Week 8 Potpourri

Lots of random stuff going on in the Team Anders world over the past week, wow! As you all know, Easton started daycare last Monday at the Hanscom CDC. He adjusted wonderfully and his teachers have nothing but great things to say about him so I've chalked that up to a successful first week. In the category of milestones, Easton knocked out an 8-hour stretch of sleep last Wednesday night...slept just long enough to wake up and say goodbye to Jace as he headed home to Minnesota for Mike Okey and Blair Hawkinson's wedding. Of course, that's yet to be repeated though ;)

Mike & Blair...always havin' fun!
Congrats Mr. & Mrs :)

Okey is one of Jace's best friends from back home and one of the first people I met when Jace and I first got together (and was also present during one of my most embarrassing moments ever -- sorry, Albion Ridge GC). I was pretty bummed that I couldn't be there to celebrate with everyone but thought it was just a bit early to put little man on an airplane...too bad :(  Anyway, Jace also got to see his family and many of his good friends again.  He also got to spend an early Father's Day at Target Field watching the Twins with Dean...not a bad gift for either one of them! As I do with every trip Jace goes on, I shove the camera in his face and ask him to take pictures...this time he actually listened! Here are some pictures from the festivities. The full album can be seen on Jace's Facebook page.

Married 28 May 11

While Jace was away Easton, Rae and I held down the fort here in Reading. We did our traditional Saturday morning breakfast with Pete & Crystal then hit up Old Navy (which was the highlight of Easton's weekend I'm sure). After that outing I was so sick of dealing with the rain that we hunkered down at The Commons. We had a few visitors swing by on Saturday and Sunday which was so much fun and definitely helped to pass the time w/out Jace! Amber and Michelle, two Lts who live in our apartment complex, and a friend from work stopped by to play with Easton (and Rae, too). We had fun just hanging out, watching TV and catching up :) 

Thanks, Cousin Kel Kel for my new blanket!

Spent lots of time throwin' that frog w/Rae

Hi Amber...I think I like you :)

Yep, I really do.

Arts & crafts time :)

Lastly, I've noticed that Easton's really starting to focus on and follow moving objects. His favorite things to watch are the sheep and stars hanging from his swing mobile. He's also started to make some adorable little cooing noises so I tried to capture both in this video. 

Wishing you all a fabulous week!!! Easton turns 2 months on Thursday so we'll have more pictures then :)
