The Taylors Come to Visit

A few weekends back, Grandmother, Grandad, and the Taylor Prospers made a trip to Fort Worth to get some baby lovin'. Grandmother had her camera and caught some great moments on camera. Enjoy....

Baby Maddie gives Henry a kiss on the forehead....or is she sucking on him...haha....not sure
My beautiful sister and her bundle of joy

Maddie in 'airplane' mode with her Dad. Funny tidbit is that Max did this maneuever with her at the restaurant later this same night and she spit up into his open mouth (his mouth was open b/c he was talking and smiling at her)

Second cousins Allison and Abby and Great Grandmother Taylor

A fine set of ladies.....plus handsome Henry

Maddie is performing and Henry says, 'wazzup'

In the infamous words of celebrities on MTV Cribs...Henry says, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Peace out.

Labor Day

This Labor Day, we set out to visit all of the grandparents...this included Georgetown, Austin and Garden Ridge.

The fun began on Thursday where Misty, Tim, the babies and I left for Georgetown (Max wasn't able to make it until Friday when he got off work). Below is a video of us leaving the house. Needless to say we had a packed car and one adult was always stuck in between two babies...sometimes it was a peaceful seat and sometimes it was not. Take a peek for yourself.

Of course we had to make a quick pit stop before really hitting the road to fill-up the car with gas.

Labor Day Fun continued

Full car!

The weekend started at Dad and Natalia's where we hung out and started our Labor Day fun.

Maddie and Grandad...Hook 'Em

Henry is such a poser.

On Saturday, we made a stop in Austin to visit Max's great aunt's and uncle's.....on his Mom's side. We were treated to an afternoon of delightful Iranian cuisine and of course good company.Niki, Max's sister, likes polaroid cameras. I took pictures of her pictures.

Sibling love.

Sweet Uncle Alex looks like such a natural.....wait, no it's awkward

Part of the weekend was spent at my mom's where we had a house-load of people...including Maddie's Great Grandma and Papa and Great Aunt Marcella

She's Rummi...no doubt...put that last card down Maddie and go out

So glad Niki was able to come over after work

Dining out....Greek style

Maddie would like to speak to the chef about the stale pita while Mimi tries to console.
