Mel had her 6 month checkup today. She is 14lbs 8ozs (5%) and 25.5'' (13%). She has been eating solids for about a month now. She didn't like it at first, but now we are doing much better. Her favorites are peas and carrots, after hating the first fruits I gave her. She is so cute and I am always asked if she is ever not smiling. We are so glad that she is in our family.

Megan started calling these guys "Nemos" after hearing all of the other kids do it. She liked these.
A common occurrence during adventures.
A Beluga whale.
We saw a sea lion show. These were Megan's favorite.
Earlier this month we took a trip to Niagara Falls. We even went to Canada! We loved it.
American side. American Falls (Horseshoe Falls is in the background). They had walk ways all round the top and sides of the falls. We didn't go down, what with the kiddos and all.
I don't want to go there!!
Canada Side. We were going to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. This is after the boat ride. Like my hair?
Pulling away from the falls. Mel fell asleep two seconds after I took this picture. The spray and the noise didn't bother her.
Meg, on the other hand, did not like it.
They passed out ponchos for everyone. Mel thought they were very tasty.
Here is Meg.
American Falls, American Side. 
Horseshoe Falls, Canadian Side. These two make up Niagara Falls. We took a boat like the one in the picture. It went to the bottom of both falls.
This plaque shows the International Boundary Line. So I left Mel in Canada. Oops.

We went on one last tour of upstate New York before we moved. We were lucky to spend two days there. We first went to Fayette to the Whitmer Farm.

We were really blessed to be able to experience it.We went to Niagara Falls and some Church sites for our anniversary. Here are some pictures from that great day. It was so fun to go through the pictures again. I haven't done that in a while.
