Silas got to play with his Grandpa Bob during our trip to Chapel Hill. We also baked two cakes to celebrate Silas's upcoming birthday, Zoe's upcoming birthday and Grandma and Grandpa's 40th wedding anniversary. Grandma Bobbye helped Silas blow out his candle.

Silas got to meet his Great Great Uncle Si for the first time during our visit to Philadelphia. He also got to meet his second cousins Barry, Jeff and Michael, and his Great Aunt Ellen. Everyone loved him and I took lots of pictures. You can find them on our flickr site here. Below are a couple of pics from the day. First is Silas with his Cousin Quinn, then Silas with me and his Grandma Bobbye, and finally Silas with his Great Great Uncle Si.

We all had so much fun together for Thanksgiving, though we really tried to cram a lot in to our last full day together and things got a little stressful at times. Overall, it was still a fabulous day.

So, we started out with brunch at Pamela's


The women + Silas then went to REI and bought some hats...


Then it was back to the house for leftovers and turkey soup, and a little more quality family time.

The day after Thanksgiving was a lazy day of hanging out at the Grandparents hotel all day, spending quality time together as a family. This is the only Silas photo I managed to take all day.

Grandma Bobbye went home today. Before she left she finished making Silas his very own hand-knit bear.

















After we took Grandma to the airport, we stopped at Steak 'n' Shake where Eric introduced Silas to the pleasures of a vanilla milkshake.












Then we spent a little time wandering around IKEA... it was a very full day.

Eric's brother Brian and his wife Cheri bought us the 'Snap 'n' Go' stroller for Silas. Here is Eric taking Silas out on his first walk in the stroller.

















My mom (Grandma Bobbye) came to Pittsburgh today. She is staying until the 22nd. Eric caught her first reaction to meeting Silas.
