Trip to Michigan, Oct 2-8

Jameson and I took our first solo trip (missing daddy).  We flew to Wisconsin and stayed the night with grandma and grandpa. The next morning, we drove with grandma up and over to East Jordan, MI to visit Aunt Natalie and Uncle Matthew.  In Michigan, we enjoyed some fall weather with fall festivities: apple picking, a pumpkin patch and football!  The challenges of flying with a 9 month old by myself and taking two 10 hour road trips (about a 10-11 hour drive between homes in Wisconsin and Michigan) were tough, but totally worth it.  We had a blast and can't wait to go back!

One of the most exciting moments was that upon our arrival Jameson got a gift from his Aunt Natalie and Uncle Matthew - a picture frame which said, "Cousins are forever" and had a picture of an ultrasound!!!!!  Aunt Natalie surprised us with news that she's pregnant!  We can't wait to meet their sweet little one due April 24 (just 2 days after Jameson's Aunt Karen is due with her third little bundle of joy!...it's going to be a busy month!)

Jameson showing Uncle Matthew just how much fun he has on the swing.  (Too bad we had to leave Michigan before those apples made it into a pie!)
More practice in a high chair.

Breakfast at the apple orchard.

I love you Grandma!!!

Fun in the Pumpkin Patch.

Out to lunch with grandpa and grandma before having to fly back home. It was a perfect fall day to eat outside.


The affection between Rufus and Jameson apparently grew stronger with distance :)
