We made what will probably be my last trip for a while (til after the baby comes)...a long drive to Michigan in the new minivan. Arlo did great, and has been having a great time up North enjoying the lake, the beach, hikes in the woods, running around our property, mowing the lawn, and hanging out with Grammy and "Pa-ter" and "Puppy Tooper" (Cooper). He and Sam stayed on a few days longer after I came back to DC for work...this pic is from Central Lake at the little playground and beach there. Yesterday Sam and Arlo encountered a guy with a monkey (really!), this morning it was ducks. It's a veritable zoo!
Later this week, Arlo and Sam will head down to Salem, OH, to visit with Arlo's grandparents there, maybe take in a little football, play with more puppies (Chloe and Sophie), and hopefully visit with Arlo's cousins a bit too.
I know how much fun they are having on this trip (Arlo talks says "go Ohio" all the time to remind us that he'd like to get outta town) but it's a tad lonely too without my boys around. On the bright side, I get to sleep, catch up on Top Chef, and work late without disrupting our normal schedule. I have a checkup with the midwives on Friday and I think this starts the visits every two weeks - so it's kind of like the home stretch. 2 months to go til our family gets a little bigger!
