Who says brushing your teeth isn't fun?!

Sadie LOVES to brush her teeth and we do it twice sometimes three times a day. She especially likes the new kid toothpaste and the fun Crayola toothbrush we got her. She just kind-of eats the toothpaste and sucks on the toothbrush - hey, I guess it is a start!

She seems to really enjoy brushing her teeth in the buck before bed

(as documented from last night's session)

totally cute!

Happy LOVE Day

Hope you gave lots of hugs and kisses to peeps you love this valentine's day - Sadie sure did!

LOVE was in the air and so was some yummy chocolates from Grandma & Grandpa J

Reeds Lake Kite Festival '09

Yes, the SUN was out in Michigan in February and it was about 50 degrees - what an amazing weekend! People just seemed to be in better moods and smiling more. I love what a dose of sunshine can do.

We spent Saturday afternoon at the Reeds Lake Kite Festival with some good friends. We had a great table on the deck, friends to chat with, some beers, free hot dogs, and cool kites to look at. It was a pretty perfect Saturday!

The Custers enjoying the kites and beers on the deck

YAY, we ran into Robert, Genevieve, and Michele - it was super nice to see them. They've been incognito for a while with some yucky sickness. Plus, I am so happy Kurt finally got to meet these guys - he wasn't sure they really existed :)

Chicago Trip to Meet Baby Desmond

YAY for Baby Desmond!!!

What a doll and he looks exactly like his daddy, Jason (good thing he's a cutie, too). Let me tell you, this kid loves to eat, sleep, and poop a TON. He seems to do everything with extreme passion. I only heard him cry 2 times while I was there and he is just such a little angel! Mom & dad are very lucky to have such a chilled out baby :) New parents have it rough - I remember those first few months and it is baby bootcamp, so we decided to head over to Chicago and help out. Sadie was a huge help of course (just being cute and all). 

Jason & Margaux with new baby and Sadie - Wow, she can almost touch the ceiling (okay, not really). Hanging out in their new bright orange kitchen... LOVE IT!!!!

Just hanging out and relaxing with Desmond. He's pretty neato!

HILARIOUS - big yawns

At brunch with friends - it was soooooo great to hang out with everyone and eat yummy food at Feast. 

Winter in Ludington

We LOVE going up to visit Grandma & Grandpa Johnson in Ludington. Especially when there is a ton of snow to play in. We have had such a great winter sledding, snow shoeing, skiing, and just enjoying the beautiful snow. Okay, so we are kind of ready for spring and long walks outside, but winter in Ludington is pretty darn magical!

Yep, this is in my folks backyard. It is so pretty that it takes your breath away.  We went back here to go sledding, but it was more like pulling Sadie up and down the hill. Kurt got a pretty good work out! Grandma J tried to get Sadie to eat snow, but she was having none of it. 

Let's teach them young. It was funny because Kurt said that he would not let Sadie have a toy cell phone and now she has 2 play cell phones and my old real one!
