Gran and Pops visited us the week before Esther was born. Austin was delighted, of course. They brought some great toys for our backyard (Pops is trying to make Austin into a little golfer), played outside tirelessly with our little bundle of energy, and read the train book (pictured below) as many times as requested. A good time was had by all.
The week before that, Zach and I took Austin to Idlewild, a local amusement park that claims to be the #2 park for children. Not an empty claim; there is a huge area of rides just for little ones and a "Storybook Forest" area that brings dozens of nursery rhymes to life. I was a little nervous before we put Austin on his first ride: would the round-and-round motion make him sick? would he wait for the attendant to undo his straps and lift him off? But my worries were groundless. Austin loved the rides and was happy to let all sorts of strangers (park employees) help him get on and off of them. :)
One more pic...we got out Esther's carseat a few days before she came home from the hospital. It sat around the house until needed. It makes a great recliner, did you know?

Courtney, you are absolutely right! That was a very fun week! Can't believe that we just missed Esther's arrival. Austin is very cute, smart and full of fun!
