We're home from our trip!

Mitchell and I made it home from our trip to Wisconsin/Minnesota this afternoon. The flight home was MUCH less eventful thant the flight there, in a good way! We had a wonderful trip (as usual!). Here are a few more pictures....


Mitchell and his Aunt Kel

Kelli watched Mitchell for two of the days. She took him to a pet store where he walked up and down the aisles shouting "dog" over and over again! Oh, man - I don't think I've mentioned that Mitchell is now saying a few words!!! The only ones I can FOR SURE make out are "Momma" and "Dog".

I think Jacob is going to be jealous that he's not saying "Dada" more consistently! He says it, but hasn't figured out that it applies to Jacob yet. In fact, he said "dada" to an African American man on the airplane today - the man (and other passengers) got quite a chuckle out of it!


Mitchell reading a bedtime story with Grandma

This was my mom's specialty! Mitchell loves reading and she could typically read him to sleep each night. Talk about sweet dreams :)

I had to go to Chicago for a two day meeting on Monday and Tuesday, but I knew Mitchell was in safe hands!

Using Aunt Kelli as a crutch

Mitchell is getting closer and closer to walking on his own, but he's not quite there yet!

I've been trying to teach Mitchell sign language here and there, and he's finally doing some back! His favorite sign is "ball". We usually play with balls and throw them to the dogs, so he seems to be a bit confused and is using the sign for both a ball and a dog! We've got a little work to do!

Mom & David -Thanks again for letting us visit! We will see you in a few weeks at Thanksgiving!
