Meggie wants to come!Opa and Baby O share a snack with MeggieKyle's Traverse City office

We recently rented a cottage in Traverse City and enjoyed the early fall weather. Unfortunately Kyle company forced him to work on his vacation time 8 hours a day all weekend long. Boo. This meant that I didn’t get all the naps I was hoping for and I had lots of time to hang out with the rest of my cottage companions. My mom (mor mor), dad (opa), sister Candie and her boyfriend Alex came with us to enjoy in a relaxing getaway. I think one of my favorite times was sitting around the campfire on the lake and laughing at the party going on across the lake. We were singing and dancing to their music and enjoying the roar of our private fire and delicious smores. We also enjoyed walking around downtown with my supreme stroller (thanks to GG), exploring mission point penninsula with the lighthouses and wineries, and who could take a trip without visiting the medi-center. Much to everyone elses enjoyment, I was completely without a voice and suffering from a blinding headache. You would think since I am a nurse and have had sinus infections in the past, that I would have recognized the symptoms sooner. Finally two weeks later I am starting to regain my voice again.. just don’t ask me to sing.

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted anything, so while my little companion is napping I’ll give both of my blog followers an update. Baby O’s new thing is sitting up. He’s actually getting pretty good at it. He can sit unassisted for minutes at a time and uses his arms at his sides and in front of him to balance himself. He does run into problems however when he turns to look at something behind him. He eat a wide variety of fun things now like rice, oatmeal, bananas, apples, sweet potato, and sweet peas. He really likes to help when it comes to eating and I give him his own spoon so he can “help.” His 6 month b-day is coming soon and I’m hoping to do something fun to commemorate the occasion, we’ll see!

I am infatuated with simplity: reading Unclutterer, Zen Habits, Paul Graham’s Stuff… purging my cubicle, cleaning out the garage, and maybe even picking up around our home office (the worst den of disorganization). We are paring down the amount of stuff we own. Nothing radical yet, but just a little here, a little there.
