Levi's first tooth is coming through today!  I was a little suspicious yesterday that it would be coming soon, and this morning I could see it and by this afternoon I could feel it just a little bit.  It's a bottom middle tooth, and the other one isn't far behind.  My baby is growing up!  :(

This past Saturday we spent the morning in South Haven and had alot of fun.  It's nice to go somewhere close to home and still feel like you're on vacation.  Walking around downtown we stopped at a bakery (Caleb and Logan each chose a donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles), looked in a fun toy store, and met several dogs (the boys want to pet EVERY dog they see - we got to meet one lady walking with her two dogs who moved up here from Louisiana after Katrina).  We ate lunch on a boat (Mike and I actually ate there when we were in South Haven for our first anniversary) and the boys had fun looking at the ducks in the water, one waitress even brought them crackers to feed to the ducks.

 Donuts.

Lunch.

Saturday night we made our annual visit to my brother's who were both camping with their families at Holland State Park.  The boys always have fun with their cousins, and were VERY upset when we had to leave.

Sunday morning we headed south again - to Benton Harbor for one of Mike's new niece's baptism.  We did actually get to see her baptized, but that was about it.  I had to feed Levi, and the other boys only made it through a few minutes of the service and there wasn't really an 'official' nursery, so Mike stayed out with them.  Good thing, too.  They were not on their best behavior.  Overtired, I suppose, plus being in a strange place.  They fought over a toy and Logan bit Caleb pretty bad, so Caleb was just kinda off after that.  Sunday night  there were baptisms at our church, too - pretty interesting for the boys.  

I've still been recovering from my cold this week and Mike's had longer days at work again, so we're just doing what we gotta do to get by.  Just now Mike took Caleb and Logan and Sadie to work for a few minutes before the rain comes to get a pallet moved inside that has cardboard on it.  I've got just a few minutes before Levi wakes up and wants to eat again...
