Meet Baby Machak!

This past weekend Nicholas took his first trip to Ohio. He did well in the car, sleeping the entire way. We stopped twice to nurse and change his diaper, but that was all. We had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Machak's. Thursday night we had an early Thanksgiving dinner, Saturday Grandma Machak hosted a "Meet Baby Machak" party, and Sunday was Grandma Machak's birthday so we all got to celebrate together before we drove back to Washington, DC on Monday.


All set up for the party.

The house is decorated for Christmas already and looks beautiful!
