Mozart at the Meadows

Spent a terrific evening with our cousins Larry and Naomi...

Ann Arbor Street Art Fair

Yesterday we spent the day in Ann Arbor walking the University of Michigan campus streets, as part of the annual Street Art Fair. Vendors from all over the country lined up their booths, we walked around for hours browsing some beautiful and interesting art pieces. There were also entertainers of sorts (fraternity guys selling water, and this one great mime artist). Of course it rained most of the afternoon, but we still had a great time!

July 4th Weekend

We all had a great time celebrating Independence Day weekend (aside from being off from work on Friday). That evening we attended the Greenfield Village "Salute to America," which included live music by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and an amazing fireworks display. Got home pretty late, but had a relaxing time on the lawn in chairs and having our own little picnic. The next day we hopped in the pool, as little Sam went swimming for the first time. Mostly in the shallow end!! :-)

Samantha ... she's almost 7 months

Samantha loves discovering her environment and entertaining herself while we're trying to get some work done on the computer. I had to shoot this quick video of her usual activity.

NY Visit

Samantha had her 3rd flight in 6 months, as we visited family and friends in NY. We saw a lot of people in a short amount of time. Highlights were taking the Long Island Railroad into NYC, using the subway, and spending time in Central Park ... Samantha was a trooper as mommy used the bjorn with great results. All in all a great time!
