Fun at Gamma and Papa's

The Dudes love to go visit Gamma and Papa. Their new favorite thing to do at Papa's house is jump on the trampoline. We all stand guard while the dudes have the time of their lives.



Papa took the dudes on an outing to the park at Cascades. I think we have been to every park in Jackson by now. We like to try out a different one every time.

The dudes have a hard time deciding which toy is their favorite at the park. I think it is a toss up between the swings and the slide.

Riding the camel and watching the baby geese.

One of our other favorite past times at Gamma and Papa's is to beat up Uncle David. They like to jump on him like he is a trampoline, but he loves them anyway.

We had a good weekend, but now it is time to make the journey back to Ohio. This was our goodbye picture even though we make the trip to Michigan quite often.

Spring Time Fun

As I am so frequently reminded, I am way behind on updating the blog. Since the boys started preschool this week, I am hoping that I will now have more time to spend keeping everyone updated about the weekly goings on at the Sicilia house. I laughed out loud the other day when it occurred to me that we started the blog to keep everyone up to date about what the dudes were doing, yet the dudes are the reason that we don't have a lot of time to work on the blog. Anyways, here is an update on some of the fun we've had the last few months.

We enrolled the boys in soccer this past spring. It was at an indoor facility where they could run around and reek havoc with the soccer balls.

The instructors tried their best to provide the kids with a beginning look at the game of soccer, which of course Louie loves. The dudes learned about stretching before you play, dribbling the ball and even how to do a header. They practiced that skill with a balloon.

Memorial weekend we headed to Michigan and made a stop to visit Uncle Sammy boomball at Emily's house. We had lunch there and played some soccer in the yard.

We were also lucky enough to meet up with Aunt Sue and Uncle Dick at the park for some fun in the sun. We had big fun that day at the splash pad at Hawk Island Park. We can't wait to see them again and officially meet Eli.
