Lake and NE!

                                                        I'm 3 months old today!!!

                                                      Someone loves his grandpa.

                                    Such a good little corn shucker.  It's in his Iowa blood.

Sleeping George.  Mom is now the baby whisperer - never before has he slept on his back without being swaddled.  I had to get a photo to prove it.

So we went to the lake a few weekends ago to go see Kate and Cole when they were in MO.  Freddy got to play with his big cousins and had so much fun with them.  They swam, ate s'mores, and even talked grandpa into a canoe ride.  George had fun watching the action and being held by his cousins.  Then after the weekend Chris and Tattles went home and the rest of us packed up and headed to Nebraska to meet Matt and Jamie and spend a few days together and give them their kids back.  The car ride (about 5.5 hours) with George was a little rough, especially since the car was so packed on the way out - 2 carseats with babies, 2 kids and 3 adults.  Whew.  But it was great seeing my brother and Jamie and having them meet George and hang out with Freddy.  The hotel had a really cool pool and we also found a great park nearby with splash pads and paddle boats so Freddy was loving it.  After our road trip back, we stayed at the lake a few days to rest up before the drive back home.  So good to see family even though I wouldn't really recommend a hotel stay with a 3 month old.  :-)
