For few weeks in May, Mike & I enjoyed watching a family of robins. It was pretty fun to peek and see how many feathers appeared each day on the three babies. One day during finals (I know it took me a while to post it) one of the birds fell out of the nest and Linus alerted me to it by pushing it around with his nose. I called and told Mike and he said "Pick it up and put it back", um easier said than done when you despise/fear birds (I blame it on the dive-bombing sparrows as a kid). But I got out some garden gloves and picked the bird up and put it back in the nest. Within a day or two Mike & I were watching as it jumped and attempted to fly, the other two birds lasted another three days before they tried flying.
I took a bunch of pictures of the family, enjoy
These are especially for Shell & Holly as they have a soft spot for animals and birds.

Thomas Time
Debora was gracious enough to let me come and spend the day with her and Thomas last week. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the conversation and of course the snuggle time with one of our super cute nephews. Josh came home for a quick lunch of lemon-y chicken, it was delicious!
Debora & I agreed for my next visit we would plan some fun cooking, I can't wait. Maybe I can get her to teach me a few Portuguese dishes.
Thomas was such a great baby, even took a nap on my shoulder, too cute:)
Here are a few of the pictures of Thomas making faces, can't wait until he can talk and tell us what he's thinking.

Happy 30th Birthday!
Happy birthday supertwins Mike & Michele!Um, sorry about the insanely old picture, I couldn't find a newer one of the two of you together, okay I probably could but it wouldn't have been as funny:) Wasn't this a birthday?
Michele I hope you are having an awesome birthday and that you get to spend some time with your boys & the girls.
Mike will hopefully be done with work by 6 and then we can relax and enjoy some Connecticut Beef (one of Mike's favorites) and maybe some wine.

Dogs Enjoy Seeing Us Again
Things have finally slowed down a little for us. We have some time during the evening (when I get off of work) to spend some time with each other, but also with the dogs. They have been really good about seeing us so sporadically during the last 9 months. But seeing us again means the stupid stuff they do get posted for everyone to see...:)
We took the dogs for a long walk last night (in between rain showers). Lucy was busy looking at some bunnies in a yard and didn't see the straw laid in the grass ahead of her; we didn't think anything of it either. But as soon as she stepped on it she sank in mud about 8" deep, up to her belly! Not sure why it was so muddy, but it was hilarious to see her reaction. She trudged right through it though. Since they were already bound for a bath we took them to the park across the street and let them run around in a creek for a while. Linus found something to roll in, and (as seen in the video) almost rolled himself right into the water. His beard got a little wet, but we were really hoping for a big splash! He then shorted a jump across the water and got a little more wet.
Tonight Lucy was staring out the back door (as usual) and a June Bug started buzzing the screen. She almost bit through the screen trying to get it, but eventually gave up...well we made her stop when she started pawing & jumping on the screen.
2 nights ago we made some Sushi/California Rolls, which we haven't made in a REALLY long time with being so busy, not to mention the meager pickings at the grocery store. Try finding seaweed wraps in a grocery store in a town this size! It turned out as good as we remembered it!
We haven't gotten out as much as we were hoping since the weather has been so rainy. Linus has been even more neurotic with thunderstorms lately. This morning he wouldn't even eat, go outside, and we had to drag him out from under the bed. Not a great way to start the day. Here are some pictures from the last few days...

Great Job Mike!
Mike gave his masters presentation today at the noon seminar series. He did an AWESOME job! I offered to videotape but he declined:)
I'll let him do a post about his project since I'm sure I would butcher it. I took a picture of him before his talk but it's on my phone and I can't remember how to get it off...
I'm really proud of Mike, he did great this quarter and put a lot of work into his project and into making his presentation fantastic!
