We spent the first couple of days with my brother Don and his fiance Traci and my nephews and nieces. Kai and Daila finally got to meet their other cousins, as Max is the only one who lives in California. We spent 2 days with all of the kids as they played and bonded with everybody. Joey is the youngest who is almost 2, and Sid, Clay, Amber, Alex and Taylor range from 8-17, and they all LOVE holding the babies. So between all of them it's pretty safe to say the babies were being adored at all times. I think Clay (my 8 yr. old nephew) may have had the closest bond with them. He just talk to and cuddled with them every chance he got. And the babies loved all of the interaction.
The next 2 days we spent going on a little road trip to Pittsburgh PA. Our oldest nephew Sidney is on a traveling all state baseball team. Their team had some games in Pittsburgh and Mark Wilkins, their coach, use to be a pitcher for the Pirates. He arranged for their whole team and families to also go to the Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds game Saturday night. To top it off he also arranged for all the boys on the team to sit in the dug out during batting practice before the game. It was so great to be able to finally see some of Sidney's baseball games and to be there for such a special moment for him. We had a blast the whole time. It was also the first time Billy and I have left the babies overnight with anyone. My mom and dad were in their babysitting glory as we ventured out for the first time. We always have a great time with my brother Don and Traci, and this was no exception. Now we just look forward to the days we can take the babies with us and all of the kids can have these memories together!
