The Jack and Edie Show

With Kevin out of town (again), Jack and I hit the road to catch up with some friends in Atlanta. We went to stay with Jennifer, a college friend, Alex, her husband, and Edie, their adorable daughter. It was our first time meeting Edie and we were not disappointed. She is adorable and smiley and we are so happy we finally got to spend time with her.

With two little ones running around, we kept quite busy without really doing too much. We spent quite a bit of time in a couple of pools: the community pool in Jennifer's parent's neighborhood and the little backyard pool.

When we prepared the bath tub for the kids, we filled both the baby tub (for Edie) and the regular tub (for Jack). After a few minutes of interacting and playing, Jack decided they weren't quite close enough so he climbed into Edie's tub with her.

On Saturday we tried to do a photo shoot of the kids in matching outfits. We managed two costume changes before totally giving up: coordinating striped one pieces and matching Mount Holyoke t-shirts. Jack was not cooperative and wanted nothing to do with sitting still, but at one point he was feeling very affectionate towards Edie.

Here are a few highlights from a slightly more successful photo shoot after the pool on Friday.

Jack's other new best friend after the weekend is Maggie the dog. She is the sweetest, most relaxed dog. Thank goodness, because Jack was all over her. He seriously layed on her, pulled her tail, stepped on her, hugged her and she just took it. Between his new friend baby "E-ie" and Maggie the "daw!", Jack was in heaven in Atlanta.
