House Guests

The Dudes have had a busy couple of weekends. Last weekend we went home to Michigan and they visited with Aunt Kelly, Chuck and Uncle Sammy. And they also attended their cousin Ashley's first birthday party. This weekend we stayed home in Ohio, but a house full of visitors. Aunt Maureen drove down on Thursday from Canton and then Grandma G, Uncle David and Aunt Tracy drove down from Jackson on Friday. The Dudes had so much attention they didn't know what to do with themselves.


The Dudes also received their first haircuts. Aunt Tray cut Nico's hair and Aunt Maureen cut Aidan's hair. They just trimmed a little around the ears of course and we kept some of it for their baby books. And contrary to what uncle Sammy thinks the dudes do not want a mohawk like Uncle David.

New foods

It was a big week for the Dudes. They tried all kinds of new foods. They tried some pear juice, which they enjoyed very much, but still not enough to hold their own cups. They tried some snacks which included Cheerios and teething cookies. As you can see, Nico enjoyed the Cheerios. So much so, he thought he would save one for later. He did not really care for the teething cookies though, because once again that would mean he would have to hold it himself. The Dudes are pretty lazy eaters.

Aidan on the other hand decided that he preferred the teething cookie to the Cheerios, as you can see from the mess all over the front of his shirt. He gets that trait from his dad. They also got their first taste of peas this week and unlike their dad they seem to like their veggies.

This weekend we are traveling home to Michigan again for a wedding. We will be getting some much needed grown up time and the Dudes will be spending their time getting spoiled by Aunt Kelly and Uncle Sammy.

The Dudes have all the gear to attend their first Tiger game, but we have not made it there yet. This past weekend we went home to Michigan to visit with the Kelly's. On Saturday, we attended the memorial lunch for Uncle Bud and the met quite a few new people. However, they were not very well behaved. On Sunday, we walked to downtown Plymouth for lunch. The dudes liked the fountain in the square. Then we visited over at Uncle Joe's for a little while in the afternoon. They had a very busy weekend and slept most of the way back to Ohio.
