Miles and his mommy and daddy are back in Owatonna tonight, and we miss all three of them. Miles was busy, busy, busy this weekend. Not only did he take his first shopping excursion to Sam's Club, he met lots of people on his tour of the Gustavus campus. Mary and Pat came to visit (Pat and Grandpa gave Miles political advice), Uncle Charlie stayed overnight on Saturday, and we celebrated Mommy Annie's birthday on Saturday evening. Auntie Aunchie was visiting sister Brit for part of the weekend, so she'll have to get in some extra Miles-holding time very soon.
Miles and his mommy share some quiet time together in this photo. Miles has on the cutest Snoopy print pants--very Charlie Brown! Great Uncle Mike would approve.
Miles had a minor explosion just as his daddy was served birthday dessert. This event rivaled Hannah's poop extravaganzas. Miles needed cleaning from tummy to toes, and let's just say that we're glad our washing machine works! Tanner is an efficient and effective poop removal expert.
Uncle Charlie and Miles relaxed together after the big clean-up. Baby Miles reminds me of Baby Charlie in this picture.
All good things must come to an end. Here is Miles, lost in sleep, practicing the right arm stretch just before leaving to visit Grandma Doreen and then return home to O-Town. When Hannah was not much older than Miles is now, Tanner was amused by her short arms that barely stretched above her head. Now he can enjoy the same characteristic with Miles.
We can barely wait for 10 more days until Miles and Hannah meet each other for the first time. Miles has been practicing holding his head up to impress Hannah, and she's been chewing on toy Menorah candles and crawling in leaves to toughen up for Minnesota weather. I wonder what she'll think of *s*n*o*w*?
Hurry up and get here, Hannah! Miles wants some tips from someone who's recently been through the early months of life.
Happy First Hanukkah, Hannah!
Is this the magic of Christmas, or what?

The picture of Hannah with the tree gives me goosebumps. Lovely.
Hey Miles- I know my Uncle Tanner (a.k.a. your daddy) thinks he's a good diaper changer, but do you think he'll be able to handle the next step... SOLID FOODS?! Talk about spectacular poops!!!! :-)
