Our first trip as a family

We are finally home in Boston after a 3-week trek across the south to see Ginger's family in Alabama and Greg's family in Texas.  Jude grew a lot while we were gone!  We will be posting about our trip over the next several days. 

Jude did great on the plane!  I thought people would see us coming from a mile away and be praying that our seats were not near theirs, but after several flights, as we were getting off the plane, the people around us would say, "I had no idea you had a baby there!"  When we were leaving Boston, the flight attendant brought back a drawing the pilot had done for Jude before the flight took off:

FIRST STOP:  Florence, Alabama

Jude's first taste of humidity - loving being bear naked most of the time :)

Grandpa and Grammy enjoying time with Jude

Aunt Laura, Uncle Rob, Ashley and Ben got to meet Jude for the first time on their trip to AL from Chicago!

Grammy helped Jude push up on his arms!

My good friend from growing up, Brett, got to come over and meet Jude.

We got to eat lots of barbecue, go for a run, spend time with our parents, and enjoy the humidity - i love my small town Alabama!
