Meet the Family

Wow!  What a weekend.  Mom loaded Cole and I up on Friday after work and drove all the way to South Bend.  I got to hang out with more family than I even knew existed!  Here I am having a great evening chat with Bugga.  He's known for his legendary chats in which he gets "the scoop!"

I got to charm some really pretty girls!  Here I am showing off my style (thanks Mama Opperman) and whit with Shayla. 

I flirted it up with Sueann too!  What a couple of sweethearts.  We were thrilled to learn that they'll be official cousins as of 4/5.  Hooray!

My big brother was always close by telling people they couldn't swipe me, and that I was HIS baby.  He sure does take good care of me.

Not that he didn't find time to fight every bad guy and uncle that came around.

Or open Valentine's Day gifts from Grandma.  Thanks Grandma!

I tried to fight Uncle Scott too.  Clearly he's totally under my control in this submission hold.



No fighting Oma though!  I loved spending time with her.  She got plenty of smiles and coos when we went to her house while the big kids went to a play with Grandma and Bugga.



I had a lot to say to her!

Ota kinda liked me.  I liked him too!

More chats.  Mom says "Oh no, TWO chatterboxes!"  Dad says "um.... that's THREE for our house."  tee hee.

I had some great snuggles with Nana on Sunday morning before she fed us all an awesome lunch.  Thanks Nana!

And THIS guy...  We totally bonded.  Uncle Adam and I were both all smiles.  I can see we'll get along just fine.

Of course, Papa is always well loved by his little Vandys.

C'mon Mom..  Give a guy a break.  I see what my brother says about the Momparazzi being out of control.  Yeesh!

Finally, on Monday morning we got a little early Sunshine with a visit from our beloved Aunty Kat.  Don't worry big bro, she couldn't fit me in her suitcase back to Atlanta.  We sure did love seeing her!

And vice versa, I think. 

What a great weekend jam packed full of family.  I'm starting to see how truly lucky I am!
See you all again soon.
