Hi, friends! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a FABULOUS weekend! Mine was really nice. Mal and I had all sorts of visitors to our house on Friday and Saturday to meet baby Q.

It was so nice to see everyone and catch up and many of our friends came bearing (ridiculously adorable) gifts for baby Q!

These onesies?! The cutest thing ever, right?

And my friend Marie made this wall hanging herself. Beautiful, right? She is so crafty!

On Sunday, Mal and I took Q to a friend’s barbecue, which was one of our first out-of-the-house adventures since Q was born. We’ve visited the pediatrician, the park with Murphy, and taken a bunch of walks together, but other than that, we haven’t left the house very much.

So, traveling with a newborn? I can’t say Mal and I are totally comfortable with it yet (we must look like such rookies), but it’s getting easier each time. Leaving the house is definitely a whole new ballgame with our little man!
