Findlay

This weekend we headed to Findlay for a mini family get-together. My cousin (Ross) and his fiancee( Janelle) drove 9 hours from Allentown, Pa.; my cousin ( Abbey) drove 3 hours from Youngstown, Ohio; my parents and grandparents drove 6 hours from home; and Matt, Landon and I drove 2 hours. We all stayed at my Uncle Roger and Aunt Susie's house and it was so much fun. We hang out, caught up with each other, cheered on the Illini in football, basketball and volleyball, played games, laughed a lot and had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner! Landon was great, as always, and even took a 4-hour nap in his pack-n-play yesterday. We were worried that he wouldn't sleep last night, but he slept nine hours and was great! It was great to see family and we can't wait to see more family in just 9 short days when we head home for Thanksgiving! Thanks for a great weekend everyone!

Ross and Janelle left before we remembered to take a family picture, so here is a pic of the two of them

Have a great week!

Stronger

Landon will be 20 months old tomorrow! He is getting so big. He has started talking a lot more, as well as repeating after us a lot. Landon still LOVES anything Sesame Street, books, music, singing and dancing, taking a bath, playing with our iphones, playing instruments and doing puzzles. He continues to amaze us daily and we are so blessed to have such a sweet little boy! We are heading to Findlay, Ohio this weekend to hang out with family and we are really excited. We will update the blog after that. Enjoy the new pics and the video!

About to be tickled

Showing me how strong he is

This is a video of Landon watching his favorite song from Sesame Street. We have been watching this nonstop on our phones and computer for a month or so, and we finally saw it on a new episode of Sesame Street this week. He loves to flex, say "stronger" and air drum like they do in the video. Enjoy!
