Wyatt's Fifth Birthday

Here are some pictures from Wyatt's birthday weekend, as well as some other fun things that we have done recently (like going out for Mexican food--see Wyatt and Heidi in front of the empty Margarita glass:)) We also went to Fall Festival recently, where Wyatt got his face painted like a ferocious tiger. Genevieve also enjoyed the birthday celebrations and fell asleep in Heidi's arms holding the cake server (although this does look like a breastfeeding picture!). One of Wyatt's Halloween costumes is a fireman one, which he is modeling here. October is a fun month for us, with Wyatt and Paul's birthdays in it.

In the past week...

On Tuesday, Wyatt and his Montessori friends participated in World Peace Day, where they sang "Light a Candle for Peace," along with many other Montessori students around the world. Last Saturday, we went to Kids Fest in downtown Evansville, where Wyatt got to inspect a fire truck. On Sunday, we went to the marvelous German American Kunst Fest in nearby New Harmony. We ate lots of good food, including bratwurst and dumplings. There were several fire engine for Wyatt to inspect there. The flag below was hanging off one of engine's ladder. We also visited the sites of our wedding (the Roofless Church) and our reception (the Granary). Wyatt reminded us that this was where we got married. Lastly, Wyatt spotted a gently used fire boat that he had to have. Are you spotting a trend here? Guess what he wants to be for Halloween?

Florida 2010

In late July, we drove to Florida to visit Heidi's dad and stepmom. Here is Wyatt in the backseat w/Genevieve. He is wearing noise reducer headphones, which were needed during the trip. I need to emphasize that our 2 day trip was in a COROLLA and that we came back still talking to one another. Here are a few pictures from the beach, which we all loved. While there, we went with Dad to the Mote Aquarium, where we saw a dolphin, manatee (eating Romaine lettuce), sea turtle and hammer head shark. There is a picture of Wyatt by his name in the sand as well as one of the three of us. While in the Sunshine State, we visited Heidi's high school friend, Dawn Goldsmith, and hung out with her and her daughter, Elena. We went with them to the Children's Museum in St. Petersburg and had yummy burgers at Five Guys Burgers. It was great to see them and fantastic to spend time with Dad and Kathy.

Michigan Part Trois

Because I am behind in my blogging, here are some pictures from our midJuly trip to Michigan. Wyatt is pictured here next to his tree in Nana & Papa Don's yard and in his swimming pool. Baby G. is pictured just being cute. She has a new tooth!
