Day with GG

The day after the wedding we spent the afternoon with GG. We traveled around the area and visited a goat farm, a fruit stand, a Brazilian jewelry shop, had lunch in Saugatuck (a pretty artsy town), and finally ended the day with ice cream at GG’s.

Michigan Wedding

At the end of September we spent a week in Michigan with Todd’s family for a wedding event. Todd’s cousin, Brittany & her new hubby Wesley, tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. We spent the other days thrift store shopping (just the ladies :)), visiting a goat farm, catching up with old friends, walking around quaint towns, and eating ice cream with GG. Thanks to Aunt Linda, our wonderful host for the 6 days we were there.

It was a late night for Ada, but she had lots of fun at the wedding. We could not keep her off the dance floor once the music started :)

31 Months

Ada loves to make up songs about what she is doing. She sings about meal time, going shopping, or relaying events from the day all to her own tune. She is very creative. She also loves to interact with her food; grapes become wheels, chicken nuggets become vehicles or animals, and her water cup is their pool. She has quite the imagination although we do have to limit her food play at meal time :)

One of her current expressions (that makes us giggle) is her “no waay.” When we say something sarcastic, she picks up on it and responds appropriately. She has been asking her whos, whats, wheres and whys lately too.

Oh, and these are the last pictures from my Rebel Xsi taken down by the river. The shutter died on me so instead of fixing it, we put that cost towards a new one. Enjoying figuring out my new Canon 70D
