Last night I drove out to Gaines, MI to spend the night with my friends Todd and Monica. I’ve spent many a pre-Thanksgiving night with my college friends, but before we headed out to the bar to enjoy a few cocktails I got to spend some quality time with the kids.
Ethan is now now 17 months old and he’s cruising around like a mad man. He loves to read books and will be talking soon.
Here’s a picture of him chillin’ in his sisters exersauser.
It was also my first opportunity to meet Addison, who was born on Aug 14th. I had seen pictures, but it’s never the same. She’s a beautiful baby who is extremely mild mannered, plus she doesn’t like to lay down. Instead, if she’s awake she wants to see what’s going on.
After hanging out with the kiddies, Brian and Amy showed up and then Shannon arrived shortly after. We all piled into the car and headed down to the Gaines Bar which was recently purchased by Rose and Alden - Todd’s Dad and wife. We spent a majority of the night at the bar in Gaines.
Monica wanted to head into Durand and see what was going on at the 206, so we drove over there to find the bar pack. We did a little dancing and a little more drinking. Okay it was more than just a little, but it was fun to hang out two of my favorite friends in the whole world.
