This weekend was the second annual visit from Detroit, with my Mom and Dad coming, as well as Debbie and Madison. This year my sister Dawn was unable to come because her little John was not feeling up to the trip.
Here are a few photos, and you can find the rest of them on Flickr.
Because I have not been feeling well since getting back from the Thailand trip, we decided not to make the trip to MI this year for the annual family reunion. I think we made the right call even though we were both disappointed that we didn’t go. The boys were really looking forward to it, it’s all they’ve been talking about.
So, instead we took a much shorter trip down to Chicago’s Millennium Park and walked around with the boys and just hung out on the grass for awhile.
There are more photos here of Andrew only because Max was still sound asleep in the stroller when we stopped. By the time he was awake they were both ready to eat so we didn’t have time to get more photos of him.
Here’s a short movie clip as well of them playing in the grass for the first time.

We’re getting a little more used to doing things and just taking them with us. With the right baby gear, we’re finding you can go almost anywhere!

What can you do with a bunch of pictures and a hard drive full of video, and only 2 hours of time?
Not much. But here it is anyway.

It has only been 8 weeks but it seems like at least a year. It’s just hard to remember what things were like before they came along.
This weekend we had our friend Don over on Saturday and it was his first time meeting the boys. We all just hung out and relaxed with some pizza and beer while playing with them (as much as we could between sleeping and eating). It was a nice relaxing evening.
This week Andrew was weighed and we found out that he’s almost 11 lbs. now. Max has grown as well but we don’t have an official weight on him.
They are both smiling now. It just melts your heart when you pick them up, they make eye contact, and then just smile from ear to ear. Yesterday when I picked Andrew up he was mad and crying, but a few seconds later he was just looking at me with a huge grin. What’s not to love!
I have more video then I have time to process right now, so I’m not sure what else I’ll have posted this week.
Have a great week!
