SPAIN OR BUST!

We're off to Spain this afternoon for Peter & Esther's wedding! If we have computer access, we hope to post photos while we're there, so check back! Otherwise, we'll have some significant posts when we return after the July 4 holiday. See you then!

Little Finn, Lotsa Sisu!

Andy in his new sweatshirt: "little finn, lotsa sisu" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu )


He discovered that putting a bowl on your head is a quick way of playing peek-a-boo with whoever is near by, but you have to be careful where you walk!

The ultimate car phone

"Hola!"

First weeks of June

Even though Andy has his own, appropriately-sized guitar, he loves playing on his dad's. I noticed the other day that he's started reaching up periodically to "tune" the guitar -- something he must have picked up by watching Shawn. What a little mimic. It's moments like that when I feel very motivated to watch my language!


I was working at the dining table when I heard a shuffle sound and looked up to see Andy in Shawn's slippers. His shirt, which is hard to see in this photo, says "I think my name is 'no no' but nana calls me 'sweetie'. A gift from nonna, of course!



Risa and Drew came in from Detroit and continued their travels to Hawaii and then home to American Samoa. Andy got pretty attached to his Auntie Risa during her visit to the mainland.

Sometimes it's so much easier to just sit Andy at the table for a meal (yes, we need a booster seat!). He doesn't like sitting in the high chair these days -- he'll take a few bites and then wiggle out of the straps and stand up .

The Bumble Bee!!!

Andy's Tita Esther and Uncle Peter got him this special bumble bee slicker and backpack -- he's ready for the fall rain! Thank you Esther and Peter!
