Lake Michigan Vacation 2009

Well it was that time of year again. My family spent a week at a cottage on Lake Michigan. The weather wasn't as nice as last year but there was no rain so we can't complain that much seeing how rainy this summer has been. We did our usual laying on the beach, blueberry picking and swimming in the waves. The kids loved the beach and Luca become obsessive over playing stick in the sand. She is a trip. This year we also had a professional photographer come and take some pictures. I have put them in a slideshow at the bottom of the page. Lake Michigan sure is beautiful. Better than the ocean if you ask me!

Kennywood Park!

Well it's been quite some time since i've updated my blog - again. Seems I have trouble keeping up with an almost 4 year old, a full time job, Facebook AND blogs! :-) After some grief from my big sister though, I'm updating my blog.

Gavin and I had a great past weekend. We headed home to Pittsburgh and did some fun things. Thursday we went to Kennywood Amusement Park. Saturday we went to a Pittsburgh Pirates game. Unfortunately, I forgot to charge the battery in my camera and didn't get enough pictures from Kennywood and none from the baseball game. But we had a blast!

A small slideshow is posted below!

Gavin's Craft Pillow

Well... i'm always looking for a fun craft for Gavin and I to do and so we attempted to make a pillow. Why I let him talk me into using glitter is beyond me. Maybe it was those big huge brown eyes and long lashes and I temporarily went insane. :-) Here is Gavin's very own pillow made completely by him, stuffed by him and decorated by him. I helped with the glue on his name although, proudly I can say, my son knows how to spell his own name! It would be a really great pillow to use if it weren't covered in glitter! haha. Oh well, he loved making it.
