We got Samuel a new car seat, one of the convertible car seats that are bigger. He was filling up the little pumpkin seat and we were worried about driving such a long distance with him in something so small. We think he really like the new seat because he sits up higher and can look out the window.
The trip while we were in Michigan was really nice. Samuel met his cousin Jacob for the first time. (I will post some pictures once I download everything). It is really interesting how babies check out other babies. It was pretty cool to see them together. Jacob will be 11 months in a few days and the difference of 7 months is just amazing to me. They grow so quickly.
Samuel also met his great Aunt Irene and Uncle Butch. They drove from Canada to see Samuel. It was a very pleasant surprise. Oma and Opa were excited to have everyone under one roof.
Not only were all the humans excited but George had a wonderful time too. For those of you who know George, she isn't much of a REAL dog. She doesn't like to walk on wet grass, she walks around puddles in the street, she won't go outside when it is raining, and I could go on forever. Well when we go to Michigan she turns into a real lab. Oma and Opa have a big pond and we can't keep George out of it. She swam so much and retrieved sticks from the water. She loved it. We wore her out so much on Saturday that she could barely move Saturday night and then slept the entire time on the car ride home. Then she went upstairs around 7 when we got home and went to bed for the night.
Also, Samuel is now 4 months old. I can't believe it. He is almost able to sit up on his own. he can sit for about 2 seconds and then he falls forward. We are working on it though.
That's it for now. I am off to download pictures.

I had the same experience with Brody and it was only an 1 1/2 trip! I was by myself and it was pretty bad! I can't imagine that for 9 hours! It sounds like you had a good visit! Hope everything else is going good! Happy 4 month birthday, Samuel! :)
