Pure Michigan

We took a little break from our normal routine and went up to my Mom's house for the weekend.  One of the things on our to-do list was to get some family pictures taken for our post-placement update to China.  It was a little bit of a challenge.  It's hard to get a picture with everyone looking good. At least our outfits coordinated!

The kids also got to see fireworks with Grandma & Grandpa while Dave and I had a date.  Liam, of course, loved them, and Lilly didn't seem bothered by them.  My mom bought matching, patriotic outfits for all three grandkids.  They tried to get a picture of the three of them, but I'm not sure there was one with all three kids looking at the camera.  All of them want to move!

We also introduced Lilly to the pool.  She loved it!  Liam is our little fish.  He has become such a strong swimmer.  He will go down the slide by himself, go under water, jump off the side and yell 'canon ball', and swim the length of the pool over and over again.
