Yeah! Nani is here!

My mom came to visit from the Far East
Well she returned from a trip to India then flew here the next day

Trying on the Indian clothes she brought

We had a belated birthday celebrationMy mom was happy with her perfume
- but Michael was thrilled just to have pie again

Aquatic Center

Michael having a great time at the pool

He was happy to stand up to his neck in water and even dunked himself a few times

Going down the kiddie slide

Coming 'round the bend of a big slide

Check out that smile!
Michael loved going down the big slides with us

Ready to go down again
As soon as we exited, Michael was running up the stairs ready to go again. Then he stood in line for the curvy slide - the other one was pretty fast - he got a bit scared

Splash!!

Art Museum

We went to the Art Museum this morning

It was a great way to get out of the heat

Of course Michael ended up outside

Doing some stairs a la Rocky

Nicole!!

Nicole spent the week with us
We had a wonderful visit

Checking out the presents she brought

Cooling off by the pool

We had a great time together
Michael showered Nicole with kisses all day, unless he was dragging her around the house to his toys
He was so excited to have her with us, he kept saying "Hi Cole!"
Kisses!!
Soaked after a jog in the rain

Up close with a gorilla
Despite the heat we had to let Nicole see our biggest attraction in Omaha - the zoo!

Art Class

Today was Michael's final art class

Getting a little guidance from his art teacher

Michael loves getting stamps at the end of class

Earlier this week his Gymboree summer session ended too

Michael is 2!!!

Michael loves his new bouncer castle

Inside the ball pit

Make a wish

He decided the pie server was a better way to eat
We ended the day with a big birthday bubble bath
