The loooong weekend

So, as a (sort of) last minute trip, we flew to Michigan Thursday morning. My uncle had been in the hospital and was not doing well (more on that later). It was the first time for David to meet much of my family & Madelyn's first time to meet everyone.
"NO, you CAN'T get a picture of my tooth Daddy!"

Madelyn meeting her cousin Roxas for the 1st time. He's about a month & a half younger.

The fountain inside the VA hospital. Probably the nicest VA I've ever seen.

Poor passed out baby...she was really so good on the trip. Staying at the hospital ~8 hours/day, getting taken everywhere, going to bed at midnight...and barely fussed (other than when the tooth broke through).

Madelyn Jewel playing on the trampoline.


Saturday, we drove out to Jeddo where my aunt & uncle live.

The cabin - really cool, has a tree in the middle of the house. All built by hand.

We stopped back by Port Huron on the way back.

Pictures of Canada.


The bridge to Canada



This was just plain funny....especially since my cousin (who was with us) is named Scott.


Saturday night, we had a family dinner at Olive Garden. Wow there were a lot of people there!

Madelyn was the focus of everyone's affection! Here she is with my cousin Rob's kids Mckenzie & Haley, and Rick's son Jackson.

Tim, my cousins' dad, was kind enough to invite us over for dinner Sunday evening. We had a great time!

Madelyn LOVED my cousin Scott, especially the beard.

Girl time!

Play with the baby!

Madelyn & my cousin Diane.

Madelyn was soooo good on the plane! I prefer the large ones...this one only held 50.

Daddy playing with our bijou at the airport. We waited for my dad to get in & give him a ride back. He was sherberting her neck & she laughed like crazy!

We have toothage! Now just hoping I won't get bit...
