Live from the mitten state

We survived our first long car ride with Asher -- four hours! He was a little cranky throughout the drive. We stopped once for a diaper change and some squirmy time out of his car seat but overall it was a good drive. We've had a great time relaxing with family and showing Asher off to lots of people. So far, Asher has met all of his great aunts and uncles and great grandma. He got to meet my cousin's newborn baby (just 6 days old). Asher was very excited to meet someone that he was actually bigger than! He has also met some of my friends and will meet a few more before our trip is over.

My brother and sister-in-law made it here today from their home in Kalamazoo. They are expecting their first baby in just four short weeks. Asher is very excited to meet his cousin (a little girl... yay for pink!).

Will will be headed back to Chicago tomorrow. His 2-week long paternity leave is coming to a close and he will return back to work on Monday. He will be going to Wisconsin Tues. night and coming home on Wednesday. Asher and I will stay here in Michigan until Tuesday and then we are headed back to the big city.

Oh! And one major change in our lives -- we are no longer blogging from our rusty old PC. Say hello to our new Mac! She's super cute (I just decided "it" is a "she"). Here is a family photo that we took on the new computer.
