Weekend with the Family

This past weekend I made the trip back home to the greater Pittsburgh area to spend some time with the family. I celebrated my birthday a week early, and my brother went to his homecoming dance... of course I had to be there to tease and taunt.

A bunch of my family members came down to visit (including that baby!) on Saturday and I took a lot of pictures, obviously. Here are the faves:

I miss Grommit!!!


Aunt Freddie and Grandma trapped me on the couch


Grandma with baby Maura!


Maura was not feelin' the pumpkin hat


She was a little unsure after the hat incident...


...and then she passed out. (ps- baby jeans!)


If you ever thought I was weird, you can see where I get it from


While Maura napped we paid attention to the other baby of the family


Time for everyone to get a photo... even Maura



I even got one, too


Aunt Freddie and Uncle Jim rockin' the 'his & hers' sweaters


...and finally me with Pappy and Grandma

Very fun time at home! It was great to see the family and hear how loud we all get when we're together. Nothing beats having the dog howl relentlessly while we sing Happy Birthday. Now I'm back in the city that never sleeps, but I am definitely looking forward to my next trip home for the holidays.
