Labor Day Weekend (week 35)

After a busy work week getting paperwork for the house passed around and getting Dan registered for the Gordon program, we headed up to NH. Three reasons for the trip: Grandma Judy's birthday, friends Zander and Brittany's wedding reception, and a Harjes family baby shower. Well, actually it was more like an Ibey family baby shower, as the guests consisted of Judy's side of the family.

The wedding reception was very fun. Brittany and Zander eloped in California a few weeks ago, and celebrated with a Vermont pig roast. Fun to see that crew again, especially now that Eric, Andrea, and baby Ayela are East Coasters again.

The baby shower was very low key and nice. Just Dan's NH based family, plus his cousin Pat up from NYC. Judy made a delicious meal of chicken kebabs and salad. We got one of those fun Beaba Babycookers for making our own baby food, a breast pump (much needed!!), and some great baby books that Dan's cousin's children picked out.

We returned Sunday night to spend Labor Day Monday at home. We had a great day hanging out with Grace, Tony, Ian, Dave, and even Derek and Katie on a stop from Maine back to California. After yummy lunch at Grace and Tony's we went to a BTT BBQ at Shaun's apartment in Boston. A good day all around!
