We always run up to Minnesota in the summer and winter to visit the family.  This year the main reason for going was because our daughter was having our second grandchild.  The baby turned out to be a boy!

6 pounds 14 oz.  20 ½ inches long.  He was a keeper :).

Of course the first grandson was thrilled to be shoved to the back row of mom’s attention 

Your days of chillin on the river are done for this year, you little Pirate :).

And the dog was like 

Whoa is me, now I am really the last man on the totem pole :(, and I had brown eyes first!

While we were there, both mom and dad did a great job making sure they passed out just enough attention to keep everyone happy.  Of course we were there to step in if someone needed a bottle,  someone needed someone to play with them or if someone needed an extra scratch behind the ears.

We were sad to leave but we knew we’d be back in less than 6 months for another visit.
