Baby Ainsley 365: Trip to the Cities

We took our first big trip this week - a couple of days in the Twin Cities visiting Auntie Kim, Uncle Jerry, Cousin Quinn and a whole host of friends. It was lots of fun!

We started off the weekend with a long night Thursday. Ainsley has a new tent for trips and she isn't used to sleeping in it just yet. Thus Ainsley and Daddy needed time in the recliner on Friday morning.
We went to visit some friends from Beloved's former congregation. We met Dale and Carrie and their kids at a mutual friend's house for brunch and had a wonderful time, except for Ainsley's 30 minute crying jag due to much, much mucus. (Yuk!)

Then we stopped by the church where Beloved and Dale worked together while Beloved was in seminary. We saw Judy and the rest of the office staff, who were very taken with our little girl and very happy to meet her in person.

Later that afternoon, me & Ainsley got some quality time and decided to show the world our best smiles.

Saturday morning was a real treat - the "PKs" of Bethesda Lutheran Church in Eugene, OR met at Kim & Jerry's house to meet each other's children. That's Rachel & Liam, Beloved & Ainsley, and Auntie Kimmie & Cousin Quinn. We had lots of fun - until it was picture time, of course...

But Daddy & Ainsley were somewhat taken with Liam and his daddy, Wade - what a cutie!

Finally we headed home, but not before stopping at REI to pick up some running shoes for Daddy and Costco to pick up lots of stuff for everybody. With Daddy in the back seat playing with Ainsley, you know our ride is gonna be interesting - but apparently, Ainsley's just too cool for that:

And that's the story of our big weekend!
