Let’s see, been about 3 weeks since I last posted maybe? Updates then, the wedding in New York was nice. Desmond was invited to the dinner the night before and we all had fun, he got passed around a lot. We headed out a little early because he was getting fussy, probably from the day of traveling and such. He did great on the train up to NYC.

The next day we went to FAO with my sister and brother and brother’s girlfriend. It was fun, we got Desmond a hippo, so it can go berserk. The wedding was nice, my brother’s girlfriend babysat Desmond while the rest of us went to the wedding. My brother left really early because he was sick (so of course he went to our hotel room and hung out with Desmond and his girlfriend). We left after dinner because honestly we knew the groom, his family and my family, so it wasn’t all that interesting. We headed back to the hotel room and everything had gone well with baby boy. Oh yeah there was the whole leaving him with someone other then one of us for 4+ hour thing too that had us leaving early.

Memorial day we had brunch, which was nice, then Desmond and I left with my parents and one of my sister’s to head to Atlanta. Dan caught a train home. Desmond had his first plane ride in first class. I had to let him know that it was unlikely to ever happen again, so enjoy it now. He slept through the whole flight which worked well.

We then spent the week with my parents, we were going to go to the lake house, but my Grandfather ended up in the hospital, so we stayed in the city. It was nice though, and my Grandfather is fine. The flight back was fairly easy. Getting through the airport alone with Desmond was a bit “fun”, but it was doable. On the plane we ended up with the row to ourselves, since the people in the other two seats moved to the exit row, because the plane was empty. So he slept on their seats for the whole ride. Worked out wonderfully.

Not much happened last week, hung out at home mainly. We did get a Costco membership, but that is about the most exciting thing. Baby got a few more presents from people as well and a set of diapers we had ordered for him came in, bamboo diapers are so soft and nice, I’m in love. Other then that pretty quiet week.

My inlaws came up and visited on Saturday, which was nice. We gave them a nice picture of Desmond that we had done when my Mom was up, and then took some pictures of us with Desmond to send to India. Other then that not much went on this weekend other then general errands and such.

Think that is about it. Not much going on around here that don’t relate to the baby. My Mom is up this weekend and we’re heading down to Richmond so she can see her parents and Desmond can meet my Grandfather on that side. Plus he’ll get to meet most of the other relatives he hasn’t yet. Other then that we’re getting the house ready for Dan’s Bday party.
