Summer visit with family

It was so nice to get up to Pennsylvania for Patrick's first real trek out of Baltimore. Here is the welcoming committee, complete with LOTS of aunts ready to hold Patrick (after his diaper change, of course).

Later, Aunt Ellie reads a story to Thomas and Liam. Reading books to them is never a simple matter of just reading the words, though. One must be prepared to answer their every question and query about the whys and wherefores behind the book. Aunt Ellie does a very good job of that, as you can see below.
Aunt Dorothy especially enjoys spoiling the babies with kisses and love!
Above: Aunt Mary Beth holds Patrick like a professional! Look at those smiles!
Below: Patrick looks up in astonishment as he realizes he has soiled Grandma's lovely red and white apron with the would-be contents of his diaper, honey to a mother, and, lucky for him, a grandmother as well!
