Super-Fun Weekend

Nicholas bounced back from his various ailments (yay for antibiotics) and had a great weekend. We spent Saturday morning at the B&O Museum, where Nicholas got to see all sorts of choo-choos.

Nicholas was very excited to see so many trains, but mostly he just wanted to go "on a choo-choo." So we went on each and every one that you were allowed to walk on.

And the train car with a large complex model train was a huge hit, mostly because the trains were running. And a small moving train is more exciting to this toddler than an old large stationary one.

Trains were exciting, but the real highlight of the weekend was when Uncle Mike and Aunt Melinda came to visit. Nicholas went down for his nap knowing they were coming after his nap, but was so excited that he woke up after only an hour calling for "Uncle Mike and Nannena." Joe convinced him they weren't here yet and he willingly went back to bed.

After he woke up they read books, they played trains, they played basketball, and Nicholas spent a lot of time climbing on Uncle Mike (who taught him to say "yeehaw").

And his fun wasn't over. After Mike and Melinda left Sunday afternoon my parents came up and babysat so Joe and I could work for a few hours and then celebrated Joe's birthday with us. So this lucky little boy got trains, an aunt and uncle, and grandparents.

And apple pie. Can't leave out the apple pie.
