Our Trip to PA

So last week we took a trip to PA, since Jason had the week off because of Mass. school vacation. Our first stop was to Williamsport to spend the night at our friends, Matt and Amy Weigle's house. Then we went to our old church in Jersey Shore, PA (Lifetree church), went to dinner with the Pastor and his family and then visited some of our old neighbors from South Williamsport. All in all, this part of trip was so enjoyable, and we got to catch up with SO many great friends that we miss dearly already! However, we didn't take a single picture on this leg of the trip (go figure.) But it was great fun. Then we headed to York to visit Val's family after that. Grammy and Pops threw a dessert party for Caleb, so other family members and friends could visit and meet him for the first time. We are so thankful we got the opportunity to see a lot of people we haven't seen in a while there too (and we missed seeing those of you who couldn't make it because of work, illness, etc.) So to make a long story short, we took a TON of pictures in York, so a bunch are posted below (bear with me here!)

Caleb's cute cake

Nana Gow's first time meeting Caleb (and what a cool 4 generations shot this was too!)



Pops and friends (Tammy and Mike) from Nutec


Mrs. Bride holding Caleb


Aunt Ann with Caleb (she's one of Val's Godmother's too)


Uncle Harry holding Caleb (Pops' twin in case you couldn't tell :)


Aunt Mary with Caleb


Aunt Sue with Caleb (Val's other Godmother...she had a cold and wanted to make sure Caleb didn't catch it! She's so sweet!)


Uncle Roge with Caleb


Pops put his little Red Sox helmet on him...he wasn't a fan!


Nana Gow feeding Caleb


A fun family shot!


Some of the yummy desserts!


Mrs. Craven and her daughter Katie stopped by (fun fact...I used to babysit Katie when she was little...how crazy is that?)


Mrs. Melhorn holding a sleepy Caleb


Mrs. Gerstmyer holding Caleb (she's a pro now, as her son Drew just had his first baby Katie, Mrs. Gerstmyer's first grandchild)


Uncle Roy also came to visit!


A 3 generations photo-op


Uncle Matt feeding Caleb for the first time

Pops reading to Caleb


Caleb exhausted from all the fun, napping in the bassinet (lent to him by Aunt Ann/Sue Ann...it's been a family tradition to have all of the grandchildren sleep in it and sign the bottom...Courtney's been in it, Katrina was next, and now Caleb!)


This was a picture from the next day when Jason and I were leaving to go on a date. Grammy and Pops babysat and gave us a night out!


And finally, this was a cute shot we took when Uncle Matt was leaving. Ok...Caleb was also upset because he was hungry...but he also really hates saying goodbye to Uncle Matt too :)

Sigh. It makes me wish that we could have made it. When are you going to be back down?
