Meet the Cousins

We arrived home from a special Saturday night date to find Graham fast asleep in his swing alongside his three adoring - and equally tired - cousins, who were spread out across the bonus room floor with their pillow pets and blankets. It was one of many times this weekend that I wore a smile as our baby boy enjoyed his first moments with Aunt Michele, Uncle Pete, Lindsay, Madelyn, and Emily.

Here are some of the highlights in photos:

After some initial shyness, the girls showered Graham with hugs, kisses, and lots of attention. They even helped out on diaper and babysitting duties.

Saturday morning meant breakfast at Rick's Diner followed by YMCA basketball. The whole crew attended the Leprechauns' game on team picture day.

After everyone enjoyed a full day of Wii, outside games (Hide 'n Go Seek and trash can basketball were favorites), and a trip to Chick-Fil-A, Aunt Michele and Uncle Pete allowed the new parents a much appreciated night out in Chapel Hill. Knowing that Graham was in good hands, we enjoyed dinner at Spanky's followed by a trip to Caribou Coffee.

As usual, the weekend passed much too quickly. After church, breakfast at Mama Dips, and another quick game of trash can basketball, we gathered out front for some Sunday afternoon photos. It's become something of a tradition to take photos in front of the house. Boy how things change!

Just the guys.

All smiles.

Thanks for visiting, Taylor Team 5. We loved having you in North Carolina to meet Graham.
