August Trace: Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day weekend! Grandma and Grandpa Ed came up on Saturday and stayed till Monday afternoon. Aunt Kristen stayed with us too! So there were a lot of people to hold the baby boy... Sunday we packed a picnic and went to a local winery. I had never been before but read an article about it recently. They have wine tastings and you can purchase the wine to drink on the property (and take home). They have a lot of covered areas to picnic and relax. There were a lot of people there. It was up on a hill so we had a great breeze and really enjoyed relaxing on the patio. Trace was great of course... I didn't get any scenic shots but it was a really pretty place and its only about 30 minutes from our house. Daddy, Trace and I will have to go back. They had live music outside which they have Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/ Here is a link for you locals...
Monday we went downtown Franklin (Franklin is a small town near us with a really cute downtown that has several stores and restaurants) and walked around and then over to the Factory at Franklin (an old factory that has been turned into a mall). We had lunch downtown at Puckets Grocery... tasty! Then it was time for everyone to go home. Thank you Grandpa Ed for getting a few things done around the house. I got a plant to hang on my new hook out front! :)
This past weekend we had our neighbors over for a cookout. Greg and Carla... I didn't get a picture with them... Bad mommy! Aunt Kristen came over too!
Thursday we are headed to Delaware to see Trace's other Grandparents. Mom-mom and Pop-pop. As well as Trace's Aunt Trista and Uncle Lee and his cousins Tyler and Amber.
We will fly into Baltimore and Pop-pop is picking us up. Stay tuned... for details of Trace's first flight.

Mommy, Trace and Tilly taking a nap!

Trace working on his standing skills... He looks terrified but I promise he was having fun... He thought he was super cool.

Trace enjoying his bumbo and his new bug toy. Also "tiger" you cant see him very well but you will... He really likes him. :)

Yorkie in the way.....

It was warm the day we went to Arrington Vineyards so I took a washcloth to put on Trace's face. He tends to get a heat rash on his little face. He liked it...
