Visiting Megs

Colin and I hopped the short flight to Detroit from Madison this past weekend to visit my best friend Meaghan and her family. Unfortunately Juan had to stay in Columbus to work through some project issues.

Colin had a good time, with some moments of extreme fussiness. I chalk that up to sleeping in a different place and meeting new people. We went on a nice long walk and Colin played in the grass. (aka putting as much grass into his mouth as he could). Sunday was Colin's 8 month birthday and he celebrated by standing and holding on to the coffee table. Megs fed us well and I very much enjoyed the relaxation. My favorite pictures from Meg's camera :

No Such Thing as Too Many Pictures!

Madison was hot and muggy this weekend! We had thunder and lightning storms all day Saturday so there wasn't much chance of going to the playground or for a walk. Instead our indoor activity was to get our pictures formally done as a family. We have some nice ones ordered of the 3 of us, but predictably the best are of Colin. Case in point -

Check out the big boy wearing shoes for the 1st time! Funny enough it was actually hard to get our usually laughing baby to smile much. He was too interested in checking out the equipment and lights.

On Friday, Juan and I had a special treat from Colin (helped considerably by Jenn!) As an early anniversary present, they had decorated pictures of Colin with his hand and foot prints and construction paper tracings. They hung them all up so that I would see them when I got home. So sweet!
