Hot Summer Days!


It has been about a month since my last posting. I will make no excuses except to say that it is so hot here I feel like I am melting (hence our naked kid above!! ) and our computer room seems to be 10 degrees hotter than any other room in the house! Anyway, things around here have been good. Marek will be six months old on Thursday! It is so hard to believe how quickly time has passed. He is a great little kid. He is rolling over (better from back to tummy than tummy to back). He spent about two weeks where he would roll over in his sleep and then cry because he was on his stomach and couldn't get back. Now he seems to like sleeping on his side or stomach and we like not waking up every hour to roll him over! Its working well for everyone! :) He is almost sitting up by himself and is eating oatmeal two times a day. He loves it. He seems to be much more inquisitive and loves to be outside. He is 26 3/4 inches long and 17lbs.


In my last posting I mentioned Father's Day but forgot to say anything about Mike's birthday. Mike's mom and dad got us a gondola ride on the St. Croix River in Stillwater, MN for Mike's birthday. The whole day was so much fun. Stillwater is a great little town and we had a blast! We started at this great little wine bar and had a bottle of wine and some unbelievable tapas. We went from there to a couple other bars in town and finished the night with our gondola ride on the river. It was great. It felt wonderful to get to celebrate Mike - he is such a wonderful husband, father and friend. I love him so much!!


Marek loves his new highchair!

Father's Day and Much, Much More!!



The month of June has been very eventful around our house. We got to celebrate Mike and Marek's first father's day as well as see Kristin and Steve tie the knot!! Father's day was a nice day for us all. We went to look for a high chair for Marek and bought daddy a new suit for work. We kept it pretty low key because of our Minnesota trip at the end of the week.
Kristin and Steve's wedding was beautiful. Their ceremony was so touching and Alix did a great job!! Aunt Amy looked pretty good too and gave the most beautifully heartfelt speech!! The Bellus' did it up right!! :) Good job Gammy and Kris!

Cousin Alix was such a big help. She even changed poopy diapers!!
Getting ready for the big event!

Marek's suit lasted only through the pictures. He looked great but was not very happy!

Kris on her wedding day!

Yeah Kristin and Steve!!

After the wedding was over we got to spend some time with friends and go to the lake. It was a very relaxing vacation and good to see that all our Minnesota friends are doing well!



This is how exciting we thought the museum was!
