The Rest of Christmas

In the days following Christmas, we spent a day with my family:

Mom and Dad hosted Mawmaw and Pawpaw, Chelle and Allie, Uncle Dave and family and us for a day of eating, exchanging presents and playing on the Wii! Allie and Chelle each got a Wii for Christmas and Chelle also got the Beatles Rock Band, and we put them to good use . . . they really kept us entertained the whole day. And it was super fun watching the adults (Even with a child, Greg and I aren't in that category yet at family functions) playing the guitar and drums. My favorite part of the day was when Mom and Chelle sang several duets with the Wii . . . I love their voices together!

The following Sunday, we loaded up the car and headed up to Maryland/Deleware to visit some of Greg's extended family. The first night we stayed with his Uncle Mike and Aunt Nicole and Zach got to meet Gigi (his great grandma Betty, Steve's mom). Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of any of our time in MD, I was snapping away with someone else's camera.

The next afternoon, we drove an hour and half longer and made it up to Bethany Beach, DE for dinner! We stayed with Nana and PopPop for 2 nights and had a wonderful time relaxing (and shopping at the Rehoboth Outlets - DE has no sales tax . . . quite a treat!) and watching Zach interact with everyone.




Zach made it very clear while we were there that he was ready to start on some solids. We had begun giving him rice cereal right after Thanksgiving (when he was about 4 1/2 months old) but this child (much like his daddy) loves to eat and the rice cereal just wasn't cutting it. This picture doesn't capture the full energy of the moment . . . he was lunging at that cheesecake with all his might!
