4 Weeks

Hey Sweetpea!

You are sleeping even better these days - sometimes 4-5 hour stretches. It pretty awesome in my book! You are obviously growing and getting bigger every day. Its so amazing to see you change so quickly. I love just staring at you and checking out your little body. :)

We had a few fun adventures this week.....

• We went and sadi Hello to Margie, Denise and Sue and the hair cut shop. Sue gave your Daddy is FIRST haircut and he still goes to see her. So they are basically like family friends. They were thrilled to meet you. I'm certain we'll take you there to get your hair cut one day. 
• We went for a quick after school visit to Hillside (Mommy's work)! Everyone was hanging out after school to stay for parent teacher conferences so they were all available to meet you - and of course they went gaga. Here are some of my good friends snuggling with you:

• Our favorite Auntie Katie swung by for another visit. I love her so much and I am so happy that she is around to give me Mommy advice and to give you loves. She's the best.

•  Your First Halloween! Boo!
• I didn't dress you up in some goofy outfit (you're too tiny) - but we did have a cute little onesie that said 'My First Halloween'. Your Aunt Alli loves Halloween and I am certain that she will make sure you enjoy the holiday to the fullest in the future - goofy costumes and all. Your Dad had a football game that night so we went over to Grammy and Grandpa's house. The Silsby's stopped by for a visit too. It was a nice evening.

• AND THEN we went to McCall! Your first road trip and over night stay! Awesome! Your Pops and I love McCall so much. We try to visit as much as we can as it always rejuvenates us and fills our buckets. We are so lucky to be able stay in the Tyree's awesome cabin. You slept the whole way up in the car. The weather was pretty icky - but it didn't matter - we needed the rest - so we basically holed up and watched movies and football (Our Spartans spanked Michigan) and stared at you all weekend. I loved every minute.

• Your Great Aunt Bonnie made it back to civilization from her trekking adventure in Nepal:
• hello all - just to let you know I arrived back in Kathmandu late yesterday. the trip was amazing of course. more difficult, more adventurous, itinerary changes, people got sick and air evacuated out. only half of us made it to north base camp - yeah! I was one of them. it was a trip full of unexpected happenings, many weather issues, but all in all, I got my $ worth for adventure. but I am ready to come home. just now back from a 5 hr tour of  2 temples. now going to have a beer with trip mates who are still here, then to a yoga class tonight and dinner late with friends. it's been amazing but I already said that. so much happened I can barely begin to describe. but how is everyone there?????? please let me know all is well. how is Katie Jane?????? goodness. so much time has passed I feel like I left the planet. kisses, hugs to all. tomorrow I am on way back to AK and USA. love, me

• You are One Month old today!

So glad I'm your Mom ~ Love, me
