Pics From MS

Upon arriving in MS, we headed for Great Granddaddy Claude's.














After a lovely visit, we went to the annual crawfish boil in Smith County.













and Brian got to ride dirt bikes.

After a few days in Maryland, we headed for Mobile, Alabama...













After spending a couple days in Mobile, where Chase played with Yei Yei and Nee Nee...



















We headed out to Mobile Bay to scatter Grand Daddy Herbert's ashes. But first, we stopped at the Bragg-Mitchell, where we held our wedding reception over 10 years ago! I really wanted a picture with the girls!













after a couple minutes waiting on the dock, we boarded Uncle Mark's paddle boat and set course for the bay...







































































































Pics From MD

So we started our baby tour in Maryland, where we introduced Madoc to Grandpa Jim, Grandma Dorthy, Uncle Mike and Janet, Uncle Shawn and Elizabeth, Aunt Michele and - my mom, who flew out to bury her mother's ashes with her husband, my Grandfather Victor Skinner. Here we are going to Baltimore's BYOD (bring your own dog) show.














Chase loved Grampa Jim's screen door. She didn't really get the picture that she wasn't supposed to lean on it.














Here's Chase with Grandma Dorthy (her Great Gran).














Me and Grandma...














My relatives encouraging Chase to play with fire.














Mom and Grandma...














My dear Grampa...














Auntie M...














And of course UNCLE MIKE, who Chase could simply not get enough of!














I kick myself for not taking pictures when we drove Mary The Great's ashes to rest. I have a small video that I may post - if I can figure out how to do it.
