Missing: Camera!

We very much apologize for the lack of posts lately. Sadly, when we went to Michigan last week, we misplaced or camera - or, possibly, someone so kindly "misplaced it for us", if you know what I mean. I just hope whoever has the camera will put it to good use and will enjoy the glorious pictures on there. It's probably on ebay though (sigh).

Here's the rundown:

• Saturday May 31st: Natalie takes her fifth flight and is an angel. We get to see the Carroll grandparents, as well as Aunt Amy and Matthew, in Michigan.
• Sunday June 1st: We see Aunt Pam, Uncle Bill, and the cousins! Aunt Pam does very well.
• Monday June 2nd: Natalie's first time in the swimming pool with Daddy and cousin Nathan, while cousins Emma and Katie have swim practice. Tears ensue. It was not a hit. But, we got some cute pictures of her in her swimsuit! Sadly, then the camera disappeared. Oh well. Red Wings lose.
• Tuesday June 3rd: Aunt Pam continues to do well. We pack up a huge box of clothes and toys for which Emma, Katie, and Nathan are too old to ship to California. There are tons of benefits to having older cousins! One key benefit is that I get to reap the benefits of all the cute Baby Gap clothes I bought for Emma and Katie over the years - now Natalie gets to wear them.
• Wednesday June 4th: We fly home to California. Natalie is not pleased. Reese the cat is super-happy to see us. Red Wings Win!

And that was our trip to Michigan!

This weekend we went to Olen's first birthday party. I simply can't believe that the babies from my mom's group are now turning one. We still have two and a half more months to go (Natalie is by far the youngest), but believe me, I am already storing up good ideas for Natalie's 1st.
