Loving Hands

During our trip home to CA we were able to introduce everyone to Caleb! All my family was anxiously awaiting his arrival and were so happy to meet him, hold him, kiss him, etc!

Great-Grandma Helen holding Caleb, this is something special, four generations!! I love my Grandma so much! She is the #1 Grandma. She has been to every birthday party, sports event, dance recital, etc. my siblings and I ever had our whole growing up years! We got to spend some quality time together and chat, which I love. She mentioned to me how weird it is holding my baby when she remembers holding me at that age!

Uncle Chris and Aunt Talynn were able to spend some special time with their nephew, this was their second time seeing him though since they made the trip here to WA for his birth! Jonathon loves them so much and Caleb will grow to love them too. They mean so much to our family. They live near Disneyland so Jonathon always associates them with it and wants to go visit them and go to Disneyland again this summer! Jonathon loves to talk Cars and Buzzlightyear with Uncle Chris and knows exactly where to find Car shows on Chris' phone!

My cousin Falhon was able to meet her new second cousin! Love this girl, she's the best! We have taken quite a few road trips together that gave me some of the funniest memories to last a lifetime! She is like a sister to me and I miss living near her! She's due with her first boy Cullen soon! Falhon- remember our trip to Utah, as we were driving on the highway, those guys in the truck who held the sign out of it asking for my number? Remember writing my number down for me then holding the wheel for me as I rolled down my window, leaned halfway out of the car and gave it to him, all while still on the highway!? I was 16 at the time, they were like 30 and when they called that night we screamed and were like ya right! Anyway .... :) Fun times!
This picture was taken on my mom's camera and turned out fuzzy, but I thought it was a cute one of my dad holding his new Grandson :) Grandpa spent a lot of time with the boys. Swinging Jonathon numerous times a day on the swing, fixing meals for us all (great Mexican food), night duty with Caleb when he would wake up in the wee hours of the morning, doing our laundry and buying toys. We appreciated all he did!

I'm so glad Caleb was able to meet so many of my loved ones and that they were able to meet him too! It was such a fun trip and we miss everyone!
