Holiday visits

I still have about 10,000 pictures to post from our holiday, but as usual upon returning to work from a long vacation, things are hectic. I at least have a couple spare minutes today to post some pictures from visits with extended friends and family.

I was so excited to get a chance to see my friend Susan and her children. The last couple times we went to Georgia, Susan and I weren't able to work out a visit, so even though her son Jacob and Jake are almost exactly the same age (3 weeks apart), they had never met! In addition to meeting Jake, we also got to see baby Nicholas, who was born at the beginning of December.

Unfortunately Jake fell asleep on our way to lunch, so he, Nick, and dad Scott went home while Susan, Jack, and I had lunch. As a result, the only pictures I have from our visit are the 2 here where you can't even see their faces! Oh well, they're still very cute. Jake and Jack became instant friends--Jake took Jack's hand and showed him all the cool stuff at his house.

Jake is the spitting image of his mother--absolutely adorable. Congratulations Susan and Scott on your beautiful family!


Jack and I also got to visit our Aunt Deane and Uncle Lynn. We met up for lunch one day, and it was great to see them. Lynn had never met Jack, and Deane hadn't seen him in over a year. We had a yummy lunch and a fun visit, though I wish Jack had been in a better mood while we were there. He was tired and teething--never a good combination. At least he let us get a couple quick photos before we left the restaurant. We loved seeing you, Aunt Deane and Uncle Lynn!
