Visits before Thanksgiving

Since we are visiting my family for Thanksgiving, we went around to see everyone in the Northern Indiana area before we left for vacation. This included going to see Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dave (who will be leaving for sunny Florida after Thanksgiving, jealous) and Grandma Bertie.

We had great visits with everybody. Dave absolutely loves playing with the matchbox cars and tractor at Grandma Bertie's and then he goes over to his other grandparents and plays with blocks and a big fire truck. Dave thinks this arrangement is quite awesome.

Here he is having fun with great-grandpa Dave.








We then made a trip over to Cottage 6 (we work in Cottage 1) to visit with the Lauers. They had been very excited to give Dave his birthday presents. I think his favorite present was the fork and spoon set that have wheels that work on the ends. Kind of hard to visualize, but they are awesome and he insists to use them at every meal!




Dave with the Lauers (Mike and Jean Ann). I get stuck in a habit of referring to everyone by their last names because of our job.






Then Josh's parents came by on Friday to hang out with Dave a little since they won't be seeing him for a week. We'll be celebrating his birthday with them when we come back next Sunday.

That's it as far as visiting goes. Here's a couple random pictures of Dave in his sock hat.


























And playing peak-a-boo with his slide.
