Corina

Today she had her first taste of Great Great Grandma Sherman's spaghetti sauce recipe...and she loved it! I think it's safe to say that the Italian blood is running strong in this little one.

The Apple House

Grandpa & Grandma Belding came to visit today and we ate at the Apple House for dinner. As we expected, there was quite a mess to clean up, but we had a lot of fun (minus Mac's tantrum at the end).

We gave Corrie a pickle to taste, and after sizing it up, she gave it a little lick. We thought from her expression that she wouldn't be eating anymore, but it turned out that she loved it!

Mac got a cool train set that he loved and played with the whole time. I am sure he will be sleeping with those little trains in his crib tonight. No doubt I will be hearing "toot toot" from his room after I put him to bed!

Two in the cart

First time "sharing" the driver's seat! (I use the term "sharing" loosely as far as Mac is concerned).

Something I actually heard myself say yesterday: "Mac, I love you very much, but you may not push the piano on the baby's head!"

Aunt Joyce's Pool Party

We had a lot of fun at Aunt Joyce & Uncle Scott's pool party last weekend. Mac had a blast with me in the pool, and he loved being with his Grandpa & Gramma Johns.

Mac's Gator

Before Corrie was born, one of my teaching colleagues, Aunt Rita, gave Mac a wooden alligator on a string. Lately, he has been pulling the little gator everywhere (including several trips around the block over concrete, grass, mud and big puddles!) The poor thing is missing several big chunks of wood now.

Meanwhile, Corrie just tags along in her little stroller.

Favorite Toy

The vent in the kitchen. Why is this so attractive? We may never know. Corrie & Mac sit in front of it, hit it, scream at it, laugh at it...
