Memorial Day Weekend

Michael, Weston, and I had a nice, relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. We went to Chippewa Falls to house sit for Andy and Andrea while they were up in Duluth for Andy's bike race, so we got to have some quality family time with just the three of us before Michael starts his new job next week. That's right- I said Michael starts his new job!!! He passed his final test last Thursday and will start with Catholic Knights as a financial services representative on June 1st. This also means that we have begun our official house hunting:) We got a realtor and will start looking at the insides of houses tomorrow (we have looked an many neighborhoods and outsides already). Hopefully, we will have more house news soon! Here are some pictures and videos from the weekend.


Saturday we went to the local park and zoo.



Weston hamming it up while eating- "Oh, you got me in the heart."


Weston is sooo big!

Yes, that is his finger up his nose and food in his hair. (Michael gets lots of anxiety when Weston eats because he gets so messy.)

Weston is getting better at "cruising" furniture.

This weekend it became obvious that Weston is picking up more and more on what we do and repeating what we do. At this moment we happened to be taping Weston playing when we discovered he knew how to get his toys from under the couch! We never showed him this, he just must have watched us do it at one point:)

Andy, Andrea, and Gianna came home Monday evening and we ended our Memorial Day with a picnic and a small walk around the park. *Note: Picnics can be challenging with two babies who would rather eat the grass than stay on the blanket and eat their food:)

  1. Glad you enjoyed your "exotic" get away to Chippewa Falls;) Thanks again for house sitting:) I am VERY impressed with Weston's skills at getting a toy under the couch-- he has to teach Gianna that the next time he's up here!

  2. Those videos are amazing! He will be walking in no time! And I can't believe how big he seems in the second one as he places his toys in the bucket and then so gracefully gets the one under the couch!--Glad you were filming!

  4. Thanks so much for keeping us uptodate on your family. Weston is growing up fast and it will be fun to see these pictures when he is older. Congratulations Michael, for the job. You will do well. Looking forward to more blogs soon. Love, Aunt Teri
