Our friends Blair and Jim came to visit from Fort Collins, CO, this weekend. Blair lived in NJ with us and with Matt and Mo, and she and Jim wanted to meet/spend some time with our kidlets. Saturday we went out on the Mississippi River in Matt and Mo's boat (how spoiled are we that even when we don't go to Mattoon, we still get boat time?!), and Sunday we hit the zoo and spent a little time in Matt and Mo's neighborhood pool. More pics tomorrow.
Cooper, who is almost 3, really likes "baby Thomas." He gives Thomas toys to play with, wants to sit by him and touch him, and occasionally gives him hugs. Today he even offered Thomas his treasured Cardinals blanket! He's really gentle with Thomas, but after he finished this hug, the momentum of letting go sent Thomas over backward!

Thomas chills on the sandbar with Ed. Matt and Mo's boat is in the background. We were one of about 50 boats anchored to this sandbar. 
Blair, Molly, and Mo on the beach, having snacks.
Thomas really seemed to enjoy the boat ride--on the way home, it was nearing sunset, and the temperature had cooled down. We were sitting in the front and the wind was blowing through T's hair.
