I bailed early on work Friday to join Mel in visiting our coworker friend Emily in hospital with her new son Isaac Alexander Wade (which by the way is pronounce I-Zack in Australia). Here's Em and Isaac.

And me with Isaac - he was super light, teeny tiny.

A close up shot of Isaac who looks just like his dad Joel.
Then of course there was Mel and Archer...
And a good shot of Waz with smiling and laughing Archer. I had a sleepover at Mel and Waz's Friday night. You would never know it from these pics, but Mel and I had a bit of an adventure getting from Em's hospital back to Hoppers Crossing. Archer was having no fun in the back seat, so we played musical car seats. I hopped from the front passenger seat into the back seat next to Archer to try keep him happy while Mel drove on the highway. Mel sang and I rubbed his head and put the dummy (pacifier) in his mouth. Then, when we got off the highway, Archer had a diaper change and Mel jumped into the back seat while I drove the rest of the way to Mel's house. Hard to imagine this boy unhappy, isn't it?
A close up of that 8 week old smile.
And there's the laugh!
