We travelled to Pittsburgh over the 4th of July holiday weekend to visit with Mike's family and during our trip Anna was finally able to meet someone VERY special, her Grandpa Kelly, aka Grand-pap. Mike's father has been dealing with some medical issues since last November and hadn't been able to travel to meet his sweet baby granddaughter yet. I'd seen him with children on several occasions, and outside of seeing what fine young men he raised, knew he'd be a wonderful Grandpa to Anna. Of course he'd seen plenty of pictures and heard all about her from the rest of the family, but there's nothing like an in-person snuggle to bring it home.
Needless to say, we had a wonderful visit ... Anna was cuddled to her heart's content, was royally spoiled by many Kelly family members and (maybe most importantly) learned a few valuable lessons about dishwasher organization while we were there. She loves her Grand-pap and can't wait to see him again very soon!

"I heart Grandpa" says her shirt ... chatting it up about the drive moments after arriving ...
"I went through two new states today, Grand-pap, it was soooo much fun!" |
 |
| Grand-pap turned out to be the Baby Whisperer and soothed Anna to dreamland for a few hours |
 |
| "So, you're telling me that one day you may let me change the channels?!?" |
 |
| She's one of the first that's been allowed to sit in Grand-pap's chair ... |

| "I love visiting Grandma and Grand-pap!!" |
