Gearing Up

Tomorrow begins the Kennedy invasion! Josh, Teri, Cam and Sasha are stopping in Wisconsin for a brief visit on their way to Minnesota for the Hoemann Family Reunion. I believe this will be the first Hoemann reunion that Matt and I have missed since I became part of the family. We'll be sad not to be there with everyone, but Steve and I just aren't ready for a big road trip just yet. And I bet if you ask him, neither is Matt. Anyway, the Kennedy clan will all be here at the Compound tomorrow, then we'll be heading to Cedarburg on Thursday for more family time. I am really hoping that Steve decides to sleep better tonight than he did last night. It will make having visitors much more pleasurable.

What else has been happening? Steve had a big day on Monday. During one of the early morning diaper changes, I discovered that his stump (shriveled up umbilical cord) had fallen off. I couldn't believe it had happened so quickly! Also, after two days of saying I was going to give Steve a bath, I finally did. It was supposed to be a sponge bath, but since his stump fell off I decided to go for a regular bath. Boy, did he hate that! 

I didn't do the greatest job, but whatever. He's clean-ish and really, the only part of him that gets dirty regularly is his butt. 

A couple of teacher friends stopped by today, along with one of our neighbors. Apparently, we've got a pretty cute kid on our hands. The neighbor was even kind enough to offer baby-sitting services if we need to get out of the house or something. I'm still getting used to the kindness of people after living in Waldorf where people aren't always the nicest.

Matt has posted more pictures in the August album on Picasa. I'll leave you with a shot of our perfect little man. Click on the picture to take you to the web album.
