Our Anniversary Trip

We took our anniversary trip a little early this year considering my due date. A couple in our church gave us their time share again for two nights. I was sooo excited just to get away (even if it was only 30 miles!:)) and do some relaxing. I wasn't all I'd hoped for...Caedmon isn't a baby anymore. We're discovering that last year, toting him around wherever we went still made for a good time. This year though...we'll have to figure out how to leave him behind next time! We had to deal with tantrums and crankiness. Oh the joys of parenthood!

We definitely had to add something new to our repertoire of things to do - parks! Caedmon can only take bookstores and coffee shops in small doses!:)

Eating at our favorite coffee shop/cafe in Petoskey -
it was a short meal - one of the times Caedmon didn't do so well...

Saturday in TC

Lighthouse at Mission Point

MIssion Point = a small peninsula jutting out of the "little finger" of Michigan

Caedmon's first time in a pool - he was somewhat indifferent to the whole experience.

Walking the docks on Grand Traverse Bay

We had a fun filled day. I'm pretty sure we wore Caedmon right out! He slept well that night!

Highlight from the Weekend - Friday

We celebrated year #4 last Thursday and Corey surprised me with a weekend in Traverse City! We had offers to watch Caedmon, but I won't be leaving him overnight till he's done nursing, and even then, who knows when...:) So this anniversary weekend included our son and that was fine! It was just fun to be away as a family, hanging out and enjoying "firsts" with Caedmon!
These past four years have been the best of my life and I look forward to many more! I've been abundantly blessed and truly couldn't ask for more!

Love this pic!:) Like father, like son!

(yeah, yeah, I know he's not suppposed to be watching TV)

Downtown TC - Caedmon loves the sound of water running

Chattin' while waiting to order our food at a cute pizza place downtown - delicious!

Waitress even found something for Caedmon! We had to watch him closely - even though they were hard as rock, he managed to bite pieces off!

Daddy is so much fun!:)
