The Meidam Family: Labor Day Weekend

What better way to kick off Labor Day weekend than with Grant turning 22 months old! Crazy that in two short months we will be having another birthday party! WOW! Grant it talking up a storm these days. 2 and 3 word phrases and coming up with things that make us laugh. You may recall our "Quiz Question" posted a few weeks ago..."Rock, Up High"...this means MOON! In the last month he now gets how to make his little push cars go forward outside, continues to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE playing outside, likes to play with his golf clubs a ton, his baseball bat and sweep. I think the thing that tops the cake though are Daddy's tools. Grant's tools are OK - but Daddy's are the best! We had him weighed about a week before his 22 mo bday and he was 22 lbs 11 oz. Not sure if this gets him on the growth chart or not - but we're heading in the right direction.

For some reason he wanted the lemon from my water...

...this is what he thought of it...

...but he kept right on eating it!

Since Brian and I graduated college, Labor Day weekend has always been set aside as our "camping" weekend with college friends. For many years we tented it (including last year with a 10 mo old) however this year we upgraded! We rented a cabin in Sister Bay, Door County. It was beautiful. We arrived Friday night and left Monday morning. We relaxed, went for runs & long walks, to the beach (sort of), had lots of campfires, played games and caught up with our friends.

This year we were once again the only couple there with kids - however two more couples will be joining us on this adventure for next years festivities! We can't wait to meet those little ones in October and January. We will love having playmates!

Alayna didn't sleep so well...ok...she slept terrible! We think she is teething again. Since we have gotten home she is drooling a ton and is again putting everything in her mouth constantly (this is more than normal), etc Hopefully something pokes through quick!
