Weekend Away

Road Trip! Andrew got to spend his first night away from home in quite a while this weekend. We all went for a relaxing stay at grandma and grandpa Baron's house. This was his, moms and dads chance to roam around and venture out a bit.

We began by attending his friend Brianna's first birthday celebration. There Andrew was passed around like the proverbial football. He was very happy to reacquaint himself with some "old" friends. Alexis, Abby, Brianna and Andrew go way back (all two weeks). There was cake and signing (yes, even dad sang along to Happy Birthday). Andrew passed on the cake but took in some refreshments when the occasion arose.

From there, we headed back to grandma and grandpa's place. Andrew was able to spend some quality time with three of his cousins, grandma, grandpa, and even his aunts and uncles. I am sure Andrew is learning quite a bit from his older cousins. It was nice for everyone to sit back, relax and spend some time together again. Dad took the opportunity to go fishing and even sneak in some golfing with grandpa. We are just counting the days until Andrew and his cousins are able to go along with us to the golf course. FYI, if you see the eight or nine of us coming to a golf course near you, try and get the tee-time ahead of us.

From there it was home again, home again. Lo and behold we drove through yet another set of Sunday rain showers. Make it three in a row for my guy. The good news, no tornadoes reported this time.

Today Andrew got to visit with mom's second graders. I am also somewhat sure that he got to meet a number of her fellow staff members. Mom and Andrew informed me that everyone was very excited to meet Andrew. I am also somewhat sure that the students enjoyed meeting him and talking to their teacher about the past two weeks. I would have posted some cool class picture of the event, but for those of you not in the education world I have two words...media release.

All in all it was an exciting, fun-filled, and tiring four days for all three of us. We look forward to repeating our performance as soon as possible.

Talk to you all soon...
