Meeting the Kentucky Family----Sept. 13, 2008

We went to Kentucky to meet the great-grandparents! Here is Jack with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Wooton from Madisonville....and baby Claire from Huntsville!!

Jack is wearing his new pajamas from his cousin, Lucy! She just outgrew them, and we are thankful for these Titan threads!!
Sweet eye contact!! :)

Here is Jack with Great Grandmother Amy.....she lives right across the road from my mom and dad's house. I have waited a long time for my sweet grandparents to look into the eyes of my child! Finally, that day arrived!!
My Aunt Lois was so excited to meet Jack! She has done so much behind-the-scenes work on Jack's behalf! She was in charge of the fund that made it possible for us to pay for our adoption!!

Here is Russ, Uncle Tom, Aunt Lois, and Karen.........Finally meeting Jack!!
Here are the cousins closest in age......Lucy, Jack, and Claire!
Four Generations of family who has been rocked in this rocking chair!
Whoa! Lots of cousins!! (And Austin and Arianna aren't even here!!) Lucy, John David, Jack, Luke, Anna, Catherine, and Claire! Sweet Catherine helped me feed Jack on Sunday morning before they headed home. We were hoping to go to church, but the power went out just as we were about to take showers!!

Hurricane Ike was blowing through! We didn't get much rain, but the wind REALLY blew! It blew Grandmother's antenna in half, curled some of the tin on Dad's shed, and blew over lots of corn! We were disappointed not to be able to go to church! We were hoping to see several friends who have waited so long to meet Jack. We will be back soon for a baby shower!!


Baby Jack in the antique cradle.....Grandma is rocking him.
Aunt Jen and Uncle Al came by after church (they went!!) to say goodbye to us!
Uncle Al and Jonathan were excited to see Jack in his Titans suit!! Go Titans!!


Time to go home!! (There is no electicity here!!) We have to get home to see the game tonight!!
Mom and Dad didn't get power back until the next morning!!

Great pictures, Julie!!! My picture of all the cousins didn't turn out nearly so good as yours! Maybe I can get a copy from you when you're here....of course I'm sure we'll be getting a new one complete with Ariana and Austin!!!!

Love the pictures and the commentary! I think the pictures show, as much as possible, how much our family loves Jack and how happy we are for you and Jonathan. You, and we, are blessed beyond measure!
Love, Mom
