Meeting more family

Although Addie is now 15 months old, she still hasn't met all of her close extended family (extended family being aunts, uncles, and great-grandparents), but she is closer than she has ever been. This past weekend, we decided to take a quick trip up to Richmond, VA to visit Addie's great-grandpa, P.D. Snead, whom she had never met. While we were there, Uncle Josh drove down from D.C. to meet Addie for the first time as well. Unfortunately, Aunt Amy was not able to come down with Uncle Josh (hope you're feeling better, Amy!), so she is the last remaining family still needing to meet Addie. Like I said, it was a quick trip, but we are glad we went.

This is Daddy, Uncle Josh, and Addie putting flags at Addie's great-grandma's grave:
Out to dinner and some ice cream:

Addie has recently been a bit fearful of any men other than her Daddy. But, Uncle Josh was an exception. Apparently, he was just too much fun for Addie to be afraid of him. She really enjoyed playing with Uncle Josh!

Addie was a trooper on this trip. We drove about 900 miles in 2 and a half days, which was a lot for us, let alone for Addie. There was no way to prepare her for how much time she was going to spend in her car seat, but she did really well. She did not sleep much in her carseat-apparently those days have passed...unless she is so exhausted she can't help but close her eyes, which is what happened on the drive back home on Sunday.
