Seattle bound!

The girls and mom and I spent a long weekend in Seattle visitng Greg, Malee and baby Mason. We were all so excited to meet Mason and couldn't get enough of him. He is such a sweet little boy and Greg and Malee seem to be settling well into parenthood. I had a hard time picturing my brother as a dad, so it was fun to seem in that role. He adores his little boy, but made me laugh a few times as he experienced some of the "joys" of parenthood. By the changing table, he kept his military issued ear protection, when I asked him what for, he said he wears them when he's changing Mason's diaper so he doesn't have to hear him cry-said they help keep him calm. Whatever works, right??

Baby Mason-wide awake! Such a cutie!

Zzzz.....

Proud grandma!

Lizzy couldn't get enough of Mason.

Taylor all snuggled in with Mason. What better feeling in the world than to have a newborn baby close to your heart??

Even I got a turn to hold him! :)

A picture with Malee! This is the only picture I got with Malee in it. I don't think she got to hold her baby other than to feed him the whole time we were there. She was probably very happy to have him back to herself!
Since Greg and Taylor both had birthdays in September, we got an ice cream cake to celebrate.

Greg took us to the State fair in Pullalup and took the girls on a few rides.

A little taste of home-Greg and Lizzy milking a "cow."

It was so fun to visit Greg and his family and to meet Mason. We had great time-Thanks, Greg and Malee!
