I hope the "three weeks worth" portion of the title doesn't scare readers off. I sure did miss these
Really Random Thursday posts during my hiatus. I promise not to show 500+ baby pictures
after all, I haven't edited them yet! and I took advantage of the PicStitch app to prepare mosaics
so it won't look like there are too many of common-themed pictures.

| How many relatives does it take to make a baby smile?! |
During Leo's visit to Florida, he was exposed to a variety of unique experiences: flying on an airplane (even though he has already ridden
too many times in an ambulance and helicopter), tropical storms, Gators (of the animal AND human kind), shopping, celebrating and meeting
the paparazzi family and friends.

| Then and Now - Four Generations |
Since
Leo and his parents live on the other side of the world it's a minimum 5 hour plane ride and then a 2-3 hour drive and ferry ride to get to Leo's house, many friends and family members have not had the opportunity to meet Leo until now. My son was happy that so many people took advantage of them being in Florida to visit.

| Tracking Isaac with Leo...it's not a good thing when your hometown is mentioned in the same newscast as a hurricane |
For some family members, visiting Leo in Florida coincided with their evacuation from the Gulf Coast and Hurricane/Tropical Storm/ Tropical Depression Isaac!
 |
| Family came from far and wide to meet Leo |
Others came to visit on their way to/from college football games.
 |
| Beware of those Gators! |
I made sure opposing team fans were not here at the same time!
Leo had to be changed into and out of his different college game day onesies depending on who was visiting.
 |
| Friends wanted in on the Leo action too. |
There was one moment when Leo's Mom (who is not a big football fan and who had to be educated on the fact that the Chick-fil-A Bowl is not an entree but an important football game....but we still love her!) dressed Leo in the wrong outfit and offended one of our friends ;-)
 |
| So many different colleges represented in our family - but everyone knows no Gator stuff allowed. |
Even though our family is completely
obsessed with FSU into football, we knew better than to take a two-month-old to a college football game in the Florida heat. It was such a hot day that my daughter found relief in the shade of the car trunk.
 |
| Leo is crying cause he couldn't go to the game....Go Noles! |
Leo turned three months old while he was here, so we had to have a party!
 |
| You are 3 Months Old now! |
Appropriately enough, it was also Grandparent's Day!!!
Did you see this video produced by AARP? It's not as fun as the USA Olympic swimming team's version of Call Me Maybe, but it's pretty cute.
 |
| Raspberry and Chocolate - it just goes together! |
One last thing. Did you know that today is International Chocolate Day? Well, it is. Think I may enjoy a few of these Raspberry M&M's to commemorate the occasion.
So....how random is your Thursday?
