A Trip to Ohio


We took a rode trip this weekend to Ohio to visit Matt's family. It was his Grandma's 90th birthday, his Aunt's birthday and his counsin Courtney's baby shower - so we were busy. Alec was a champ - he was great in the car, slept a little and then pretty much entertained himself, and then he had a ball running around with Reid and getting attention from all of his extended family who he doesn't see all that often. We continue to be amazed at how well he travels and handles changes to his schedule - he was up super late both nights and aside from waking up a little scared during the night (we were in Matt's Grandma's basement and think he was a little freaked out about not knowing where he was,) I don't think he cried or fussed the entire weekend. We are super glad we made the trip and really enjoyed getting to spend time with everyone.

Collecting and breaking sticks at Jim and Paulette's house kept the boys entertained for quite awhile.

Always with the biggest of everything - Kat started calling him Bam-Bam, which we think is quite fitting.



Watching Thomas on the way home - he was pretty enamored with having his own "tv." He was being generally adorable on the car trip home and at one point Matt looked back at him and then said, "sometimes I feel like I love him so much it makes me hurt." I thought it was pretty sweet.

Even though I am sure it makes for a very gross and soggy blanket, I adore how Alec sucks on his lovey. Those pictures are too cute!
