Yogurt Face

He's a big boy now that he can eat with a spoon. I just left him too long with yogurt and he realized it is too much fun to play with.

Lazy Summer Days

Nicholas' newest feat a couple weeks ago was learning how to drink out of a straw. Sipping on a capri sun entertained him as he "helped" Dad wash the car.

We had a short and sweet visit from cousin John who drove down from Omaha before leaving for Notre Dame. We had good conversations and shared lots of insight. We decided that we are creating a town of Slonkoskys and Zunigas by the way.

Well, this big little tower was built awhile ago actually, but I couldn't help and put up the picture. I will find towers like this around the floor because he loves to build with his blocks. For some reason it is so cute to me. I'm totally a first time mom.

Back from Vacation

So I took a long vacation from our blog...but we're back. These were some favorite shots from the vacation we took with my family. Maybe it's just taken me this long to recover and come out of "vacation mode." Nicholas was enamored with the sand, as was aunt Grace(in her floral two-piece).

We did everything from rowing in canoes,tubing, to hiking, to cards and as always, playing the classic game of "family". On the hike was a beautiful waterfall and Joe was the loner who decided to jump off it.

Wedding Season for the Zunigas

It's taken me awhile to recover from vacation and the wedding to finally get these up! We had thee best time with our family. Everyone had a part in the wedding. Nicholas was so handsome in his tux...and so was Andrew ; ) Anna and Gabe were in wedding bliss and we all were sore from dancing four straight hours!

The bachelorette party and pre-wedding prep were so fun. I got to take Anna to get her hair done early Sat. morning as she had done with me when I got married. It was fun to share that exclusive moment with her ; ). Georgous as ever.
