Family in town (a few weeks ago)

Finding time to blog just hasn't been high on my priority list these days and as I type this very sentence I have a sleeping baby in my left arm and I'm pecking along the keyboard with my right hand, and did I mention I'm a lefty. It's really become quiet entertaining how one adjusts to a new baby at home but it's all so very worth it. I wouldn't trade any of this for the world. Now on to the exciting stuff...

Sophie's been a busy little bee these past few weeks as her Aunt Leslie came for a nice long weekend visit followed by Nana & Papa's week long stay. I think she enjoyed the company, I know I sure did.

After a nice walk through Heritage Park in Canton we stopped at this gazebo for some pictures.

Second go at the play mat, first time with no tears.
We cheered as though she took her first step.
Is this where I insert #superproudparents, #watchoutwhenshedoestakethatfirststep

Looking good Dad. 

Sophie was wide awake the other evening so we couldn't resist getting in a few selfies

Yay! my parents came to visit and were a huge help.
Thanks Nana & Papa

First visit to the Detroit Zoo.
We participated in the Walk for Kids with Rainbow Connection,
an organization that grants wishes to kids with life threatening illnesses.

The weather was perfect, nice and cool in the morning
and warmed right up by the time we were ready to leave.
