Sitting Up

Austin has been sitting up now for a week or so. It is so much fun to see him go through all these milestones! Here are just a couple of pictures I took this morning after remembering I haven't posted in a while.

MICHIGAN!!!

We were in Holland for about 5 days and it was soooo great! We relaxed, took walks, saw a bunch of people, celebrated Levi's B-day, swam in Lake Michigan and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Fun at the beach on the 4th of July!

Let's see what Grandpa Schuitema's face feels like... ;)

Great Grams and Austin!

Papa and Austin reading together.

HAPPY 1st Birthday LEVI!!! We love you!

What a hapy little guy!

Levi and Paula came over one night and the cousins got to hang out. It was way overdue, and sooo much fun!

YEAH...Laura has finally got to meet Austin! He was very excited! It was about time. ;)

A perfect day for golfing!

This is how he prefers to hold his bottle. ;)

Pizza...it was too beautiful outside to stay in!

A must while in Holland....Hand and Foot (card game-thanks to Andrew's fam)! :)

Good Earth (bagel shop)! This is another must when we come to Holland. Austin gets to visit it at least once everytime we are in Holland. He really wanted part of Andrew's bagel sandwich! ;)

Austin finally meets Ari! :) They were born two days apart!

Uh-oh...Grams is ALREADY teaching Austin how to drive....what can we say...the earlier the better, after all he is half Schuitema. ;)

The Schuitema Get-together at Kollen's Park! We had a great time!

Hanging out with Uncle Kyle and Aunt Pam; who Austin does not get to see enough!

First time Great Aunt Pam has held Austin.

Great Grandparents....what a BLESSING!

Daddy and Austin after a dip in Lake Michigan right before it was time to head back home; Austin was not ready to go home quite yet.

Back in Indy again. We recently purchased one of those self-rising pools and Austin decided he would like to try it out in his little turtle. He is in about a 1/2 a foot of water because we had to drain it and refill it due to our backyard not being level enough. ;) He sure does not seem to mind!
