Another Weekend at the Lake

We spent a relaxing weekend at Mattoon with Di and Matt, Alli her dog Bella, and a brief appearance by Kelly and Dustin. The weather was cloudy but still plenty humid! We did some skiing, some floating, and alot of lazing around and watching Thomas and HGTV. (We usually watch Sportscenter, but Ed was outvoted for most of this weekend. I was especially happy about that when the NASCAR race was on.) Thanks for coming, everyone!

Di and Matt got Thomas this little whale sweatsuit when he was born. He's now grown into it, and we love the whale on the butt! So cute, and blue is defnitely his color...goes with those big eyes.

Thomas' new thing is eyeing up people's drinks...either cups or bottles. While he was hanging with Aunt Alli, he couldn't take his eyes off her Woodchuck. Being a good aunt, she didn't let him do anything more than suck the bottle. 

When Thomas met Bella back in May, he wasn't real interested. Now, 6 weeks later, Bella makes him giggle. She sat fairly patiently while he petted her. 

And kept coming over for more, and a few toe licks!

This is what happens when we leave Thomas sitting up by himself on the futon. Not a skill he's mastered quite yet!

Floating in the lake...nice.
