Hey everyone! Just got back from a very pleasant visit with some family friends a few hours away. They usually live in MD, so it was nice to catch them 'in-state'. A relaxed visit, friendly and hospitable folks, good coffee and meatballs- just a really great time! The car ride was not so pleasant, though, as Kaden still has issues with his car seat. We did pull over 3-4 times, thereby turning a normally 2.5-3 hr trip into a 4+ hr trip -- EACH WAY. Yet there was still a very-not-fair amount of fussing, crying and screaming from our normally easy going boy. Enough so that I'm wondering if we shouldn't be saving for future therapy sessions he'll need to combat an unnatural fear of cars and parking lots! (I'm sure there's a fun term for that, but I'm too tired to google the definition.)
However, when not actually on the road, K-baby is becoming more and more fun to be with. He laughs and giggles and coos... and gives us funny looks and serious stares. He's feeling heavier, though I know I can't complain since he only recently passed some relatives' birth weights!
Tomorrow we have an intentionally light day planned so Kaden can get all settled in before our vistors arrive. We've got some out of state family visiting (yea!) for his baptism (double yea!). I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, and am SURE to post cute pics soon :)

Oh the fun of road trips with little ones! Our kids are pretty good in the car at this point and our trips are still prolonged- ugh! Glad you got to enjoy a fun time :)
Hang in there! Michael is just starting to get a little less cranky about his seat, though not enough to venture a drive to Florida. Sorry we can't be at the baptism, but we'll be thinking of you!
