Cousins!!!

On Tuesday Reed took his first road trip; Grandma, Mom, and Reed headed over to the coast to meet Miss Annaliese. Before the big trip though Reed got to meet another special someone on Monday, my childhood ballet teacher Julie.

I forgot my camera so had to make do with my cell phone - bummer!

It is amazing how much stuff you need to take with you for an overnight trip with a baby. Good thing Grandma has an SUV! Reed did great in the car, sleeping most of the way and entertaining himself with a rattle for the portions he was awake. After some road construction we finally made it to Grover Beach. Although it was a quickie trip it was so worth it. Besides meeting Annaliese and getting to see Kyle and Kari we also got to see one of my Mom's friends, Jill.

Reed loved playing with Jill Baby

Now on to the star of the week . . . Annaliese:
