The Six String

Miller got his first chance on the guitar last weekend at my cousin Tom's place. We'd love for him to learn how to play.

Abby's Birthday at Perry's

For my sister Abby's 24th birthday, we went to Perry's in Adams Morgan for sushi. Miller's at the perfect age for taking him out to restaurants and dinners with friends, as he seems to love the steady noise of crowded restaurants.

Cincinnati Weekend

The whole family traveled to Cincinnati for the first weekend in October. We had a full agenda that included introducing Miller to our Cincinnati friends and family and attending the Mariemont and Miami football games. It was extremely important for us to share Miller with his living great-grandparents, all of whom live in Southwestern Ohio. Included in this four generation picture are my Mom and Dad, my Mom's parents, and my Dad's mother.

The weekend started with Miller's first flight, a quick 55 minute jaunt across a beautiful September morning. Miller was the perfect traveler; our only hiccup was when we were worried his diaper would be flagged as a dirty bomb. The captain and flight attendants presented Miller with a certificate of first flight which we promptly added to his baby book.

Miller also met some of his parents' and grandparents' closest friends at an afternoon tea, the Mariemont Homecoming parade and a Miami University tailgate. His Dad is just getting the hang of compensating for the extra weight in the Baby Bjorn when playing cornhole.

All in all, it was a wonderful first trip to Cincinnati - the first of many, to be sure.
