Visit from Aunt Vicki and Uncle Dick

Liam enjoyed a fun visit this weekend with Aunt Vicki and Uncle Dick, who came from Illinois to see us for a couple of days during their RV foliage tour of the northeast. Their adorable Maltese, Bentley, was along for the ride-- and treated Liam to his first experience with a furry friend. They were too cute together! Liam tried to chase Bentley around the living room with his own little growl, attempting to pet (okay, pull) his fur. Thank goodness Bentley is a mild-mannered and very patient dog! Here they are eyeing each other up:

On Saturday night, we watched another nail-biter Irish win. Liam, practicing his standing, watched intently with Daddy.




On Sunday, we enjoyed the gorgeous fall weather with a little trip to Peddler's Village for their Scarecrow Festival. Liam hamming it up with Vicki and Dick (note that Dick was wearing an Illini hat, which Liam promptly removed for him for the photo!):




On the way home, we stopped at Macaroni Grill for dinner, and for the first time Liam sat in a restaurant high chair like a big boy! It was short-lived, however, as all he wanted to do was rip up (and try to eat) the paper they put over the tablecloth, and then try to pull the actual tablecloth out from under us. Guess we'll have to wait until he's a little older to try again. Liam with his mischievous little grin...
