Mathias n'aime pas la pomme

Un long weekend a Saugatuck

We went to Saugatuck a couple weekends ago with our friends Meg and Andy -- and their little Miles -- and Karen and Sebastian. We all rented a house and it was nice being able to spend time all together. After putting the babies to sleep at night, we prepared dinners, indulged in good wines, and relaxed in big comfy chairs on the patio...nice to share evenings with friends again as when we're home, we are (most of the time) stuck at home with baby! We're already talking about going again in the fall or winter...

At Oval beach, ranked one of the top beaches in the world by a famous publication (can't remember which one though!)

Our little sailor

Andy and Miles, Mathias' best friend...although they have not interacted much yet!

Black Star Farm

Black Star is a wonderful place near Suttons Bay - winery, farm, a small market and cafe, and also where Leelanau Cheese is located. We went last month and Mathias got to see a few animals with his Nana.

He was especially fascinated by the pigs and all their loud noises.

A la playa! (a Leland, MI)

First time at the beach - great spot to practice crawling!

Jumperoo!

Mathias loves his jumperoo - it plays music, has flashing lights and fun toys, the chair swivels, and of course the best part...Mathias can jump! It also allows me to have a few minutes to myself, which is nice as Mathias is very active these days and needs constant attention, especially since he is almost crawling (only backwards for now). Vive le jumperoo!
