We Are Family

NiCalNix with Grandma Harris

This entry was written almost 2 months ago, but it's been so busy that I haven't gotten to posting it until now. Deb, my mother-in-law, is in town helping out while Cal works long days on set. Deb being here and helping out has given me a few extra moments, so it's fitting that I take one of those moments to talk about our wonderful trip to Michigan in late April.

Grandpa Tom

We recently returned from Michigan, where Phoenix got to meet his Great-Grandma Harris, Grandpa Tom, Aunt Kendra, Uncle RJ and soooo many cousins.

My baby bird was amazing on his first flight! He slept, explored and just hung out. I'm so proud/relieved that he handled the flight so well. We nursed on take-off and landing to help his ears adjust to the altitude. We wiped the plane down with anti-bacterial wipes like crazy people. I wore him using my sleepy wrap, and bounced his big butt to sleep. It was really nice to have the support of our neighbors, too!

Anywho, we had a lovely time in Michigan, visiting with family at the Open House thrown by Deb, Tom, Kendra + RJ!

We ate lots of delicious blueberry pancakes-thank you Deb.

We celebrated my Bday several times-thank you Faustins for a wild DIY steakhouse experience; thank you Tom + Deb for babysitting and for yummy Bday cakes :)

We met soooo many wonderful and generous cousins-thank you Harris/Achenbach Families!

Uncle RJ and Cousin Cal

We got to hang with great friends of T+D-thank you Ruffers, Ollilas, Gelardis, Van Gilders, just to name a few.

So grateful Phee got to touch down on the land his ancestors walked :)
