Off to Willits

After stopping off to see Antie Dana, Uncle Justin and Juno, we headed farther North to see some of the Willits clan. Georgia got to see Grandama Gaye, Grandpa Kirk, Auntie Sharon, Uncle Buddy, Auntie Allyn, Auntie Tammy, Great Grandma Bernita, Great Grandpa Bud, Great Grandma Carol, Cousin Heath Cousin Beda, Cousin Kara, Cousin Leta, Cousin Ellia, Cousin Emma, and Cousin Lilah.

Papa and Grandpa Kirk got to do some fishing at the Boy Scout Camp.

Look at the big bass.

Three fish that morning! Mama wanted to go but slept in with G instead.




















G was even going to borrow Lilah and Emma's Barbie fishing pole.















Here is Lilah on her horse Patches. What a horsewoman!
















Emma was so sweet with the baby goats.


































Grandpa Kirk and Grandma Gaye chilled with G, some pizza, and beer.




















Great Grandpa Bud treated us all!















Grandma Gaye is letting Uncle Buddy know exactly what she thinks about something.















Grandma Gaye washed G in the sink most nights we were there. G loved the view of the Marsh!















Look at the happy water baby.
















Cuz Ella gave G lots of sweet kisses.
















...and G loved them!
















Great Grandma Carol thought she was such a pretty baby.

Heading North to see Aunt Dana and Uncle Justin

After the conference in S.F. ended, we headed North. Georgia got to see Aunt Dana and meet soon to be Uncle Justin and cousin Juno (the dog). They fed us some fabulous mushroom ravioli and wine. Yummy! Auntie Dana showed off her greenhouse and foliage. Georgia really liked the punk rock flowers.

Meeting the Great Aunts out West

We mixed a little work and pleasure this past week. Kara had a conference in San Francisco, so Brendan took a week off and traveled out West with she and Georgia. We stayed in Brendan's family house in Noe valley for a few days. Georigia got to meet her Great Aunts Pat and Mary. They spoiled her with kisses, love, stuffed animals and super cute clothes!

The weather was great, so Georgia got to wear a new sun hat. We couldn't resist taking 100 pictures of her in it. She also go to wear her cool shades.

Batting-America's favorite pastime

...or at least Georgia's favorite pastime

Just some pics

Here are just some cutie patutti pics.

Family

The thing about family is that you come together for good times and sad times. This was a wonderful week for us in that we were able to introduce Georgia to lots of people on Brendan's side of the family. I think the children really brought a special spirit to the events surrounding Marty's passing. A reminder that the most valuable pieces of our spirit get passed on through the generations.

Here is Sandy, Georgia and I.


Here is Georgia with her Grandma Sandy. Georgia wanted so badly to help sooth her Grandma's broken heart over the loss of her brother. I think she helped a bit.

Here is Georgia with her Aunt Jackie. They hit it off big time. Jackie is on the floor tickling Georgia as I write.

First day of school

Well...not first day of school, more like daycare, but we rolled with the school theme. That meant taking pictures of Georgia in her first day of school outfit (thank you Tara) including the cute shoes (thank you Marilyn) and with her teacher, Denise.

She did well. She played nice with the other kids and brought the teacher Dunkin miniatures. Bribing already...

Momma cried all the way from dropping her off to work. Like a big baby.
