I'm way way behind on stuff...

Hee...I should be working on A's halloween costume right now, but I've got to post a little something about our trip to Missouri.
Here we are waiting to leave the house:


Amedeo was the perfect angel on the airplane. Here's a preboarding pic:
We've started to notice that he is extremely well behaved out in public. When he gets home, he lets loose all of his pent up badness. That's our boy.

It was wonderful to see my brother, Morgan (stay-at-home-dad),

and his wife, Debbie (brilliant entomologist),


and their son, Finn (very good with sticks).


The first full day we were there, we went to a swimming pool...there's a playground in the water and a "river" to float around...from 11-12, it only costs $1 to enter!!


We went for a little hike off the Missouri river.


I didn't bring a stroller, so, Amedeo rode on me.


And, that was ok with him.


Grandma bought Amedeo and Finn matching outfits. She accidentally switched them, so at first, Debbie was trying to cram Finn into a 12 month size, when he wears the 24 month size. (Finn is 16 months old.)


Here we went to eat out at a restaurant. Finn is sleeping under the table, no, really!!! (He didn't want to miss anything, so he almost never took a nap unless we drove in the car.)



Amedeo played with all of Finn's toys.



We visited lots of different playgrounds. This one was HUGE! I only took pictures of a few of the areas...it was crazy.



Here is how Morgan fills up his day: He's a playground.


He's chasing Finn.


He's a comedian.
What a nice daddy! To give him a break, we got Finn a tire. (Since he never gets tired...hee hee hee.)


Now that we're back, Amedeo has cut another tooth on the top. Four teeth and counting. He's developed the annoying habit of grinding those four teeth together. I'm going to call the doc tomorrow and ask her if it's a bad thing...it certainly sounds bad.

Morgan, Debbie, and Finn: Thank you for taking such good care of us and for entertaining us!!!

What a fabulous trip! I LOVE the matching turtle outfits, and Amedeo's facial expressions are just priceless! I'm hoping that some of his angelic airplane behavior rubs off on Mr. B for our trip Tuesday!

Right, and by "turtle", I meant DINOSAUR!! (This is funny to me because I recently sent someone a gift of a onesie that had a chick on it and the recipient later told me how "precious the turtle onesie was.") Must be something about turtles...
