Georgia Visit Part II

After leaving Grandma and Grandpa's in Northwest Georgia, we headed to see the R family in Northeast Georgia.

Our many good times included...


Communal eating (mostly eating in because...4 kids under 5).







Lots and lots of quality play time among the cousins.





Opening Christmas gifts on a February morning (because why not?).




Family car rides where everyone was in a satisfactory mood.



Visiting a park with a covered bridge and a swing set. 


Pile on Aunts and Uncles!



Breaking out an impromptu birthday party for Tiger Cub.



Exploring nature.



Baby cuddles.





Synchronized jumping.



And it's a wrap! Back to NY we go.

Georgia Visit Part I

We spent the first week of February in Georgia, first with my parents, and then with Randy's family. It was a show-off-the-new-baby tour. The boys enjoyed many sweet moments with their grandparents.

The baby's first flight couldn't have gone better. Both kids fell asleep on take-off. Whaaaat? Randy dozed. I read my Kindle just because. It was incredible. We were practically giddy over our luck.


Where there's Grandma, there are cupcakes (Valentine's addition).



Guys breakfast out.



Grandma is the best enforcer of tummy time.



Graffiti-covered freight trains of the South.



Grandpa and the boys.



Small bear missed his play mat but we made do. It's so hard to get a photo of these two together!



Nap time. Staged but still adorable.



Our boys don't ride in car seats at home (because we don't have cars not because we disregard safety and the law!). So it always feels like a nerve-wracking experiment to see how they'll react to the confinement. They both did great on several long-ish trips.



Randy and I had a nice date night thanks to the free babysitting. 


Grampy met his newest great-grandchild. They hit it off well.



I went to a fun shower for my soon-to-be-married friend Lindsay. This is my favorite group of girlfriends ever and I'm lucky to get to see them about once a year (more would be better but I'll take what I can get given the distance between us). We've come a long way since our days as Georgia Tech freshman!



And finally, a few family shots...




Stay tuned for Georgia Part II!
