Granny is sooooo good at holding babies.

Walt's trip to Michigan

Man, I've been on airplanes a lot lately. Too bad babies don't earn frequent flier miles. As you can see, I'm exhausted.

Here I am with Nilay and Hayley, my dad's cousin, who just got married on 13 Sept. Congratulations guys! My parent's said that your wedding was lots of fun. Personally, I enjoyed some pay-per-view and room service at the hotel room with the sitter.

We went up north, to the family's cottage near Yuba on Lake Michigan. It was cool, so I had to wear a knitted hat.

My dad and his uncle Fred caught an 8 lb. king salmon, which made a very good dinner that night. Nice work pops!

There's nothing like putting your bare toes in the sand. I love Michigan, and hope to come back here to visit my family for many years in to the future.

Walt's wooden rattle

Walt's uncle Alan made him a wooden rattle, which he loves, as you can see... Here he is with Grandma Jan, up at Obstruction Island, on Friday, 5 September 2008.
