Trip Home to Michigan...

We finally arrived in Michigan late that evening (Wed, Nov. 11) with a total travel time of about 21 hours straight from England.  It was a really long day and we were exhausted!  Surprisingly, Kaelyn hung in there and did really good adjusting to everything.  This was her first time to meet all of Robert's family in Michigan.  Robert's Dad and his brother Ryan where at the airport waiting for us and she got to meet the rest of the family when we got to Robert's parent's house.  Here are some pictures of them first meeting her and holding her...

Kaelyn meeting her Grandma and Great Grandma for the first time.

Needless to say, she was very spoiled!  They had everything waiting for us when we got there... she had a new bed to sleep in, a swing (that she liked way better than the one at our house), a play activity mat, a bath tub, and a walker.  We were all set to go.  Here is a picture of Uncle Ryan playing with her in her walker...

Look at my new shoes that Uncle Ryan got for me...

They are Mom's favorite... she even wants a pair for herself!  :)

Grandpa has been learning how to play the guitar for a while now and he decided to play and sing me a song...

Daddy took us shopping and we found this really cool Michigan bike that he wants to get me one day.  Mommy says a Georgia one would be better!  :)  Take a look...

Kaelyn got to meet so many new people while we were home.  Here are some pictures of her with our good friends Nick, Kate, Brandon and Krista...

We'll see you guys next year for your wedding!!

Kaelyn got even more spoiled because we celebrated Christmas early with Robert's family, so she got lots of goodies to bring home.  Here are some pictures of us having our early Christmas...

Stevie passed out all the presents to everybody.

Here are some of the presents that Kaelyn got...

A Michigan cheerleading outfit.

Grandma and Grandpa got her a Harley Tool kit with little toy tools inside.

Robert's Uncle Mike finally got his GA shirt from us that he had been wanting so bad... see I'm gonna convert them all!  :)

We're Leaving on a Jet Plane...

We left England to go home and visit family and friends on November 11th.  So this was Kaelyn's first time on an airplane and she did great!!  We were so worried about how she would do... so of course we booked seats in the very back of the plane, trying to be courteous of others.  We actually lucked out because we had only two seats by the window and the flight attendant offered us the entire back row since it was vacant.  Needless to say, it was a life saver sitting in a 3 seat row versus a 2 seat row.  We had a ton more room and Kaelyn got to have her very own seat in the middle.  She slept majority of the time, including the take off and landing.  We were flying to Detroit to visit with Robert's family first, but had a layover in Atlanta.  Yep that's right, Kaelyn's first state was Georgia... so doesn't that definitely make her a GA Girl now!?!  :)  Anyway, here are a few pictures of Kaelyn's first flight and us going through Atlanta to make our connection to Detroit...

Some Baby Pampering...

We attended a Baby Massage Class back on November 6th and really learned a lot of neat stuff.  Kaelyn did great- I have to brag for a minute... she was the only baby out of all 7 that did not cry!  She's so good!  :) Anyway, I think that she really enjoyed it!  Here are a few pictures of our time in the massage class...

Getting ready to get started.

Robert is such a good Daddy... he was the only guy to show up for the class! The instructor didn't want him to feel left out, so she gave him a little doll to practice on... he named him William. :)

Robert and William

Kaelyn was very interested in the doll.

She was so relaxed!

Having fun with Daddy at the end of class!

A lot of Catching Up To Do...

We haven't forgotten about our blog for those of you that were wondering why we haven't posted anything new in a while.  We are just a little behind right now from going home for a month, having the holidays and other things that seem to distract us and get in the way.  But I am working on getting things up, so hopefully we will be all caught up soon.  So keep checking back...
