Vacation, Part I

I did actually get a little time to go through the pictures tonight and am starting to catalog our trip. We began by flying into Pittsburgh and spending a few days there. We got to have dinner with our friends Sarah and Ross, who just had their first baby Samuel a couple of months ago, and our friends Dan and Martina, who are expecting their first baby in December. We hope we didn't dampen their enthusiasm with our crazy boys! Just a cute picture of Micah, trying on my sunglasses. Dan and Martina hang with Micah. Sarah and Sam, who had a crying match with Liam while we were there. We're not sure who won, but we know who lost! :) We spent Labor Day weekend at the Johnson family cottage. Going there and getting the chance to reconnect with some of our friends was the main impetus for the whole trip north. The cottage is within a short walking distance to the lake. Here's Chad and Katie's son Caleb all life-jacketed up for a boat ride. Micah and Thomas trying to high five each other. Chad's dad Clay let Micah "steer" the boat. After this time out on the boat, Micah kept asking to go back to the "big boat". We think he was a little power hungry. Pointing out other boats on the lake. "Boat" was his favorite word that weekend, I think. More to come!
