Reid's big weekend

We've been lucky because the last few weeks have been filled with fun, friends and family.  So even though we are exhausted (and kind of tired of vacuuming), at least we can say that we got quality time with those closest to us.

But before we get to all that fun, I wanted to post a video of our newest cruiser.  That's right, once Reid figured out how much fun he could have moving around, he quickly ditched the army crawl for a real crawl, which led to him pulling himself up and eventually cruising around... and all within a matter of a couple weeks.




To start off the fun with friends, we got together with the Rogers in City Park.  It was an absolutely fabulous setting (good enough for someone to have a wedding) and a perfect place for the boys to run around.

Aww!

Next up was a great Labor Day weekend that included a visit from my friend Tony and then a party at the Kucera's ranch.  The highlight had to be a trip down to the pond for some rock throwing.

And finally, the following weekend was Reid's baptism where both of our parents and Shannon's Grandma made it out to participate in the event.  It was the first time our parents have been able to hang out together since our wedding.  It included lots of laughs, eating great food, and a night out for Shannon and me (Shannon's birthday gift of a Rascal Flatts concert).

And the fun kept on going this weekend as my younger sister and her family visited us (more on that later).  Also, I prepare to head to Dallas for work soon, so stay tuned.
