We are going to the Wilderness

Our weekend was so much fun. I had lots of company and I think I got to spend time with everyone who came to see me.

We went to dinner with Great Aunt Doreen and Aunt Caroline on Friday night. They had Italian and I had a bottle. It was pretty good. My cousin Carter was there. He got sad right before dinner came so he got to go outside with Uncle Aaron. My mommy tried to help but Carter was really sad. He got a little better toward the end of the meal but they still had to leave a little early.

On Saturday my Bubbe's friends had a party for Carter and I. It was lots of fun. The noise in the party room was at a roar, just the way I like it. Perfect for a nice long nap. I was a good baby throughout the whole shower. My mom let my Aunt's Cari and Catie hold me first. Aunt Catie had been waiting a long time to hold me. Some people at my party were baby hogs and they didn't want to pass me around but mommy came and told people to take turns. I got a lot of really nice presents. I love my new stroller and my swing. I like to look at myself in my swing mirror as I glide past the birds and leaves that hang from above me. I got lots of really good books at my party too. My mom and dad have been reading to me. I love books and apparently so does my big brother Fred. He ate my Brown Bear, Brown Bear book that my mom bought me.

On Saturday night I spent time with my cousins Abbi and Mollie. My other cousin Ashley was already asleep. I had to stay up really late so everyone could hold me. Aunt Cari even got to feed me and she did such a good job. I didn't barf on her like I did on my Aunt Robyn last Friday. Sorry Aunt Robyn about that, I guess I need a new party trick.

On Sunday I went to breakfast with my whole family. Aunt Caroline and Great Aunt Doreen had to drive back to Chicago but not before taking LOTS of pictures of me and of Carter too. My dad promised to send the pictures to Aunt Caroline but we have been to busy packing for our trip.

Tomorrow we are going on a long drive to the Wisconsin Dells. We are going with lots of people and I hope we have lots of fun. I want to learn how to swim in the pool. My mom hopes I am good in the car. I don't know how it is possible for me to be bad when she has packed enough gear for ten armies to travel. My mom is crazy! We are sharing a room with Carter. I hope he cries a lot so I get a good night sleep. I like a lot of noise.

I am going to go take a nap. I hope all my aunts, uncles, cousins, bubbe, zayde, nana, papa and all my friends are having a good week.

Dear Izzie,
Your party was a lot of fun, but let's be honest--every moment spent with you is a party...unless you're throwing up on Aunt Robyn (or thinking about throwing up on me). I had so much fun with you and Carter this weekend, and I can't wait to see you next.

Have fun in the Dells. Remind Mommy and Aunt Laura that you and Carter need lots of sunblock, because once Aunt Caroline got a wicked sunburn in the Dells, and she would not wish that pain on her worst enemy, and certainly not on her darling niece and nephew.

Keep eating your fat formula...I want to see some polkes soon!

Love always,
Aunt Caroline

It's alright Izzie... that you barfed on me the other day. I know you that you have a hard time with your fat formula sometimes and I have a ton of clothes... anyway. Uncle Jason and I are regretting that we decided to not go with you guys to the Dells. But someone has to stay in town and help Bubbe and Zayde take care of your Big Furry Brothers. We can't wait to hear all about your first swimming lessons and trip. Don't forget to tell your Dad and mom to take lots of pictures.

Love you,

Uncle Jason & Aunt Robyn
