The Prodigal Granddaughter

A number of pix from Bryony's first trip to the D.C. area to see the maternal relatives...we had a great time getting spoiled by everyone! There are quite a few pix here (I had a hard time not posting ALL of them, they're so precious!), so you might pace yourself. Thanks to all the relatives and friends who worked to make this visit so wonderful for us. It was such a delight to introduce my daughter to you all!
Much love,
Lauren



At the airport, Bryony is looking out of the Baby Bjorn...she was EXCELLENT on both legs of the trip, and we had such good seatmates to help us along!



First shot of Aunt Tyuana and Cousin Alex meeting "My Bry-ny" (as he called her all weekend). He was shy but ever so excited...so were we!!



Alex was so loving and gentle with his wee cousin...he offered her goldfish crackers and fruit snacks and wanted to share all his toys with her. One day the two of them will love these pix...



After a long day out and about, the cousins crash while thunderstorms raged outside...



Uncle Walt and Bryony



Alex and Bryony enjoying each other's company



Grandma (or MoMa as Alex calls her, or Marmee as Bryony will call her) with her grandkids








Lauren with her two favorite kids



Aunt Shantz makes wee Bryony giggle!



Bryony with Marmee and Aunt Nella



Bryony and Aunt Daniela...so THAT'S where all those curly dark locks came from!!!



"Travellin' is old hat to me, y'all"



"I'm so bored!"



Visiting with Mum's oldest friend, Aunt Katie, and her kids...here is a pic of Bryony with Baby Lucy, who was born exactly one month before Bryony. These girls will be just as close friends as their mums...and we didn't even put them up to holding hands!!



Bryony chillin' out in the Bumbo..



Aunt Katie and Lucy surprised us with a sling while we were in town! This worked out incredibly well for the flights home, as she was able to stay in the sling during the trip. Thanks Katie and Lucy!!!



We couldn't leave Virginia without getting a little lovin' time with Uncle Jake!
