Meeting up with Nana and Papa

While we were on our way down to Jeffersonville, Indiana, we were able to stop in Gas City, Indiana and meet Nana and Papa for lunch because they were on their way up from Tennessee.

Michael got to run around, climb and slide after being in the car for 3 hours.

He had fun!

Fun in the Slide!

Finally, a shot of the three of them:)

Michael loves them both so much!

Mr. Potato Head

He either has a fat lip or the nose is in the wrong spot:)

Either way, this is the most accurate job he's done so far:)

See my eggs!

Michael made this Easter Egg Wreath at daycare this week.

Jungle Java!

This place is an indoor jungle gym recommended by my friend Caroline. Morris had been gone the two previous weeks so he took Michael here to have some fun. Of course he was skeptical at first. So, I played with him for a little bit and then he was off on his own:) Michael had a ball.

Michael in his new lion mask.

Happily drinking his juice from the new cup his dad bought him.
Everytime Michael takes his cup back to Jungle Java, he will get unlimited drinks.
That must mean daddy plans to take him again:)
Yeah!!

Quite the Poser!

Out with Friends

We went out to dinner, to Morris's favorite Indian restaurant, with Mohan & Phani a few days before Morris left for training. Michael had a lot of fun with his friend, Pranay.

Pure Cuteness!

Asleep in Nana's Arms

The Loves of My Life

Michael tries to climb onto daddy's back so he'll get a horsie ride.

As Michael would say, "I made it."

Kiss Attempt! Awwww.
He loves his daddy so much.

Family Time with The Bean's

Michael & Cousin Addy

I'd be scared too, Addy!

Addy, Michael and the kid who wanted to be in all our pictures

Michael & Addy could have chased, run over, and bumped
into each other all day with these four wheeled toys.
They had so much fun together and we had so much
fun spending quality time with them.
Thank you!

Forte Family Shots

Michael & Great Grandpa Forte

Michael was so happy to be taking pictures with his grandparents.
He had so much fun just spending time with family. And so did I!

Michael and his Grandpa Forte

My Grandpa Forte and Me!
I love you so!

My Grandma and Me

Ghosts?! :)
Nope. Just my Gobic and me.

Love you Gobic!

Passed Out

After battling the flu this week, it was good to see him fall asleep on his own Friday night.
How do kids sleep in such funny positions?

Having a Ball at the Mall

Morris asked me today where Michael gets the "tongue out of the mouth" from.

I told him, "His Grandpa Forte."

Stopping to pose for the camera!

That roar might scare the bears away!
It sure did scare the other kids.

Michael isn't happy about something this little girl is saying to him.

Running from the girls!
Michael, all upset, proceeds to tell me that the kids are calling him a "boy."
So, I have to explain to him that he is a boy, like daddy, and I am a girl.

Back to playing,

but still peaking around the corner for those "boy" name calling girls!

Laughing now at being called a "boy."

Back to the boat, his favorite place at the mall.
Daddy hopes he'll enjoy a real boat when he is old enough to go fishing.

Too cute!

I just thought this was cute!
He likes to line everything up these days!
