Grand Rapids, Michigan-home away from home

Jack and I boarded a plane this morning for his first plane ride, met up with mom in Atlanta, and headed to Michigan!  I asked the stewardess for some wings, but no luck-she said they don't offer those anymore.  He was a complete angel during both flights making his mommy so proud!

My parents both grew up in Grand Rapids, so we spent many Christmases and summers up here.  It's so special to me to bring Jack to see this wonderful place, not to mention to meet my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins!

Grandma Great could not WAIT to get her hands on this little boy, and he did not disappoint-he gave her some smiles pretty quickly!

Grandpa Great got some snuggles, too!  This is who Jack got his middle name from-I know he'll learn a lot from grandpa in these few days we'll spend together!  

Jack loved all the attention from Aunt Libby and the girls-Abby, Sylvie, and Lisi!  Sylvie even got out of school a tad early to come over and meet the little man!

Her boys were all busy tonight, so Aunt Nancy made a solo trip to meet Jack.  Aunt Nancy, I think you have the boy touch {she has three of her own!}-he talked up a storm when you were holding him!

Our fun in Grand Rapids has just begun, and we're super excited to be here!  We miss Mark tons already, but know he's in good hands, too!  We hope you're having a great time at the beach, babe-see you soon!
