Father's Day With Papa

Cassandra is always trying to be a big helper.  Here Cassandra is helping Papa with the father's day card because given that he has never seen the card before, he clearly needs the assistance of a two year old to get it to open right.

Aunt Cheryl's Birthday

Cassandra is relaxing with Aunt Cheryl on her birthday.

Aunt Cheryl is trying her gift out on Cousin Samantha.

Stolen Hat

The junior hat thief strikes again.  For some reason, this is one of the greatest games ever played.  It is rather funny when you ask her if she stole Mommy's hat and she says no despite the evidence sitting on her head.

Bubble Time

We visited Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Steve's new home today and Cassandra got to play with bubbles.  I think the smile on her face says it all.  She likes their daughter (Samantha) and their dog their yard and their house.

Being A Big Sister

Cassandra has gotten more comfortable holding Michael.  She still asks permission which is good given she really doesn't understand how tough and fragile Michael is but he is not sure about the whole thing.  For the most part, he does tolerate her.

Sometimes though he is not too sure...like when he is in a milk coma.  Frankly, this looks more like a blackmail photo than anything else.

One Month Old

Michael turns one month old today.  We were trying to get pictures for this and Cassandra thought she should be in the pictures.  In the first shot, the flash caught Michael off guard.  By the second shot, Michael has decided that he is not having fun which is funny because Cassandra seems realty proud that Michael is going off.

Michael did do much better a few hours later after big sister had gone to bed.

Doug & Holly's Wedding Shower

Uncle Doug and Aunt Holly are in town for their wedding shower.  While they will be getting married in Florida, most of their families are here so they are coming to us.  Michael is just shy of a month old and in a few weeks, he will be the ring bearer at their wedding.  Of course, he will need Mommy to escort him down the aisle since he won't be walking for months.  They also brought a present for Cassandra to help keep her entertained.

Michael is getting the chance to meet some of Aunt Holly's family.  Here we see Michael being passed around and held by Holly's sisters Amber and Ricki and Holly's mom.

Another Michael.  Boy, they are everywhere.  Last we have Mrs. Sandy Poole.  She has known Grandma Wendel since before Daddy was born which for Michael was forever ago.

We all have the same look on our faces, don't we?
