Well, we recently came back from New Mexico where we were able to visit with many of Eddie's family members. Eddie's mom and dad had a family soire this past Sunday full of tons of food and family. Devon and Nathan were able to meet with many cousins, aunts, uncles, great aunts and great uncles. This was the first time that the extended family met our 9 month old Nathan and many had not seen Devon since she was very little. It was so much fun.
Devon's great-aunt Stella knitted Devon and Nathan beautiful blankets and Devon has not let hers go since Sunday. In fact, she took it to pre-school today as her nap blanket. I think that blanket may even accompany her to college someday. This is Aunt Stella and Uncle Luis
We especially appreciated the time we spent with Eddie's grandmother, Grandma T. Many of you may not know, but Grandma T has been battling Alzheimer's disease for several years. As expected with this disease, she has progressively been getting worse and now does not recognize us at all. It was hearbreaking to know that just last year she was able to carry on a conversation with us and still recognized most of us, but now the disease has the best of her. However, she is well cared for by her granddaughter, Tina (Eddie's older sister) and her family. She smiled whenever Nathan was around and even said that Devon was cute. Devon was sure to give her great grandma lots of hugs before our visit was over.
Devon and Nathan had the most fun with their cousins Andrew and Matthew, who were able to spend the night with us on Monday. The four cousins kept each other busy all day and night. Can you see the family resemblance?
The trip was so much fun, but it went by too fast.
