BRODY'S BAPTISMAL

Brody James Weindl was baptized on July 10, 2011 at St. Cecilia's Church. Grandpa Tom did the honors in baptising Brody. Brody was a great sport. He grimaced a little when the holy water was poured on
his head but he didn't cry at all. It was a wonderful ceremony.

HANGING OUT AT POINT NO POINT BEACH, WA

One thing we've learned living in the Seattle area when it's summer you must be outside at all times. We had a fun family outing at Point No Point which is a beautiful beach about 20 miles north of Bainbridge Island. We love how Sophia is finally getting into making sand castles for her princess's. This year it finally clicked. Brody likes demolishing all the castles we make. It must be a boy thing.

SEATTLE ZOO

The kids really enjoy the zoo. I think their favorite exhibit are the gorillas. They didn't want to leave.

BBQING TIME

Summer arrived late this year. I think the warm weather kicked in later in July so we've been taking advantage of eating all our meals outside. Sophia is such a wonderful older sister to Brody. She's very motherly.

WE'RE BACK!!!

So we've been out of blog touch this summer for a good reason......we were so busy this summer that we didn't have a chance to update our blog. So if you're still reading our blog, the next postings will be a snapshot of our summer fun. It feels good to be back!!

IT'S TREEHOUSE TIME

The begining of the treehouse

Inside my treehouse

Daddy has been working very hard to build us a magnificent tree house. Actually, I think Daddy built a treehouse for his cigar room. After a month of hard work we had the unveiling for my birthday. This is such a cool treehouse. I feel like a lucky girl.

BRODY LOVES HIS CARS

When we're playing outside, Brody loves playing with the toy cars. He can stand and open the door for hours. Then he loves siting in the driver seat playing with the steering wheel.
