the paternal side

we were lucky enough to also have a visit from grandpa, grandma and uncle on dad's side. the similarity between grandmas was, at times, uncanny - "she's super cute!" "look at all her of adorable facial expressions!" and, of course, their irresistible urge to hold bryn. grandpa preferred adoration from afar (ok, one couch cushion over), but proved to be a natural anyway.


uncle aaron got in a little practice before his own bundle of joy arrives this summer. he kept suggesting maybe he was too bony for bryn's taste, but i say babies smell fear. and we have photo evidence to the contrary.

di was invited to give two readings from her novel, the protest. for those of you in our area, we have a few more copies of this acclaimed book!

and, sadly, dad had to return to work shortly after the end of the visit. but, that does mean no more late-night diaper changes for him. we'll commemorate dad's babymoon with the following:

Looks like Aaron has mastered the newborn-photo-shoot look! Those two look awfully cuddly! Grandpa Ernie will get the hang of it soon...I'm sure he's loving it.
