Sky King

Grandpa Don bought a new plane not too long ago and he was kind enough to take me and Gina for a ride in the sky. It was a windy day but beautiful as we were flying right next to the eagles...literally. It is a two-seater but there was plenty of room as we flew over Lake Vermilion about 600 feet in the air. It was a lot of fun and I am hoping to go up with him again this fall to see the changing leaves.

Swimming in Lake Vermilion

Isabel got more than her feet wet in the lake over Labor Day; Tony took her for first swim. There was only one problem...she outgrew her swimsuit... but it was okay because fortunately she had her birthday suit with her, being 1/2 year old and all... her first skinny dip! She loved the water and didn't cry at all even though it was a little chilly.

Grandma Marcia made Isabel a hat for her birthday and Grandpa Don picked out a gift especially for her; a glow worm. She has it in her crib and when I am trying to get her to nap she is memorized by it. Izzy also had her first cracker on her 1/2 birthday and she loved it. She got really mad when she dropped it.

Louis and Ollie had a wonderful time at the lake swimming and running around free for the entire weekend. Louis loves to jump off the dock and Oliver is the offical bird watcher. They both had sore tails and slept for 2 days when we got home!

Labor Day Weekend

We had a busy fun-filled weekend up in Cook over Labor Day. It also happened to be Isabel's 1/2 birthday on August 29th and since she was born on leap day, grandma and grandpa Pascuzzi decided to have a birthday party for her. There was balloons, cake, presents, and food; everything a party should have!

Peas

Isabel had peas for the first time and she loved them. It is kind of funny because I hate peas and I used to tell the lunch ladies at school that I was allergic to them. Tony eats pretty much anything; however, the only thing I know he isn't crazy about is peas! We are glad she likes them. I started work this week and it has been rough on all of us. Izzy is doing great at day care; Barb can't believe what a happy baby she is. Next week when school starts I will be part time so I am excited to have my afternoons with Isabel and the boys.

This is what happens when you eat too much fair food...
