Our weekend in Madison

A couple weeks ago Joe and I took Abby on her first mini vacation. We packed up what seemed to be her whole bedroom and headed out on the 5 hour road trip to Madison, WI. We packed a few sandwiches and snacks and planned a picnic on the way over to allow Abby some 'play time' outside and out of the restraints of her car seat. We were very impressed that she did so well in the car -- maybe because we've gotten her this new, much larger and comfy car seat!
We arrived late Saturday afternoon in Madison (the weekend was cut a little short due to her 6 month pictures in the morning; which can be seen here) where we hung out until the rest of Joe's family came back from their cave expedition. Sad we missed that - I LOVE caves. I was actually surprised to hear Uncle Doug went with...I've seen him around bats! (I guess I can't blame him, they are pretty icky).

Abby and Molly hung out for a bit and played - which was more like poking at each other. It was then that Joe and I noticed that Abby all of a sudden mastered sitting all by herself! And when I say "all of a sudden" I mean she wasn't doing it that morning at her pictures! Just goes to show how fast they grow and how much they learn and change in just a blink of an eye.





That evening Grandpa B treated us all to a yummy dinner. While at the restaurant, Abby amazed us yet again. Since she wasn't in her carrier that weekend due to her new car seat, she got to sit in a 'big girl' highchair for the first time! I remember looking at her sitting in the highchair all by herself and trying to hold back tears -- by little baby was no longer a baby. She no longer needs my help to sit and play. And now that I sit here and write this, I realize I never got a picture...

The next morning we got up and headed for the Zoo.  It was Abby's second trip to the Zoo in a matter of two weeks but she got to see a few new animals at least!  We finished the afternoon with a family picnic in the park before starting our road trip back home.







The weekend turned out great. It was short but at Abby's age, sometimes that's not a bad thing!

Oh Canada!

It's been WAY too long since I've posted last so I thought it was about time for me to share just a few of our pictures from our honeymoon.

Words could not begin to describe how majestic this part of the world is!
