trip to Cleveland...the Schwartz's & Robertson's

During our trip to Cleveland, we were able to visit with all of our cousins and aunts & uncles.

Cousin Ash..."is this right? She won't open her mouth!"

Aunt Cas thinks if she says "ahhh", Gabby will eat for her. (which for once, actually worked!) And poor cousin Kelsey in the background was fighting Mateo for the spoon.

Uncle Ed, Gabby, and Grammy

The sleeping beauties.

The babies enjoying freedom at Grammy & Pa's...

Paper towels... a new toy!

Mateo

"come help me, sissy!"

trip to Cleveland...the hotel

We should have known better than to try and sneak an overnight hotel experience past the trip's. As soon as the car stopped (12:30am) they all woke up. They were so excited to be in a hotel with Mommy & Daddy that they wouldn't (and I mean wouldn't) stop jumping/bouncing/hopping up and down on the bed. An hour later...there was relative peace and quiet. But by 6:30am, they were rearing to go and finish the drive up to Cleveland.

I'm a big boy now!

Hooray!!! Mateo is sitting up on his own... (we need to put him there...but it won't be long before he can get into the sitting position all by himself.)

visit with the brydas'!!!

We were lucky to have another set of visitors just over a week ago...the bryda's!!! Becky, Jeff, and Erin (who is a week older than the trip's) stopped by on their way back from the OuterBanks!

front to back: Erin, Mary, Mateo & Gab's

Erin gave Gabby a run for her money!

Girl Power!

The Garcia's and their brood!

Erin had to get up to "eye level" with Mateo....

visit with the higgins'!

We LOVE to have company and were so excited when the Higgins' came to visit us right after labor day. (Sorry so late on uploading the pic's!) Thanks for visiting, Rich, Melissa, and Adam!
