Labor Day

We just returned from our annual Labor Day trip to Batsonland in Michigan where we enjoyed yet another fantastic family vacation. The festivities included the usual games, huge meals, pool-time, shopping, and sports. But this year included some Lake Michigan surfing and sailing as well as plenty of Baby Michael time! Lots of family got to meet Michael for the first time: Uncle Phil, Aunt Nim, great-Aunt Kim and great-Uncle Andrew as well as all the second cousins - Alex, Scott, Jake, Joey, and Eric, as well as the occasional girlfriend. Jake and Eric were particularly sweet with the baby, playing with him and watching him when I stepped out. And you can ask Stephen - Michael definitely said Mama this weekend (whether or not it was on purpose is completely irrelevant!).

And the latest precious picture of our little guy:
