Mirand-o-rama!
My incredible, long time friend Miranda graciously flew across the country with her son Ryan for a visit. I had a great time showing off Michigan and laughing because when you are with Miranda, you laugh! I love the fact that now I sometimes refer to my kids as Boober and Chuckles and that now I notice all the amazing doors in Ann Arbor. We did EVERYTHING: Jenny's Market(twice, it was closed the first time), Wiard's, The Hands On Museum, Kirtland, Grizzly Peak's, Downtown(lots of downtown, I got us lost), Steve and Berry's, Stuchis, and more! The pictures show it all!

Psycho Weather!
I have to point out how crazy our weather has been. Yesterday the high was a record at 90 degrees. On Wednesday the high is going to be 55 degrees. Why can't we just have normal weather? I guess that would make us California....

The Browns Visit Michigan!
Seth's sister Collette and husband Mike came to visit us last Wednesday.
Most importantly they brought their beautiful baby girl Cassie! Matthew is in love with her and was fascinated by everything about her, especially her hair and binky.
It was so fun to hold a dainty little girl for a change.
On Thursday we took a tour of the Ford Rouge Factory and watched them build the Ford F-150. I'm not much of a car person but it was well worth the price.
That night we went and ate at Cottage Inn Pizza and had the Spicy Mediterranean Pizza, YUM! On Friday Seth had to give a presentation so we went apple picking at Erwin Orchards. It was REALLY hot so we picked the apples fast and cooled off with apple cider and pumpkin donuts!
That night we wanted to give them the downtown Ann Arbor dining experience so we went to the Prickly Pear. It was a very unique restaurant and we even walked by some anti-war protesters on the way (very Ann Arbor). On Saturday Mike and Seth went to the game and Collette and I went shopping. I think they enjoyed the experience but once again it was very hot and they called to be picked up at the beginning of the fourth quarter. That night we taught them one of our favorite games Beananza, and ate apple pie!
Charlie loved all the attention and keeps asking me when they are coming back to play. We are so glad they came and we had such a wonderful time hosting them!

Why?
Charlie is almost three and with that has come the questions. It's amazing how a three year old can really make you think. Here is a sample of one of our many conversations today.
Me: charlie, It's time to take a bath.
Charlie: Why do I have to take a bath?
Me: Because you stink?
Charlie: Why do I stink?
Me: Because you are a little boy?
Charlie: Why am I a little boy?
Me: Because Heavenly Father made you a little boy?
Charlie: Why did He make me a boy?
Me: um....
We are doing great! We are excited for fall visitors and festivities!
