Five Years Ago Today....

Today is our fifth anniversary, June 26. Time sure flies. *Engagement Photo*

This is at home. We had gone to Frankenmuth, MI back in May.

*Fifth Anniversary*

At Home

We had thought about doing a short cruise for our fifth, but decided to wait a little longer. So...Zane is wearing a Tiki Paradise shirt in honor of our almost cruise. :)

Mama, May I......Eat This??

While Joe and I sat on the swing, Zane had fun crawling around the front yard today and trying to eat things. We would tell him no, and he would hold it up to show us as if to say, "But it's just a....." These are a few of the moments I was able to catch on camera.

"No, Zane. Don't eat that."
"But Mama, see, it's just a stick."

"No, Zane. Don't eat that."

"But Mama, see, it's just the leaf of a weed I picked."

"No, Zane. Don't eat that."

"But Mama, see, it's just a dead leaf."

"No Zane, Don't eat that."

"But Mama, see, it's just a whole bunch of dead leaves."

How can we say no to this sweet face???

Peas, Please!

Zane has really been interested in feeding himself lately, so today I let him have at it with the peas. I should have given him a spoon, but we had the fork out for his fruit. (He won't pick up slimey fruit.) He had fun trying both ends of the fork and actually achieved getting some in his mouth! :)

Fun with Friends!

After having Zane, I started to attend a group at Dupont Hospital. Through this group, I met some wonderful mommies who have wonderful babies. I was so thankful that Zane and I were included in the group as we started having playdates. It is so rewarding to see our children grow, and I am so appreciative of the other women I can talk to about being a first time mom. We had a good time at a Fort Wayne Park last week.

It was so fun to see all the baby swings full and in motion!

Zane LOVES to swing! It is so cute how his hair flies up now.



Yes, my child is playing with icky gum!



Aren't the gentlemen so cute?

Sometimes we have playdates at a Mommy's house. Today we had a pool party. This is my favorite pic of Zane from today. He is growing to be more and more of a toddler and less of a baby every day!

Fun "Toys"

Zane is officially at the stage where the fun toys are the toys that aren't really toys at all! :) So here he is playing with the roll of wrapping paper I bought to be used as a possible table cover for his birthday. It apparently is fun to slide back and forth across the floor.

And.....Here is he playing with tubs I bought to use at his birthday party for candy and such. Since they are metal, they are apparently great to bang against a tile floor. It's just another typical day of fun at the "T" house. :)

I'm Here!

Well, I finally have this page set up enough to post. I started this so long ago that I have had to restart it two or three times which included changing the password that I clearly forgot! It isn't letting me add an image at this time, but I am counting this as my first official post. Hopefully there are more to come! :)
