A Glimps At Michigan

Gerrit and Emmit on the airplane. I didn't have a lot of time so this is the best I could do:

Ella in her glory with Emmit. She did very well with him:

Gerrit and Mia are two peas in a pod. You'd never know they don't see each other very often. They play so well together. One of the days Mia came to my parents' condo and played with Gerrit. Notice the jammie picture, they all have the same print. We tried to get a pictuer of all the cousin's together and this was the best one that I got (my brother took some too - hoping he got a better one!)

Emmit being passed around the family, getting to meet everyone. Aunt Erika reminded us of the pinky finger as a soothing technique (seeing he doesn't like the pacifier, yet). She was a big help in giving us tips to help calm his tummy (and meds!). The family as we opened presents at my brother's cottage; they left the tree up so it could feel a bit more like Christmas even though it was the end of January. A great shot of Gerrit outside, compliments of Aunt Erika. Finally a shot of Opa and Emmit - must've been a day when Mia was around to distract Gerrit!

A visit by Grandpa Bob and Geri was nice to get in despite their busy schedule. Of course, the 3 generation photo. Visiting with Grandma Marcy and GG (great-grandma) before we headed out of state. Gerrit loved to look for the cat too. He finally warmed up to sit by him and pet him.

It was great to introduce Emmit to the family and see a few friends as well as shop a few local places too. Relaxing was squeezed in as well as a ski trip for Adam. We are home again and getting back into our routine (shoveling snow these days!). We look forward to seeing some of the family Palm Sunday weekend for baptism. Until then, the blog will have to do! Thanks for a great week!
