after Josh was born and named her Isabelle. This weekend we finally got to meet her. We left Friday around 11 am and made the very long drive to MI. We got stuck in nasty Chicago traffic which took us 3 hours to get through. The remainder of the drive was pretty fast. Josh did FANTASTIC. Literally was a champ. Never once did we stop for him. He conveniently was ready to stop when we needed food or gas. We arrived at Harry and Amber's place around 9:30 pm (MI time). We spent the night hanging out with them and our friend Baker. Josh did pretty well that night too. Saturday we went to Amber's wedding shower while Jim, Harry, and Baker went golfing.
Josh was a hit with the ladies at the shower of course. After the shower we drove to Royal Oak to meet his cousin Izzy!We got to Abby and Aaron's place around 4pm and spent the rest of the night showing off Joshua. Just about everyone in Jim's family was there. We got to meet our niece (Josh's cousin) Izzy who is so darn cute. Her hair is so adorable. It sticks up on top and is so long it adds about 2 inches to her height. It was so nice to stay at 
their place because they had all the baby essentials. And since they are only 3 weeks apart they are in the same size diapers along with liking the same things. It was very fun for Abby and I to trade off... it seemed that one of us was always nursing and one of the babies was always sleeping.

Our friends Mark and Tara, and Michelle, Jimmy, and Ava also came to the block party at Abby and Aarons. Ava has gotten so big and is really a ham. She kept us all laughing. She has a similar hair thing going on as it also likes to stand straight up. Jimmy kept saying "get ready for the Flock of Seagulls". We all carried the kids
around in the baby bjorn carriers. And the strollers were all parked out front of the porch. Times have definitely changed for our group of friends!

It was nice to get more time with the babies. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Sunday night and then took off for home at about 9 am today. The drive back was significantly faster as we only spent 7 hours on the road. Again, Josh was fantastic. We are really really blessed to have a baby who seems to like to travel as well as a puppy dog!
