Road Trip with Mr. Trooper

I joined Jacob and Kate on a tri-state trip to see family and friends...Jacob's first trip out of his home state, traveling to Iowa (to the happiest place on Earth) to pick up Gramps. Then we traveled to Minneapolis, picking up Kelly at the airport on our way to Anne's bridal shower!  He behaved perfectly.  Seriously. And was so dang cute I could hardly focus on anything else! Tomorrow he heads for home, and I'm missing him already!

My 8 weeks visit!

He's got my heart

Look at those eyes!

Matt put him to sleep :)

I don't think he wanted the party to end -
Notice the blue bandaid on his thigh from his 8 week shots

Outside on a blanket - even in the shade it is bright for baby eyes

You're So Fun

This is what fun looks like - the honor and privilege of watching this incredible gift from God grow and change, from a front row:
