George is absolutely beautiful! He is such a sweetie--completely alert and looking around when we arrived to say hello, and then in true newborn fashion snuggled in and fell sound asleep. This gave us a chance to talk with Anne and Ryan, and here George's birth story. The new parents seem to be doing great--completely in love with their little guy and in that haze of sleep deprivation that I still remember so clearly. They seem really calm and peaceful, and already great parents, very in tune to little G's needs. I think they liked the quilt (whew!) and it matches George's nursery perfectly. Ryan's parents, Greg and Marcia, were also in town to spend time with their sweet grandson and give Ryan and Anne a chunk of time to go out to dinner.
In addition to sweet baby snuggles, we also went to eat lunch at Rustico Grill and ordered delectable pizza for dinner at Piece. Sunday morning Nathan woke up really early in the morning especially when factoring in the Central time zone. Luckily for Stu and Erin, who are not in the habit of crawling out of bed at 5:30 in the morning on a Sunday, they live right across the street from a Dunkin' Donuts. So T, N and I all got up and out of the apartment as quietly as possible and traipsed across the street for some coffee and donuts. Nathan was so good--thoroughly entertained by eating samples of our breakfast, watching cars out the window, and playing with cups, straws and bags. When the time was a little more reasonable, we headed back to the apartment and hung out with Stu and Erin for a few hours (James the cat was NOT amused by Nathan's increasing mobility, noises, and interest in kitties) before heading back to Kalamazoo.
Isn't he just beautiful???
The happy parents
I love this photo--hopefully Nathan and George will get a kick out of seeing the picture of the first time they met. It's hard to believe that for most of their lives their age difference won't be noticeable, but they're in such different worlds right now!
Todd made me hand over the baby so he could get some snuggles. :)
Nathan explored every corner of Anne and Ryan's condo during the short time we were there--starting with checking out the wildlife! :)
The coffee table with its secret compartments was a huge hit--Nathan played with it almost the entire time we were there!
George was nice enough to share some of his toys.
Marcia and Greg were so sweet to share George with us; they arrived at the same time we did, and I'm sure they were just dying to get their hands on the little guy!
