meetin' the family (part 1)...

Kaden, Anna, and I had been anxiously awaiting this weekend for quite some time. What a great weekend we all had, as many of our family visitors were meeting our little man for the very first time! My mother and sister flew in from Oakland, Maryland, brother and sister-in-law from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and sister, niece, nephew, and nephew's girlfriend drove in from Charlotte, NC.  Kaden's grandpap was "here" with us, as well, as we know he was looking down and smiling from above!

 

We knew they'd all be bringin' the love, but man, did they ever!  Anna and I just kinda hung back and let everyone else have their time with him over the past 4 days.  He knew they were family because he took to everyone right away!  He showed his true colors by busting out the smiles and doing LOTS of "talking".

 

We are so thankful they all took the time to travel and be here together like this!  What great memories we made, and one's that Kaden will be able to look back on when he's older!  We love you, family!  Kaden says he can't wait until he sees you all again!
