40 Days and 40 Nights

Will it ever stop raining here? There's a huge cloud mass sitting over us right now and to top it off, we're going to get the remnants of hurricane Ike this weekend. I thought only those crazy east coasters had to deal with hurricanes! Anyway, not to be forced inside by this weather, Christopher and I took a trip over to Lee's Summit, MO to visit a little store called Happybottumus (great name isn't it?). It's a great baby store although once again my husband would classify it as "hippie retail." They sell cloth diapers (no we're not there yet!), organic clothing and those aluminum water bottles. But the reason we went was to get a different kind of wrap called a Mei Tai. The sling was bothering my back if I wore it too much and mei tais are more like front carriers. (Check them out at www.babyhawk.com) I tried it when we got home and it is mucho comfortable and Chris looks so cute in it! You'll have to wait for pics because as talented as Kasey is, she hasn't learned how to use the camera yet... Anyway, Christopher is 8 weeks old today! Flying in for the occasion tomorrow are Grandpa Turick, Nancy and great-grandma Nanny. We can't wait to see them!
