A Perfect Nebraska Weekend

We had a busy weekend! Hanging with Dad on the couch at home, our last sand volleyball game for the season (see you next year, O'Leaver's!), a family get-together at my parents' house, and a surprise 60th birthday party for our friend Laura's mother.

Yea for late summer fun!

Dave Takes on Mt. Fuji...

...or at least he attempted to tackle some of the colorful drinks at Omaha's Mt. Fuji Inn on Friday night. A new baby requires letting loose sometimes, right?! Our friends, Matt and Taylor, joined us for the night out (and Liam slept peacefully in his car seat next to the table).

I had to throw this picture into this post - SO precious!

First Trip to KU

Liam made his first trip out of the state of Nebraska this past weekend! We decided that it would be in everyone's best interest if his first road trip was on the shorter side, so the 3.5 hours it takes to get to Lawrence, Kansas, from Omaha sounded perfect.

We stayed with our good friends Tim and Kyly; they have an adorable little boy named Anderson that was born in late November 2008 - I'm sure he and Liam will be partners in crime down the road! We also got to have lunch on Saturday at Free State with friends from Kansas City - Aaron, Megan and their cute little guy, Danny (born in February 2009). After lunch, we all walked down Jayhawk Boulevard with our strollers and took advantage of some photo ops:

We also attended the retirement Mass and BBQ for Monsignor Vince Krische at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center - it was nice to be able to participate in the festivities to celebrate Krische's achievements and wish him well in his retirement.

One Month Old Today!

Happy one month, Liam! At the suggestion of a friend, we'll be taking a picture of Liam on the 3rd of each month leading up to his one-year birthday along with a sign noting how many months old he is. Here's the first month montage!

A "wink" and some drool

Just chillin'

Yes, he fell over and woke up immediately after this one was snapped.
