East Side

Last week found us in Weirton, West Virginia, my dad's hometown about 30 minutes outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Kai took his first plane ride and did wonderfully. He behaved just as he does on solid ground, only fusses when he is tired or hungry, so we kept him well fed and snuggled him and he slept most of the way there.


In addition to lots of Papou (my dad) time, my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Jim hosted a little gathering of family who came from in town, Baltimore, and across Ohio to meet little Kai. It was great to catch up with all the family. As you can see from the photo below, catching up involved a little bit o' Ouzo. Sheesh!My cousin Marcie has a little boy Stelliano (yes, very Greek) who is six months old. The boys will no doubt find themselves running around family reunions together like Marcie and I once did. For now they slept side by side.

We've also started taking photos once a month of Kai to document all the changes in his first year. This month we added Papou to the mix too. Notice the family resemblance? No hair and blue eyes. :-)


It's hard to believe he's already 10 weeks old! We're back home for the 4th and enjoying all the beauty and wonderful weather that this town has to offer. Sigh, it was a good trip, but it is good to be home.
