Our Trip to NC (Part 1)

We've had such a fun time in North Carolina so far. Bonnie did a great job riding on the plane. In fact, the hardest part of the ordeal was getting the stroller through security. I was holding Bonnie and trying to explain to the security man how to fold the stroller in order to get it up onto the x-ray belt. He was trying really hard, bless his heart! Finally, a lady working the x-ray had mercy and came over to whip it right up!

We've had lots of visitors, and we've had so much fun seeing everyone. One thing to mention is that with our family, everyone in the generation above you is called "aunt" or "uncle", even though they are in fact your cousin. For instance, Jay Parker is my second cousin, but to Bonnie he will be called "Uncle Jay". This is because he is in the generation older than Bonnie. This has been a source of confusion to many, but it's just the way it is, and always has been. So, although I only have one brother, Bonnie will have lots of aunts and uncles on my side of the family.

Camden wanted Bonnie to play with him, but she just stared at him. He's showing her how to use his swing.

Aunt Tammy brought Camden over to see Bonnie!



Aunt Mildred came by to visit with us as well. She's Bonnie's great, great aunt!




Todd is the "baby whisperer". All babies love Todd.




Aunt Alice holding Bonnie at the sale. Bonnie looks pretty happy!



Uncle Leonard and Aunt Beverly are so sweet, Bonnie was falling asleep!




Aunt Angie is showing Bonnie to Aunt Christine, another great, great Aunt!




Uncle Buck was Bonnie's first visitor to Pap's house.
There will be more to come later. We have lots of pictures of our trip!
