I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Apple of My Eye

Since birth, Natey's right eye has had a blocked tear duct.  Today we solved that problem with Dr. Kozak and the helpful and friendly staff at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
Welcome!

After Dr. Nathan checked out baby Nathan (above), nurse Tina came in for one last check. She and Natey exchanged grins and giggles and she asked if Nathan had already been given his happy medicine. We said no. She said, "He's always this happy?" Kyle said, "That's my boy!" It was very cute.

Dinner Date

Tonight we enjoyed a dinner date with Kyle's parents.

Table for five, please! 
Perfect fit

Natey hearts Grandpa and Nana 
Kyle grows tired of photo time and gets sassy :)
That's quite a reflection!
Thanks for dinner Nana and Grandpa! :)sbc

Ask and You Shall Receive

This Father's Day, Kyle, Natey and I went out for dessert. 

I asked for a size that a baby could handle. This cute place in downtown DeWitt actually has baby cones. Who knew? Super, super cute. 

Daddy cone, Baby cone 
Too full to finish (but good work!)
 Happy Father's Day! :)sbc

A big thank you to everyone--due to travel drama we had to reschedule the party (almost twice)--but almost everyone still managed to make it.

Happy birthday to the happiest one year old I know!
