Family pics

I realized as I downloaded pics from this weekend, how horribly slow I've been lately at taking and sharing pictures. My apologizes. A few here for you to enjoy from our recent trip (late Feb) to Cleveland. Cousin Kelly, Aunt Cathy and of course Great Grandma S.

We're keeping up the prayers for Cathy, Bryan and the entire family who said goodbye to Hank recently. He will be missed.

The parents are making their way north from FL, the snow birds migrating home. My p's made it back this weekend, and the in-laws start their journey in a couple weeks. Another sign spring is here, with summer (hopefully) soon to follow.

Snow anyone?

We hit OH last weekend to check in on great grandma S in Lima, and Deb and crew in Cleveland. Little did we know there was a snow storm forecasted. Or was there? Regardless, it snowed. A lot. We squatted at the in-laws house, though they are (wisely) in Naples for the winter.

This is a picture of their patio table in the backyard.

Kind of puts our Chicago winter in perspective, doesn't it?

A few new pictures - dad and baby in OH, sporting a cute outfit from Rachel, big eyes and chillin' in the baby bjorn with aunt Debbie!

Outside of the fact that Dr. Poopsie was the baby that showed up when we visited great grandma, the trip was pretty awesome. Grandma had told everyone about baby Ben and so when we came through the door, they were all waiting.

We had a nice lunch together and then spent the afternoon catching up. The in-laws met us later in the day and caught their first glimpse of the little guy. Ben was pretty fussy throughout, and required a few 'time outs' to calm down. Ultimately he did chill long enough to hang out and capture a few photos.

It was really nice to see everyone - how amazing is it that Ben has a great grandma? She turned 91 on March 12 and is still sharp as ever. A few more family visits coming up and we're looking forward to it.
