at least it will be soon. Per my usual intro, apologies for the inconsistent frequency with which I post photos. Perhaps now that we're into Fall, our schedule will allow for more regularity.

Anyway, it was a great summer indeed. Sonny made several trips to the Jersey Shore, swam in the pool, swam in the lake, and got to visit with his grandparents on many occasions. A good time was had by all.

"I want to go outside and play!"

Well, his vocabulary is not quite there yet, but it grows each day... it's the repeating that will get you. Hmm, swear jar? $5 / incident? Hellooooo college education!

Poolside hugs.

Island Beach State Park with Grandmom Barb & Mom.

Mom goes bowling at a Rock-N-Bowl wedding in Asbury Park, NJ - so cool, so pretty.

Sonny learns to run, spot his reflection in the fireplace, and say 'cheese' at nearly the same time.

The insanity hits a new level of complexity.

Helmet, bike, Dad, fun.

Grampa Bill, Grandma Joni, & Sonny at the lake. We love visitors from Michigan.

Mom and Sonny listening to the band warm up.

In the tent, there was rock-n-roll... Sonny's first live rock-n-roll.

Who's got a wet diaper?

Grandmom Barb spoils the boy... this time with a root beer float.

Sonny makes a sock-monkey grab. Cousin Jacob grabs back...

... and then grabs hair.

Thanks for coming Grampa Bill & Grandma Joni - we miss you!
