Catching up

We had a visit from Ethan, Tiffy, and Eddie recently. Malachi and Ethan had fun playing side-by-side. Ethan was really good with Malachi.

This is what finals does to you. It may not be obvious, but he's still holding the remote control for the TV. Poor guy.
I went on a business trip to D.C. for a week. Kevin drove Malachi and I to D.C., and Malachi stayed with me the whole week. My Mom watched him, while Kevin went back home for a week of finals.

Nana and Pa also happened to be in D.C. for a D.A.R. conference, so they were FINALLY able to meet Malachi!

Daddy squeezed in a quick trip to the National Zoo with Malachi before he headed back home. And what do you know? He found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow! We already knew Malachi was a treasure, but now we have proof!
While in D.C., Malachi did his best to help me analyze my notes. So serious with his books.

Grammie and Papa drove us home yesterday, and Malachi had to say good-bye to them this morning. He had a great week with Grammie at the hotel and...big news. He's starting to walk! He took seven steps for her! It won't be long now.
