Summer Days

Since it was so nice this week, Brody took several walks with Grandma Julie and Grandpa Dave. He did take a little spill on one of the excursions, but all the scrapes have healed.

Grandma Linda came Thursday afternoon to watch Brody on Friday. They went to Lapsit at the Altoona Library on Friday where Brody "flirted with all the girls," Grandma reports. Grandma was also able to find Brody a shirt and shorts at a local garage sale.

Saturday was a busy day. Val's Aunt Judy had a "Spa" at our house with a few friends. It was fun to be pampered. Brandon and Brody attended cousin Ben's 4th Birthday Party in Mason City.

Brandon is busy with yard work and washing the cars this afternoon. Brody just went down for his nap. It has turned out to be a beautiful sunny day!

Does anyone read this anymore?

I'm always surprised when someone says to me, "I checked your blog, and you haven't updated it for awhile." I didn't realize anyone was still reading it. So, I will TRY to get in the habit of updating it with the goings-on in the Boelman household.

Last Saturday Brody and his parents and grandparents had our photos taken at Reiman Gardens in Ames. It was a rainy day, but it was beautiful inside. We should have all the photos in a few weeks, but you can see a preview on the photographer's blog.

Brody also visited the dentist for the first time last week. Dr. Steve was nice (even when Brody tried to bite him). Unfortunately, we think he has been cursed with his parents' teeth. He may have gotten my eyelashes, but he also got my overbite.
