We are back home now after traveling to H-town to visit my family! It was so much fun to see my parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and finally meeting our niece--who is just 2 wks 2 days younger than our little guy!! The kids did awesome on the drive, both there and back. Hubby changed the seat arrangements in the back, and Kateli enjoyed much more being able to see out of the front window, rather than the boring view of the back of daddy's seat. We didn't do a whole lot, but relaxed tons. The grandparents, I think, really enjoyed their time with all the grandkids together. My dad got lots of good shots of the kids, and I practiced using my new SLR. I have a lot to learn, but I got quite a few tips from my dad while we were home. He uses the D200, which is very similar to mine (except mine is a step or two down from his :) ).
Our New Year's day celebration consisted of a get together that my brother had planned for us and a few friends. He grilled out and we had fun visiting with some people that we had not seen in a while--however, with all the talking and catching up, we didn't get the camera out for many pics....I'll have to post some of the great shots that my dad got at midnight, New Year's :).
Here are some of the pics that we got while on our vacation at home....
