Baby’s first walk

October 30, 2013

Most of the time at my sister’s was spent sitting in her living room but we did manage to get out a couple of times. We decided to take him for his first walk and to get our own legs moving but baby Lincoln was only cool with a short walk and then cried pretty loudly on the way back because he was hungry. That little cry is so heart breaking.

I love all the fall leaves everywhere. There are so many more in Michigan than Seattle. I grabbed a hand full and tossed them at the dog. I’m not sure he was amused.

The cutest little nephew

October 28, 2013

I’ve been in Michigan for almost a week now hanging out with my new baby nephew Lincoln, my mom, my sister and her husband. I flew in last Tuesday and met him for the first time and I was so surprised at how tiny he his. I knew he was less than 2 weeks old but you forget how itty bitty a newborn can really be. Here are a few of my favorite from the last few days.

I’m not sure I believed my mom when she said all you really want to do is sit around and look at him but I get it now. We’ve been on a few outings but it’s really nice just hanging around the house and watching this little guy grow. He’s the sweetest and I love him.

Brunch in the backyard

This weekend we had the most amazing weather in Seattle. It was sunny all day Saturday and Sunday. Walker and I took full advantage of it and we even more glad that we chose a place with a backyard. We made brunch and headed out back to enjoy our meal in the sun. Then we had some back yard work planned to straighten out our little patch of land. These are a glimpse of the yard before we’ve done any work. Even though it’s a bit untidy it sure it nice to have.

I’m thinking maybe some pumpkin carving is in order? Care to join me?
