William has not been keeping up with his posts lately, so I guess I'll have to be the one to catch everybody up... :) About 3 weeks ago, we went to visit my Poppy in New Mexico. It takes a really long time to get there in the car, but William and I did really well. I really only cried to let Mommy know I was hungry or tired, and then she would give me some milk or help me fall asleep. We had a great time at our Poppy's house and the weather was so nice up in the mountains, Mommy didn't want to come back to Kansas. We did lots of hiking, (well Mom hiked and I rode in the carrier), and we hiked to the top of a mountain and around some cliffs with Indian caves. Mommy says she loves hiking vacations. I guess besides spending quality time together she gets lots of exercise at the same time. We got to meet my new cousins that recently married into the family and William and they played ALL DAY LONG (really they played for 6 hours straight in Poppy's backyard.) There are some pretty funny pictures of William playing in his underwear (not with his cousins), but Mommy wouldn't let me put those on the blog, sorry... We also got to visit my 2 uncles, Joseph & David. I really liked David which is good because William really likes uncle Joseph. So, we both have our favorite uncles. We spent about a week in New Mexico, and mommy has decided Daddy needs to get a job in the mountains, maybe Colorado. I'm not sure that will be happening anytime soon, but there is a possibility of Daddy seriously looking at a new job that would take us away from Lawrence. I don't really mind since I haven't been around too long (except missing Ava), but I know that William and Mommy & Daddy would really miss their good friends and family. Daddy doesn't really know anything yet, but I'll keep you posted. That's all I can really think of for now, plus I'm tired and it's time for my nap. I'll try and get some pictures posted later today.

After a while crocodile...
