Our First Family Trip

Mike and Jamie eat Bo’s toes in front of the house at Eagle Ridge.

Bo took his first sink bath in the kitchen at Eagle Ridge.

On Sunday morning, we drove through the torrential rain to the Geneva area. I was on the edge of my seat the whole drive. I stayed home with Bo that afternoon so he could nap while everyone else took my mom to show her the grocery store. (I never said we were a normal family… But the grocery store is about a million times nicer than anything we have in Southern Illinois.)

Later that evening Bo went to his second official picnic — a birthday party for Mike’s cousin, Katie. He enjoyed playing on a tablecloth and was even treated to his first trip in the swing.

Bo swung for the first time at Wheeler Park in Geneva where we were celebrating Mike’s cousin’s 15th birthday.

On Monday, I had to go to the dentist and I had 7 shots of Novocaine. Agh! After that, Mom and I went shopping in Geneva. I found the cutest tee that I had to have!

We didn’t do anything earth shattering on our trip. And really, it was more of a trip then a vacation. There really wasn’t anything restful about it but it was nice to be with everyone and spend plenty of time with the most important people in our lives.

The trip affirmed that Bo is a really good baby. He did well, and we kept him on schedule as much as possible, but he really is a good little guy.

Bo is enjoying standing more and more. Here he is standing in front of the big bear at Grandpa and Grandma’s house with Daddy’s help.

It was nice for Bo to be able to spend time with all of his grandparents and with both Mike and I for an extended period of time. It wasn’t Hawaii, but it was fun.

Mommy and Bo at Eagle Ridge. How can you not love this little guy?
