Tidbits

Just some tidbits to finish out our time in Birmingham...

----------

We got in some nice visits with friends and family along the way. A few snaps of some heretofore unmentioned visits...





What a joy it was to catch up with all these wonderful women!

----------


The little guy started crawling down South.



Pretty soon, he was leading the show.



Not really. But Lily Rose did give him a turn as line leader.

We bought a playpen on our way back from the airport.

----------

Some naked play was had.



And enjoyed.

Andrew left Birmingham a completely weaned baby. It's been a week and a day since his last nursing. My body's still fighting it. And so is my heart. But Andrew's doing beautifully. Now to wean him from the Karo syrup we had to put in those bottles...

----------

I miss this sweet thing.I really,

really,

really

miss her.

Did you know they sell that dry Ranch dressing mix in a big ol' shaker jar? Well, they do! I found it at the Wal-mart in Birmingham! The grocery stores I frequent in the District don't seem to stock the little packets (sad, but true) and there's no Wal-mart in the immediate vicinity (also sad, but also true), so I nabbed one of those shaker jars and took it along on my interstate travel. Can I tell you how excited I am to have it in my pantry? I love that stuff!

----------

And, finally, I present perhaps the greatest view in the world.

Having a baby underfoot is a really good thing. Who's with me on this?
