Michigan 2009

As everyone knows Drew and I Flew to Michigan (we found a cheap ticket) and he had a blast on the plane. He was such a good little travel partner. [I wish we could have gone under circumstances, but it is always good to see the ones you love none the less.] The Flight from Milwaukee to Grand Rapids HE SLEPT! I did not get a picture of it because he was asleep on me and I had to share a seat so I couldn't move. But I did get these pictures.

Drew was helping me get ready and he found my ear swabs. Goofy kid. Didn't even know he knew they went in your ears. (I made sure he did not put them in too far...don't worry)

I did not get many pictures of my Vander Hart family this week. I'm sure you will see many pictures of them in a week when we have our vacation. It didn't seem like the best time to be taking pictures. We had a brunch at my cousin's Jeff and Sarah Vander Harts house and they have 2 boys so Drew LOVED playing there. He really liked the Sand Box.


He also liked playing with Luke. What Luke did, Drew wanted to do. Monkey See. Monkey Do.


Here he is having a conversation with Grandpa and Grandma Great. I forgot to rotate the picture. Sorry.



Diane and I took Drew to see Luke at work. Here he is with Diane and their Slushy we got at the hospital. The first picture would have been great if I had actually been looking through the lens of the camera..shoot!




Luke. What more is there to say. He liked Luke's pens and light pen. Future Doctor some day?



I just noticed his hair does not look curly in this picture...odd.




Saturday morning Diane and I took Drew to Meijer Gardens (Luke was on call). We just went to the children's' section and Drew had a great time.




Chillin with the Brunkhorsts.


He thought of this himself...brilliant.

A video of him playing. We let him run around in is Diaper Saturday night. He loves to run around in his diaper. Goofball.

We didn't make it the WHOLE weekend accident free. First he ran into their kitchen table. Its a glass table and he was going for his sippy cup and bang. That is why he has the bruise between his eyes on the top of his nose. 2nd they live on a split level and he was doing so WELL with the stairs....going up and down them. Then Sunday morning before we left we heard, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP...yep he fell down the stairs. Oops. There goes the mom-of-the month again. I think it startled him more than anything. He was a-ok and we survived with nothing broken. Good thing Luke was there, felt good to have a Doctor in the house.
We ate at Steak and Shake Sunday before I flew home and I felt guilty because he fell down the stairs so I let him eat what he wanted, so he ate fries and a shake for lunch.
On the way home he fell asleep from Grand Rapids to Milwaukee. This time I got a picture. On the flight from Milwaukee to Des Moines we got drinks and a chocolate chip cookie! Yum! We love Chocolate Chip cookies right out of the oven.
Here is a video of Drew looking out the window. I didn't take the time to edit these videos so you are getting them raw. Enjoy.

The lay over in Milwaukee was a long one for us but luckily we were on ground level so Drew watched all the planes and trucks out the window.
This entertained him for like 5 minutes then he was back on my lap again.
Oh its good to be home with both my boys.
If you want to see more pictures you can see them on my Photo's Link to the top right.

You're getting awfully advanced here with your photoshop collages. Makes me want photoshop. UGH!

We are glad you got to go to Michigan and the trip went well. Diane and Luke loved having you but next time it will be a planned trip under happier circumstances. Thanks for the pictures. Looks like he's going to be a great traveler!
