Lucia Waving

Doing a little catching up this morning as Raymond is sleeping.  Here is a video from when Lucia was 7 months showing off her wave.

Blueberry Picking

We had a great morning today picking blueberries!  The land was beautiful and the blueberries delicious!  The kids had lots of fun playing outdoors and we had a nice picnic lunch to finish.  Kenny and I wanted to make an offer on the place right then and there and move in permanently.  But I doubt they would have accepted! :P

               Raymond did LOTS of sampling.  I don't think it qualifies as a sample after the third handful.

                                                                 Just getting started.

                                                                    And the loot!!!!

Birthday Boys

May is birthday month in the Buyle house.  First, we celebrated Kenny's birthday on the 9th with friends and cheesecake.  Next time I plan a surprise party, I will make sure Kenny will actually be home, though.  Oops.  I had to spoil the surprise so he would come home.    

 And then, Raymond's birthday is the very next day.  Unfortunately, both birthday boys came down with the sickies on this day.  Luckily, I had purchased Raymond two Thomas videos for a gift.  I have been "trying" to put off video watching until he was three, so he has been saying for months that he could watch Thomas videos for his third birthday.  :P  Perfect gift for a feverish, vomiting birthday boy.  Poor guy.

 And then, two days later, as my family was here to celebrate his birthday at the City Museum, he came down with this rash... Hand, foot and mouth.  We didn't realize it until after we exposed the entire crowd.  Oops!  Sorry!  But it wasn't too bad.  In fact, he seemed less whiny than when he has a cold.

 Hanging out in our pjs as we tried to stay quarantined...  I guess of all times to get sick, it was nice that it was during Kenny's time off!  I don't think I could have handled pukey boy and Lucia at the same time.  Although, Daddy being pukey was hard work, too.

 Here is a shot of Raymond's breakfast train cake.  Good thing I thought of that, since he was too sick for a real cake later.  He loved it, as you can see....

And that's all.  A wave from the City Museum.  We had a great time there.  I even think my picky brother had fun!

Swinging

Just a cute picture of my happy girl in her swing.  She loves swings.  And just life in general.  She is such a fun baby.  I love her.
