Leaving on a Jet Plane

This past week and weekend, Andrew, my mom and I went to St. Joesph, Missouri to see family. We had a great time. Here are some pictures from that trip.

Andrew patiently waiting to go to the airport. He wore his monkey pj's and the special monkey slippers.
Playing with his special air plane toy, a camera. Waiting to take off.

Andrew was the first great grandchild to sit in the antique high chair. We ate lots of good food.


Oh how Andrew loved the stairs. He learned how to climb up a whole flight. We never quite mastered the going down.

VICTORY and pure joy, reaching the top!

Andrew discovered some toys he had never seen. There were lots of girl toys Andrew had never seen before. We would try to put the baby doll in the stroller and he would throw her on the ground.

There were lots of pretty tulips in the yard.

This is what Andrew did about 20 times a day. "Cat Hunt" he would chase the inside cats, trying to pet them. They didn't want to be petted. So they would run for refuge down to the basement.
Here Andrew would watch them escape to safety.

However Goldie the outside cat love the attention from the little man.

Andrew loves to lay his head down on the Goldie, because his fur was so soft. Andrew also does this a lot to Decker, and Decker lets him because Andrew shares his snacks with her, the friendship has formed.

The cats at the Kirby office liked the attention as well. Here Andrew is petting Rusty and playing with a Kirby attachment at the same time.

Trying out a new model.

Andrew loved playing peekaboo with Great, Great Uncle Pude.

At the Kirby office with Great Grandpa.

Enjoying a rare moment of sunshine in the backyard with Mimi and great Gramma. It rained most of the time we were there.

Sunday morning before church, even with only 1 child in the picture, it still proved to be impossible to get a good picture of everyone. So these are the best we got.

We had a great time in Missouri. We also got to see my cousin Kinsey in a play at her college. She is quite the actress.
