We had so much fun while his Mommy, Emily, was on maternity leave. We went for strolls, shopped at the mall on really hot afternoons, and Joe and I "helped out" by watching Hudson so his Mom could train for a triathlon. Hudson and his parents loved spending time at their country club pool all summer long. Aunt Maureen even got to fly back from Amherst, MA for a couple of weeks in the beginning and again in August for a week before her school year started. Maureen made him a hat with ears to wear for his newborn photo session.
After his Mommy returned to work, Joe and I started caring for Hudson. It is so much fun to watch him grow and change each day. We go for strolls back and forth between their house and ours here in Prairie Village, KS. It is a 2.5 mile round trip which is just perfect. We also got a zoo membership, so now we can go to the zoo. It is fun to pack a picnic lunch and spend time at the Kansas City Zoo. There is a new polar bear exhibit which is our first and last stop when we go to the zoo.

Hudson is so happy, he keeps us all laughing.
