Extended Family

Since we last spoke, I've been a traveling man. On Friday I went over to visit Dawn and Brie while Mommy and Daddy sneaked off to Bolingbrook to have some "alone time." During the day I hung out with Shay and Max. They are a bit older than me. It's hard for me to tell who is who, they look so much a like!

On Saturday we went on a road trip. It was farthest I've been away from home. We went to Macomb to visit Creenie & Pop Pop. Mommy says she has the best Godparents in the whole world. I think she does too, because I liked them a lot. They thought I was cute...so I smiled at them. Mommy is on a quest to find out how we are all related. I got to meet John & Colleen too. I came home with more clothes, Mommy can't wait to put them on me!

On Sunday afternoon I got to see Dionne! I haven't seen her in almost two months! She came over to help give Mommy some tips on saving her milk for me while she's at work.

Later that night we went to Grandma Karen's for her birthday dinner. She chose to have pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. I guess when it's your birthday you get to choose what is for dinner. I know what I would choose, Mommy's Milk!

Sunday night I was so tired from Aunt Jo, Grandma and Jill holding me that I fell asleep before Mommy could give me a bath! Since I knew Mommy was having a big day the next day (today was her first day back at work), I wanted to be close to her, so I fussed a little so I could sleep in bed with her and Daddy.

Amazingly, I only woke up once in the night with Mommy and Daddy close by. I got up with Mommy at 5:30 and ate. Mommy got a shower in, breakfast, and still had time to give me a quick bath before we went to Dawn's. Amazing.

Mommy had a busy day at work and had over 500 emails to sort. She said she didn't get very far because she had a meeting to go to, and lots to catch up on from being gone for over three months. I got new clothes from Sandy and a gift card from one of Mommy's 4-H clubs. Mommy said they took a collection so that I could get a new toy! Thanks Towanda 4-Hers! :)

I'm glad that Mommy is back to work, if we can't be together all day, I'm glad she has something important to do like Daddy. I've been missing him during the days for a long time now. He always comes back though. We look at car parts on the internet together and he knows just how to rock me to put me to slee.

Check out some new photos and a new video of me playing with my laptop! ;)
