A Week in Missouri

After spending a super fun weekend in Zionsville with MooMoo (Grandma Hacker) and Auntie Carol, Henry and I hitched a ride back to Bolivar on Sunday afternoon and Tim followed on Tuesday. The week with MooMoo and Grandpa Hacker was such a treat. Henry was a very good boy, sleeping soundly through the nights in my old crib. We got to spend lots of time with the whole family, inlcuding great grandparents. On Thursday Tim and I got to float the river with Scott, Adrienne, Jim and Sheila while Henry stayed with Grandpa and MooMoo. The sun was hot, the water cool and the river high making for a perfect float. While we were on the river, Grandpa and MooMoo were up to no good with Henry...when we got back home, Henry had a new friend - the pacifier. I will admit that it calms him when he gets tired and fussy...which doesn't happen very often, of course ;-). We had lots of fun taking rides on Grandpa's new red motorbike - the Red Rocket. He rides it to work everyday, getting 117 miles per gallon of gasoline! Auntie Adrienne, the photographer in the family (www.amaples.com) got to meet Henry for the very first time on Wednesday, and photographed him! We are so excited to see what she got, and will post the pics when we get them. Yay! Thanks, Adrienne! We had a wonderful vacation, and really enjoyed seeing everyone, and eating our way deliciously through the week. Now we are home catching up, looking forward to tomorrow.
