Arden Goes to Bele Chere Festival

Our little hippie baby goes to her first music festival in Asheville. We eased her into the music scene by picking a closer festival that was in the civilization of downtown Asheville, and we stayed at a hotel. She did great! She hung out most of the day either in mom's sling, or dad wore her in the bjorn. She even sported her I heart Mofro onesie for one of mine and Dave's favorite bands, which was a huge hit both with fans and the band! Maybe next summer we'll try camping at a festival with her.

Arden meets Aunt Dana

Dave's sister Dana came from Indiana to stay with us for the week and to meet and hang out with Arden. Dave and I actually got to go out on a date while Dana watched the baby!

First Road Trip to Meet Uncle Brian & Aunt Amy

Arden took her first road trip 2.5 hours to Poppi & Noani's (Melissa's parents) house. She did great in the car, sleeping most of the way, so we didn't even have to stop on the way down. She got to meet her Uncle Brian & Aunt Amy for the first time. The weather wasn't all that great so it was lazy weekend, but Arden (and Dave) didn't seem to mind!
