We headed to Cleveland this past weekend for all sorts of fun activities. On Friday, we visited with the Puchmeyers, where Annie and Bella played nicely in the basement with the toys with minimal supervision! Yay! The day we'd been waiting for! :) Unfortunately, and rather oddly, neither Callista nor I took any pictures. Maybe that's why they were so well-behaved....
The next night was Erica's bachelorette party at the Indians game. My smart, funny and ever generous cousin Allison watched the girls (thanks again!) when I went.
The party was lots of fun. We had a suite at the game (oh, the game. I think the Indians won it right at the end, but I can't be sure because honestly, I watched about a total of 46 seconds of it). Erica was on the Jumbo-tron, and Slider came to visit.
Speaking of Slider, being born and raised in Cleveland, I just accepted and loved Slider. I didn't need to label him or question his weird presence. Lindsay, however, not being from Cleveland, asked me, "What is that bird?"
A bird!? Slider is not a bird! But when she asked me what he was, I was speechless. It was an excellent question, and I still don't have an answer. Any Clevelanders want to help out my Columbus friends with that one?
Here he is making out with Erica.
The whole partay
On Sunday, we visited with Grandpa Ralls and Pauline...where Kate took her very first step!! She took two tiny steps while we there. When she did it, we all yelled and probably scared because she stopped smiling and was staring at us. We were unsuccessful at capturing anything on film, but we're still trying. Way to go Kate!! :)
After that, we went to Carol and Matt's house to celebrate GG and Pa's birthdays. It was the first time in a long time that Matt was able to attend a family function, so it was great to be there.
Pa, GG and all the great grandkids. (L-R) Mallory, Ella, Annie, Maddee, Kate and Adam. Brady is up top.
Kate is no fool. She went directly to those most likely to give her ice cream. Mallory and Ella were quite happy to share.

I am always a fan of alliteration. This would have been much better with the add on "...and Brown Bag Burgers!" (and a few extra pics of course)
