A few weeks ago, the Little Miss and I ventured out on our very first roadtrip without Daddy. Though we were sad to leave him and Teddy, we were excited to travel with my parents to Philadelphia to visit my sister’s family, and to meet Annabelle’s newest cousin,
the adorable Mr. Liam Patrick!
Born in February, Liam is the 4th Little Garecht to join Aunt Ashley and Uncle Joe’s family. He is a cuddly little sweetheart who stole our hearts the minute we met him!
My Little Traveler also had a great time with her other cousins, Haley, Emily and Caleb.
Just like at Christmas, the cousins showered my Little Gal with love and taught her all sorts of new tricks, like…
how to play the guitar,
how to woo a crowd and command their attention,
how to have fun at the playground (and keep up appearances),
how to make silly faces (and sing, and dance, and be goofy…),
and how to eat lots of new yummy foods.
The Little Miss had a ball and was eager to express her gratitude for all of their super lessons!
We had such a fun time with the Garecht gang, so much so that my Little Party Animal decided (yet again) that nighttime was for playing…NOT sleeping! Sleep deprived though we were (and by “we” I mean the Poor Mama), we loved every minute of the visit!
To be sure, the only sad part about the weekend was when we had to say “goodbye”!
Miss Annabelle is so lucky to have so many cousins already and yet another one on the way!! Looks like she basks in all of the attention!
Annabelle and her cousins are precious together! I loved reliving the weekend through your great blog and pictures!
Loved ALL the pictures….you really captured Annabelle’s animated expressions plus those of her cousins. She really liked learning new “tricks”. No wonder she didn’t go to bed at night… Annabelle couldn’t miss any of the sleepover! No wonder you were tired!
Great pictures of the family. Thanks for sharing.
Love,
Aunt Marjorie
