Happy Fall Y'all!

Fall has definitely arrived in Michigan. This is my favorite time of year. It's just beautiful!! And this year, it's quite chilly...but that's the way I like it and one of the reasons I moved to Michigan nearly 10 years ago! (*WOW!*)

We had a great weekend, spending a lot of time with our BFFs, Sally & Audrey. The boys went up north, so it was just us girls. Yesterday, when the boys got home, we all went to the Clawson Fall Fest. It was nice, but BRRRR was it cold! Remi was all bundled up, but I still thought it was still a little too cold for my baby, so we stayed for a bit and went back home.

Here are some pics from the weekend. We have a busy week with playdates, parent group and a trip to the cider mill planned. We hope everyone has a great week!

BFFs?


Audrey helped Sally give Remi her bottle...such a big girl!

Remi Visits Sweet Home Alabama

We took our first family vacation to visit family and friends in Alabama. We left on Remi's 5 month b-day, Friday, Sept. 25 and returned one week later on Saturday, Oct. 3. We drove all night both ways and she did great! She slept every bit of the 11 hour drive, until we exited the interstate at our final destinations. We were so proud!!! She's a born traveler. We were very busy, visiting family and friends every single minute. One day we were gone from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.! Remi met her great-grandparents - Nannie & Great Grandmaw and her great-Aunt Barbara. My brother and his family came in from Charlotte and my sister and her family were there most of the time, from B'ham. We had a great visit! We were sad to go, but Buck missed us at home...so we had to go! We are looking forward to having family visit Michigan in December :) Here are some pics from the trip.

Remi & Wilson Roberts. I would say that Remi wore orange & blue at least 50% of the trip! Family Photo during the AU game All 5 grandkids together at last! Granny & D-daddy were in HEAVEN! We took a day trip to Little River Canyon National Preserve in dad's motorhome, just one of the many beautiful sites Alabama has to offer! Dad & Remi stop to enjoy the view of the beautiful river down below. Remi and Sammy Huey - their mommy's have known each other since the 2nd grade! We even painted pottery with Alison & Wilson, Chan, Vannah, Brandy & Sammy. Here we are with Alison & Wilson Roberts. Great-Grandmaw Hester & Remi 4 Generations - Granny, Krista, Remi & Nannie
We were even lucky enough to see Vannah (12-year old neice) dance at the HTMS football game!!
This was too cute not to share! Remi also met her "uncle" Max. She LOVES dogs...just thinks they are HA-larious!!

5 Months Old

Remi Roo is growing like a weed and changing so much every single day.


Here are the stats:
*Estimate of weight - ~17-18 lbs. (we don't go back to dr. until end of October)
*2 bottom teeth are IN!
*Eating baby food & cereal in the morning and at night
*Still HATES naps...ready for this to change! When she does nap...30 minutes TOPS! (As I write this...she's SCREAMING :( in her crib! I HATE this "cry out" method, but it's the only way she'll nap. It's that or shop, and we know there's no $ for that!)
*Almost rolling over, but not all the way yet
*LOVES Buck...her eyes follow him everywhere! She now laughs at him when he plays fetch with us.
*Smiling and laughing a TON!
*Sleeping through the night - 7:30 p.m. - 7 a.m.
*Starting to play with toys...it's about to get really fun, not that it hasnt' been already ;)



We're headed to Dixie for vacation tonight. Buck is staying here to guard the house...with our nephew/dogsitter of course. We'll miss him, but can't wait for Remi to meet all the family and friends down south! Pray that we drive safely...if you know me at all, you know that freeways scare me to death!! Visit back soon for pics!
