Week 7 - Three amigos

Last week was a busy one!  Dad was away on business (we missed him terribly), but he left us with time to practice being the three amigos – John, Cooper, and Mama. John experienced his first walk with the dog; John in the Ergo, and Cooper on a leash. We developed a great morning routine that involved a quick stop at Drip while Cooper was tied to the tree outside. (The people at Drip now know us by name.) We rounded out our morning routine with a stroll around town. (I’m sure our trio is quite a sight for passers-by.) We love our small little town of Madison – everything we need is right at our fingertips! By Saturday, we were thrilled to welcome home our fourth, and we filled our weekend with some much more complete family-style strolls.

We had new (and old!) visitors this week. Great Aunt Peggy, Great Aunt Maryanne, and Great Uncle Fred came from South Jersey, with Mema, to celebrate Columbus Day and meet John. Aunt Cathy also visited to keep us company and is looking beautiful as she progresses through her pregnancy with ease. Finally, Sandra and Rachel (who is also looking like a beautiful soon-to-be mama), were back to kick-it with John and Mama. We loved having each and every one of you; hurry back soon!

John is continuing to practice, “levántate” (get up!), and “siéntate” (sit down!), and we were finally able to get some photos of him in action for all you non-believers.

We bid Dad farewell again (with more confidence this time) on Wednesday for his business trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan – our old stomping grounds! So a shout out to Ann Arbor from John and Mama – we miss you and our time there.

Some photos from the week:

Welcome home, Dad!
