Ryan & Ashley's Visit plus a little "pomp and circumstance"

When Braeden was almost 3 weeks old, Ryan (Heidi's bro) and Ashley (Ryan's soon-to-be bride) came over from Lee to see their new nephew. Here are a few pics of the sweet meeting. Oh and I can't forget to mention little Chanel who also wanted to meet her new "nephew", too!
































Then, during the first weekend in May, Braeden went on his first road trip to see his Uncle Ryan graduate from Lee. (Mommy feels sooooo old!) It was Braeden's first time meeting his Mimi and Granddad Miller, Grandma and PopPop Pearsall, Ashley's mom, and some of mommy and daddy's college friends. He did amazingly on the trip and was a big hit with everyone! As a surprise to Uncle Ryan, Braeden sported an airbrush t-shirt that read: "Congrats, Uncle Ryan!" Of course, we took pictures.

Several "Firsts"

Here are several pictures of Braeden's firsts including:
1st sponge bath, bath in cool new bath tub, 1st doctor visit, road trip/time seeing Granddad &
Mimi, 1st walk,
and 1st time at church.

On to Virginia

After our visit with Matt's family, we headed down to be with my family in Winchester, VA. (Just a quick story...for those of you who don't know, my mom and dad were actually visiting us the week before Braeden was born and had to leave for work-related reasons on the day I was induced! I know, so sad!) This was actually their second time to see Braeden since they were able to visit with him briefly at my brother's graduation in May. Just like our visit to PA, it was very surreal to see my mom and dad hold my little baby boy. Mom, Dad, Grandma, PopPop, and Aunt Avie- thank you for taking great care of us during our visit! Much love!
