"You have a baby ... in a bar!"

Thanks for letting me play, Sarah!

Bouncy, bouncy

Interesting changing table, Dad!

I love this face ... our little "Snugglesaurus!"

The great line above from the movie Sweet Home Alabama came to mind when Robert and I took Jack to meet some friends for lunch this past Sunday. Robert and I are very blessed to have a wonderful group of friends here in Greensboro. We get together often to celebrate life's great moments, but we also like to get together regularly for no good reason at all other than to just catch up! One activity that has become a staple in our network of friends is "Sunday Fun Day." Many of our friends like to meet up at The Speakeasy Tavern on Sunday afternoons to have lunch, watch football, and play Baggo. And, now that several of us have babies and now that smoking is no longer permitted in restaurants and bars in the state of NC (thank goodness!), our friends sometimes take their little ones too! Now, I hope we don't come across as bad parents for taking our kid to a bar and grill (it's more like a "family" sports bar by day), but Jack seems to really love it there. (And, besides, it's not like we took him to the bar at 10pm ... we just took him for a quick lunch!)

Jack seemed to love "Sunday Fun Day" as much as we do! We think it's because he loves being around people so much. "Aunt" Amber couldn't get enough of him and even fed him a bottle for us! Also joining us was our friend Michelle Pahl from grad school at UNC, who was passing through town after visiting with friends and family in Winston-Salem. It was wonderful to see Michelle and catch up after not seeing her since I was about 5 months pregnant. We're so glad she finally got to meet Jack! Thanks for coming, Michelle!

Later Sunday, we joined our friends at Sarah and Robert Bain's house for a cookout and to watch the Giants vs. Bears game. They have a little boy, Carson, who is 9 months old. We decided to see if Jack would like Carson's exersaucer, and he LOVED it! Guess we'll be having to get ours out of its box earlier than we expected!

So, Jack had a fun-filled weekend visiting friends and meeting new people. We hope you enjoy the above photos from "Sunday Fun Day!"
