Visiting Family in Pennsylvania

We drove up to PA with Alden this past week to visit his great-grandmother Emily Meyers.  Grandma Meyers turns 90 this week and we went up to celebrate her blessed years with the family.


We got to stay with Greg's Aunt Nan and allow Alden to get some sleep before the festivities began.  Emily joined us right before bedtime and got to win some smiles from Alden.  :-)  Nothing quite like watching your sibling adore your kid... just check out Greg's face!

We couldn't WAIT to get our  happy little bundle into Great-Grandma's arms.  He's happy here for the pic but unfortunately he was a little cranky 'cause our front-loading on sleep to make a happy baby backfired.  (uuuugh!!)  Great-Grandma didn't seem to mind, huh?














Here's Alden with his Grandma (Omo) and her brother Jack, and cousin Nan, it was a treat to see them love on our baby.

Here's the birthday girl and her (latest) great-grandchildren.


And again, these babies by themselves.  Cassidy is 9 mo and about 6oz-1lb heavier than my little boy.  Maddox, is 3 weeks younger.  I had a blast chatting it up with their mommies and comparing notes.  Sorry for the dark picture, it was taken on my cell phone with all the parents hovering over the babies.  :-)

 On Sunday we got to see Maddox get baptized at their church and celebrated afterwards.  Alden slept through the first part and I spent the rest of the time in the nursery with him.  We were so excited it worked out to celebrate both Maddox and Great-Grandma in one trip!!!

Here's Alden with his Grandpa (Opo), napping after church before we left for home.  I couldn't get Alden to sleep in his bed so Opo worked his baby sleeping magic... apparently so well it knocked him out too!!  :-)
