On Wisconsin!

Last week, we went to visit my family. It is the first time Max has been back to Wisconsin since he was only 2 1/2 months old. He had a blast! This time, he was actually big enough to play with his cousins. Luckily, we got to spend lots of time with them. Max, Abby and Jack at Grandma's

Max was in heaven with all of the new toys at Grandma's house. His favorites, other than the horse, were the old toys from when I was a kid - especially the Fisher Price tool bench with the wind up drill (that was the best!).

Max loved seeing Auntie Kristin, and she spent lots of time with us, so we were very lucky!

Uncle Eric was gone for most of the trip, but we still got to see him twice - yay!

And we got to see Grandpa twice too...

But, I think the best part of all for Max was meeting his new best friend, Rocky...

Max didn't leave Rocky alone the entire time we were there (much to Rocky's dismay).

Here is Max getting a little loving from Rocky :)



What a great trip! We can't wait to get back and see everyone again!!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful day today even though we missed being able to spend it with our families in Wisconsin and Australia. It was nice and warm, so after Max opened his presents from the Easter bunny (he's still too young for Easter eggs and candy) we headed to the zoo. It was Colin's first visit to the zoo, so Max was excited to show him all of his favorite animals.

And, even better than the animals at the zoo, is the carousel!!!

Although, as much as Max loves watching the carousel, he still cries every time we take him on it :( But, luckily we headed to the land of the primates next... that cheered Max right up!

Yay! We love the zoo!

After a nice long nap, Max decided it was time to head to the park to try out all of his new sand toys from the Easter bunny. He didn't want to do anything without them...

Daddy, I can't climb up by myself when I'm holding my trucks!

Ooh, but I can race my trucks down the slide!

I'm going so fast but the trucks still won

Once he got tired of the little trucks, he moved on to the big one...

Thanks for all of the new toys Easter Bunny! I hope everyone had as great of a day as we did :)
