Trip to Missouri

Reagan Family Gathering and 5 Generations

Last week Isaac and I made a trip to Missouri to visit with extended family. He tolerated the trip so well - especially considering he had a bit of a cold when we left and a full blown ear infection by the time we got home. Because he got sick while we were there, we didn't get to visit as much as we would have liked, but we still had a great time. Mom and Dad met us there, so Isaac got to meet my dad for the first time. He loved stealing Dad's hat, and then pulling his hair! Of course, I think Grandpa loved every minute!

We spent Friday evening with Dad's side of the family. I can't believe how many kids we have in our family! Wow! Sometimes it's weird. It seems like just yesterday we were the kids...time flies.

On Friday and Saturday afternoons we went to visit Isaac's great-great-grandma Rachel. She was thrilled to meet him, and he thought she was wonderful! I love the pictures of the two of them together! Mom and Pop went with us on Saturday, so we were able to snap a quick five-generation picture while we were there.

Saturday evening we spent with Mom's family. We enjoyed the visit, but I didn't take as many pictures as I would have like since Isaac got really sick that night. We spent all day Sunday just trying to keep his fever down, and trying to make him comfortable.

Despite being sick, Isaac was so good on the return flight. At the airport and on the plane he charming every person within a 10 foot radius of anywhere we happened to be. Overall, it was a nice visit. Thanks to all the family for making time to visit with us. Hopefully no one will get sick the next time we visit, and we'll get to spend more time with you!
