Kitty Kitty

Eric loves Kittys, especially after these last 2 weeks that we have been kitty-sitting for Marley. He came to our house & Eric loved it. Marley put up with Eric & his antics very well though. Eric used him as a pillow various times & even chewed on his tail a time or two. It was very sad when Marley left us. Eric didn't realize it & is still looking for kitty kitty under the beds & couches......

Eric has always been such a great eater! We have not had to worry about him being too picky at all. Hopefully he will always be this way!

Eric always takes his socks & shoes off in the car!

Eric loves Cookie Monster. He asks to watch the Cookie Monster episode of Sesame Street all the time!

Good Morning!

D&G

Eric has been getting pretty obsessed with Tractors lately so I thought it would be fun to take him to D&G Tractor Supply. We were driving by on the way to Christmas & he noticed the John Deere sign from way off the expressway, and was just repeating tractor the entire way there.

He had to sit on every tractor & try it out- twice!! I think it's safe to say that is his favorite store!! We must go back soon!

Corn

We have always had problems with Eric throwing his food. We used to have a big red tarp that we just left under him instead of cleaning the floor 3x a day. He knows he is not allowed to do it but sneakily does it now. He was not very sneaky with the corn though........

Christmas 2010

Yeah! Eric was so excited to celebrate Christmas. He enjoys any sort of party really. He had some dance moves on Christmas Eve morning when Oma, Opa & Auntie came over to celebrate for breakfast!

Auntie got Eric some fun Thomas presents, he loves Thomas!! Or any choo-choo!

Christmas Eve evening is always spent with the Vandenberg family. Eric loves playing with cousins McKenna, (he calls her Makema), Vivienne (He calls her Vivi), and Cameron (he just calls her baby!)........They exhange presents every year too. He was very excited to get his new Tractor & Fire Engine! He also decided to wear his formal attire.

On Christmas Day we spent time with the Adams' family out at the Love Shack in Eaton Rapids. Santa came!!!! He even brought Eric a Tigers Shirt, Tractors & race cars! Eric was a little unsure but enjoyed his time with Santa.

Tractors

Eric loves tractors & has started calling every tractor "Opa's Tractor"..... Because wherever we see Opa- Opa takes Eric for tractor rides..... at work, at home, and up north.... So Opa's Tractor it is!

Playing in the Snow

We went up north a weekend in December & had a great time relaxing & playing in the snow! Eric loved getting out & playing.

Eric LOVED cranking up the boat or Jet-Ski's this past summer, and sure enough he found the wheel on the hoist on land to try to crank it up!

Yes. Jeff is wearing a Michigan Sweatshirt. I have never seen him in those colors before. He said he doesnt even like it on himself but we better get used to him being a Wolverine! He starts at the U of M Ross School of Business in January for his MBA! Go Jeff! I know you will do great!
