Avery's first trip away

We spent the weekend in St. Louis. We attended Carolyn's 10-year high school reunion and enjoyed a family reunion where Avery got to meet all of Carolyn's relatives. Now we're hoping to figure out a time when he can meet the rest of Rebecca's side of the family. Avery did great on the plane -- he slept the entire time both there and back. We think he gets cuter and cuter every day.

A picture before we left for the high school reunion. It was fun. A lot of Carolyn's old friends were there. It was funny because she had gone to her 5-year reunion, where everyone was out until all hours of the night and there was much drinking and smoking. At this 10-year reunion, everyone was pregnant and/or had small children, there was very little drinking, no smoking, and at 9pm or so everyone started to go home because it was so "late."

Gogo and Carolyn went to a baby consignment sale and got lots of new (well, new for Avery) clothes, including these pajamas. Back at home, we played and tickled him while singing a song that goes "Look at our boy in the dinosaur pajamas, who is that boy in the dinosaur pajamas, i love our boy in his dinosaur pajamas, he is our little dino-boy!"
