Trip Report, Part 1

We're back home and getting resettled after shoveling much snow and laundry. The trip north was great, although I'm amused that I got to see the warmest day of the year (so far) in Minnesota and came back to our heaviest snowstorm of the season.

Although I found the sign on one of our first gas stops pretty accurate, the trip went well- Eamon traveled like a rock star.

We got to see lots of cranes. None came close enough to drop anything on our car, but we did enjoy watching them. 

We started off at Clark's, where a few friends got to greet Eamon and hang out.

Eamon took being passed about pretty well....

And Nick showed off his growing hockey skills. Note the team colors!

Eamon also got to visit his grandparents in the house-under-renovation... not the best grandparent-and-baby pic, but look at all that open space!  

To be continued...

Update

I just started uploading photos from the trip. There is too much to update and the trip is not over, so you all will have to wait for a trip report. I'll try to make it worth it. As I was uploading, I got a reminder of what we're going home to.

 

Yes, that is the guest bathroom in the final stages of construction. Hmmm, can we stay here?

The other reason I'm not uploading pics- I'm spoiled. Possibly permanently. Jen has been doing photos of Eamon, and they are soooo wonderful. Much better than anything I have at the moment. Or ever will have, really. So I'm not so motivated to play with ours. But I will. In the meantime, we ended the photo session with Eamon and the Lessinger twins, Holden and Maddox. Three babies in a beanbag. So very cute.

Initially, Eamon was very tired out from all of his hard work modeling.

Then, Eamon finally noticed that he was at the bottom of the dog pile. And decided to take over Holden's brain (or just rub it).

The pile of babies is darn cute. The photos, even cuter. Jen is a genius. I will post the link to her photos when they're up (patience... twins!).

Sooo big.

I forgot to post the first month update- 23.5 inches, 9lb 13 oz. Or 50th percentile head and weight, 95th percentile length. Guess where that came from??

As of yesterday, Eamon is exactly 10 lbs. As Ray keeps saying, "Hmm, he's a keeper". 

Eamon and Ray celebrate (try to ignore me laughing):
