trip to the detroit zoo!

We had a great day at the detroit zoo! - Charlie really enjoyed all of the animals and Grammy & Pops even taught him to growl like a bear or lion and now that's all he does! rrrrrrrrrrrr...



checking out the seals in the tunnel! (pops couldn't wait to show me this!)


here fishy fishy fishy...


ummm... your head matches my fleece...


mommies & babies are loved just the same no matter what species you are.


tender moment with grammy


zip up pops! its getting chilly!



LOVE these.


charlie loves to hang upside down!


and ride on shoulders!






famous photo near the fountain (i have one when i was a baby too!)


last stop: visiting the turtles! (hello there little friend)



and he's OUT.

let's go blue!

What a perfect fall day to visit ann arbor. Alp and I were VERY excited (ok, I was much more excited than Alp) to show Charlie ann arbor & UofM!


started out our tour on the right foot with lunch at zingerman's.. YUM.


excuse me!


watermelon, meet pickle-- pickle, watermelon.


our next stop was the diag (the heart of campus) -- here charlie is on his way to class...(superstitious UofM students don't step on the "M" until they've passed their first "blue book" exam.. I wonder if they'll even have "blue books" when charlie goes to school. besides, technically he's crawling...)


he made all of the students smile.


we're already saving for tuition...


janell came to meet us for our walking tour! - we love her. (I used to babysit for her when she was 4 years old and now she's in grad school!)


Next stop: law quad (one of the most beautiful places on campus)





I wonder how these leaves taste?


wheeeeeee!



we had to make 1 last stop for mommy-

here she is teaching me how to spin the cube!




daddy's request for a last stop before we head back home.

NYPD manicotti pizza!


don't worry, i didn't have any of the cheese- just the crust!

10 months & halloween costume preview!

i took full advantage of my mom's sewing advice while she was here and we tackled a few little sewing projects including charlie's "turtle" costume -- isn't it obvious? :)


can't catch me grammy! i'm speedy the turtle!


"eyes" that have yet to be glued


i especially like the curls sticking out of his hood

apparently charlie's new costume gives him super powers because he became very brave and climbed onto the side table- i assure you he has never tried this before, nor since this time...



a turtle cave!
