Bye Bye Baltimore

We've had a fun month in Baltimore. When we got here on April 13, Owen wasn't even quite a month old. Now he's already 7 1/2 weeks old and many pounds heavier. I don't need to tell you that we loved getting to spend so much time with him. We left town yesterday and now we're on our way to Warsaw. But before we left we had a whirlwind last week in Baltimore.

On Saturday we gathered at Mary and Andy's house to watch the Kinetic Sculpture Race, sponsored by the American Visionary Arts Museum.

The alligator was my favorite kinetic sculpture. All sculptures had to ride on dry land, in the water, and in mud. We only watched them on dry land though.

Peter and Jessa's college friend Ana - also a Harrison family friend - drove down from Pennsylvania and spent the day with us. We always enjoy seeing her.

The next day our niece and nephew, Kelsey and Kyle, drove up from DC and we got to catch up with them.

That same evening, Andy's parents came over and we spent some time outside while Owen slept in the fresh air.

Other highlights from the week were that Owen and I got to be twins when we realized we had the same fashion taste.

And it was great to keep getting to spend quiet weekday time with Mary and Owen.

I treasure the time we got to be with this sweet baby these past four weeks. I wish we could spend even more time here, but with three cousins that we want to be with just as much, we've become a traveling grandparent road show. Which is a pretty wonderful thing to get to be.
