Back in early September while I was still on maternity leave, I took Grant back to VA to visit his grandparents and meet all of our friends! We have amazing friends who all wanted the opportunity to meet G - many of them drove home for a one night party :) Thanks to you all! Matt couldn't believe how many people were going to meet Grant and decided to nickname our trip "Grantfest". Ha!
G had his first airline trip. We arrived at the airport WAY too early thanks to my worrying about travels with a newborn. We were not headed to Kansas City as the screen suggests. That flight took off 2 hours before ours.
People were pretty friendly and helpful at the airport when they saw me traveling alone with a baby. Strangers stopped to ask about him and give him smiles. However, all that friendliness stopped when they saw me headed for their flight. Looks of terror on their faces as I come lumbering down the aisle with 2 huge bags plus a baby strapped on. Lucky for us all he slept the whole time :)
Sweet Lizzie picked us up at the airport and gave us a ride down to VA :) We had a chance to spend a few hours with her that way!
Stella kept watch over baby G on the ride :)
We had a few visitors our first morning in Lynchburg....
I can't believe how big Worth has gotten!! Seems like he was just born and he is about to turn 1 year old already...
We spent some time with Bubbie :)
The grandparents got in a little time before we headed out to our first Grantfest event...
Then we headed out to Kate's house where a bunch of people met and held Grant (pictures follow).
Hadyn is one of Matt's best and oldest friends. These 2 share the same bday - a special bond :) Crazy how that works out.
Yes that's me...nope that's not my baby! I also had the chance to meet the sweet babes that belong to 2 of my friends from high school!
All together now :)
Had enough pics of people holding Grant? How about one of him napping :) Doesn't he look comfy?
Our next stop was back to Richmond to stay with Sarah and Katherine :) Eabs stopped by to say hi!
K is such a big girl!
Grant had fun with Katherine's toys :)
Beautiful!
Friends :) Could it get any cuter?! We did not stage the hand holding...I promise.
There is something so wonderful about holding your friend's baby. SO glad I had the chance to see them!
G also spent lots of time with his other grandparents!! He is so loved :)
His grandma wanted all her friends to have the chance to meet him so she held a "sip and see" at her house :) He was the center of attention (well him plus his grandpa as you will see below)!
Ha!
Grant also found some new toys at the baby consignment sale...he's such a big boy!
A bit more time with Bubbie and Doc before we headed home...
6 days went so fast! Back to VT we went...
Someone was very happy to see us....
Whew! Made it!
