Pennsylvania



A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of visiting my mother's father's side of the family in York, PA. My great-grandmother hadn't seen her great-great grandson yet...and we were able to get 5-generation portraits taken. It was awesome to see our extended family - albeit for just a long weekend. My great-great Aunt Lois graciously hosted us, my parents, and grandparents. Will did fairly good on his first plane ride and only cried the on the last flight in from Newark, NJ...let me tell you...people are NOT sympathetic towards you when your child is crying - no matter how many time you know they must have gone through it. As soon as we stepped into Epply airport - Will lifted his head from my shoulder and started clapping...he was outta there!

We spent one day exploring Philadelphia - and could have used several more. Of course we had to run the "Rocky" stairs. It was hilarious - that's what everyone was doing. I have a feeling they have more people running up the steps and raising their fists than actually stepping foot in the museum.

Also, as of yesterday



8 years and counting!

14 years ago, girl saw boy and was smitten - supposedly, boy saw girl and was also smitten.

For 4 years (yes four!) girl stalked boy and boy stalked girl - but barely spoke a word to each other.

Almost 10 years ago, boy FINALLY asked girl out.

And 8 years ago, girl and boy tied the knot.

Sweet Sixteen...

Months that is...as of yesterday.
He's probably not ready to drive yet, but he sure did love playing in Grandpa Casey's 'vette.
