Weekend Update

We had a blast this weekend, especially with dada home with us! It gave me a chance to catch up on some sleep in the early morning when Ed would get up with Josie, and we enjoyed a few outings too. Saturday morning was filled with stops, including Babies R Us. I have a whole new appreciation for baby gear and what's necessary and what's just frivolous. I still enjoy the frivolous once in a while, but enjoyed the chance for Ed and I to just slowly peruse the aisles of babydom and find things we wanted. We're definitely all set in the stroller department - a stroller for our county roads, beaches and trails, we opted for this beauty, the Baby Trend Expedition (mp3 player and odometer!):

Not that I'm going to be jogging any time soon, but it strolls along so beautifully and with little effort for long walks. But not practical for hauling in the car to the mall, to grandma's house etc. Ed tested them all for weight and foldability and we're happy to have gotten this stroller:

We now have a stroller parking lot in the garage that suits us perfectly! Other goodies we picked up included more bottles and other snuggly things.

We also stopped to visit Pops and Mimi, uncle Brian too! Uncle Brian ran the Chicago marathon today, and while we were a little bit disappointed we couldn't be route-side cheering on the runners with the rest of my family - we are SO PROUD that he finished his first marathon and in pretty great time!
