This was my father's first time meeting his grandson. It was touching for us to witness the introduction. And some resemblance, too. At the very least, they share eye-color....dark blue.
Mom, Jennifer, and Hugo. Hugo got to meet most of my immediate family, including Auntie Mary Ellen and Uncle Harold, Auntie Cindy, Auntie Nancy (below) and Uncle Peter, Auntie Leigh Anne and Uncle Dennis (whose son is working in the Arctic!), Auntie Linda and Uncle Larry (soon to be grandparents themselves), Cousins Scott, Sean and his wife, Jordan (expecting). I think that was everyone. We wanted to thank you all for visiting, it was great to see you.
We also had the pleasure of visiting/staying with my wife's brother, Jarek, sister-in-law, Isabella, and sons, Daniel and Julian (also Hugo's uncle, auntie, and cousins). While we were there, we attended Daniel's confirmation...Congratulations! (which is why Daniel is pictured in shirt, tie, and holy felt flames of God pinned to his chest). And Jarek's 41st birthday. Incidentally, it was also Jennifer's sister (and Jarek's twin sister), Joanna's birthday as well. We would have visited with her but, alas, she's half a globe away in Australia. At the moment we are hatching half-baked schemes to get these sisters together someday.
Hugo also got to meet his Auntie CarrieLynne and Uncle Cary. So great to see them. We hope to see more of them when we visit next
Got a chance to see my old friends Krista and Mark, and their family. They have two other kids, who are not pictured as we couldn't get them to sit still long enough for a 5 second picture. Just imagine that from this picture, to the right, your right, is a boy (5) and girl (3) tearing all over the driveway and neighborhood on bikes, scooters, wagons, feet (also, mud pies were made). It made Hugo tired just watching them go go go. Their youngest son is pictured, he's 1.
We'll post more pictures and video a bit later. 'Til then, cheers.
