Uncles and Aunts
People have been coming from far and wide to see Alden. It's nice that they make the trek. As many of you know, Chestertown is not exactly on the beaten path.
The other night, just after midnight, we were in bed, about to go to sleep, when we heard Iggy barking crazily from the porch. Since Iggy is known to bark crazily at leaves blowing across the yard, we didn't immediately assume the worst. Still, since Iggy seemed bent on continuing to bark, Robbi went downstairs to investigate. When she came back up a few minutes later, she was accompanied by a surprise visitor.
Uncle Roji had flown in from San Francisco for a surprise baby visit.
It's a long way to come to see a baby. We were so pleased.
As I've already mentioned, Aunt Gina and Uncle King came to visit about a week ago.
Gina was intrepid in her baby care, nimbly navigating the twin challenges of the Snugli and the "Norwegian Excursion" at the local coffee shop.
Later, she and Grandpa John teamed up to teach Alden a thing or two about football.
Auntie Maiko, denizen of Vancouver, has visited twice already in the course of Alden's short life, but I currently lack the photos to prove it.
Alden still has a number of aunts and uncles to meet.
Aunt Courtney is in Missouri applying to PA programs and has not had a free moment to meet the baby.
Aunt Andy is in Haiti doing good for the world. (Read about all the goodness here.)
Uncle Alex is at Fort Benning protecting the country. (To see how swell he looks in uniform, click here.)
And Aunt Lindsay is three weeks shy of making me an uncle. (Click here for some outstanding belly shots.) I'm really looking forward to it.
