Weekend with the Grandparents

On Friday we went out to celebrate my brother's birthday, 11/11. Grandpa had a meeting at his old office cause they're recruiting him to help out on a project cause my dad has 'mad skillz'. My mom and I hung out in old Ellicott City.

On Saturday Grandpa got down to business immediately showing Jack how to climb over our 'Baby Gate' at the bottom of the basement stairs.

Matt had to work on Saturday so Gigi, Grandpa, Jack and I went for a walk around Wilde Lake. We found this tree with all its yellow leaves on the ground and thought, Photo Shoot!

We stopped at the park and went down the slide, went on the swings and rode the chipmunk. Jack, being the dare devil that he is, enjoyed the swing the most.

Matt and I went out to dinner for our anniversary on Saturday night. It was a complete success!

On Sunday we went to breakfast/lunch at Eggspectation. I had the most amazing muffin breakfast, the wait was long and our waiter was not great but the food was sooooo goooood.

Remember that?

Barely. I was a little sleep deprived, how tiny and snuggly my little man was.

History

Jack is excited to be able to witness history. We'll have to show him the headlines later... when he doesn't want to eat the newspaper.

Barrack Obama (and Joe Biden) was elected President in a landslide victory over John McCain (and scary, scary Sarah Palin). WOOT WOOT!!!

Check, Check, Check

Mommy and Daddy have been married for 2 years today. Lets review the special day: It was fall...

We went to our nine month check up.

Our big boy is 29 inches long and 21 lbs 2.5 oz. We got some shots and a hemoglobin test (hence the finger band aid).

CHECK.

We stopped in to play at Cady's and Jack got several kisses from Cady, none of which we caught on camera. Boo! But here's one of him trying to woo her!

P. S. Our friends Mike and Jen just found out they are having Baby Boy #2 and we're so excited for them! Andrew is going to have a little brother. How much fun are they going to have together?!

Pregnancy

This is Matt's attempt at understanding what it was like to be pregnant. Ha!

Tomorrow is election day and we're very excited to see how things turn out! ::fingers crossed::

Tomorrow is Jack's 9 month check up and we're also looking forward to learning how big, exactly, our big-boy is...

Tomorrow is our second wedding anniversary!

It's going to be a busy day!

Uncle Tom

Today Uncle Tom came to help us work on the basement. Jack enjoyed some bonding time and Matt and I enjoyed finishing the basement! (Except for the doors.)

Happy Birthday!

Jack is 9 months old today!

Happy Birthday, Big Boy!

Someone is looking for a hand out.
