meet & greet

A few weeks ago, we finally got to meet my nephew Isaac. The whole family was in town as Colin (click the link for a good read) had some responsibilities at the Provincial Boys' Single A Basketball championship held in our town. Isaac was born September 12. Since it was our first time meeting him, it was his family's first time meeting Jaxon. The two boys had a nice little time getting acquainted. Little Miss Selah is such a great big sister and big cousin. She knows just what to do with a fussy baby. She needs to work on controlling her gag reflex before she can continue her diaper changing career. I guess we'll give her a few more years for that. We saw them a few times during their week here, and on this day Kelly and I took the babies and Marty to Ikea. (Max was at school and then at a friend's house for the afternoon.) In the 15+ (!) years we've known each other, I don't think she and I have ever spent that amount of time together, as we've always been at different stages of life, not to mention a large geographical gap. Here we are now actually sharing part of the same life experience (with the new babes) and only living 3 hours apart. I'm liking this.

We're looking forward to seeing you all again at Easter!
