happy birthdays and hats

Happy 2nd birthday to our friend Timmy, and also to miss Sara (whose was a week ago)!
Kristin is here visiting this weekend (yay!), and came bearing cute baby items. So this post's pix are all of our collected baby hats. Also, we're leaving for our London/Ireland vacation on Tuesday, so we're doing last minute prep work. Probably won't have another post until after we get back...

My Mum made this very cute little hat. She's convinced that baby will need many hats for the Chicago winter. This is her first creation.

Kristin brought this cute little hat (which is reversible and has cute stripes underneath). I like the froggy tag on the side.

Go Cards! This was my pre-Mother's Day gift from my parents. They thought it was good to start early with the training.

Snow in June...

Ok, so not really. It was a gorgeous weekend here, and we spent a lot of it outside. We went to a BBQ on Saturday. Sunday we did a lot of yardwork and Andrew put together our new grill! It's very exciting. It's name is the "Bonza Deluxe", which I just found amusing. But, back to the "snow", there were big clouds of fluff that were floating all over town this weekend. I first assumed that they came from Cottonwood trees, but inspection of the fluff seems to indicate otherwise. There are areas of town that this stuff was actually drifting in people yards! Seems to be a very good dispersion method for whatever plant that released them!


Here's Andrew with our inaugural grill. He's cooking up some tasty Bison steaks and corn. Yum!

Here's a silly video that tried to capture the fluff snowing all over us. It's hard to see.
