Mak meets his Great Grandparents AND his Great Great Grandmother!

The last weekend of my maternity leave, Alex, Mak and I packed our car up and headed to Alabama for a special occasion! Alex's Great Grandmother was turning 90 years old on Valentine's day!!! Alex's grandparents and his great grandmother had never met Mak and we were excited to finally introduce our precious little boy to them! It was our first long trip in the car with him and we were nervous at how he would do in a car for 7 and a half hours especially since he had proved to us he didn't like the car. We had the car packed and headed out after Alex got off work around 445-5 and made it to the hotel around 12:30 and I was so proud of Mak who slept the entire way except for me to feed him one time! Alex's family had gotten there about an hour or two before us but we unpacked the car, visited with them a while before heading to bed! The next morning we got up, enjoyed breakfast and headed to his grandparents house! Let me tell you one thing, MomMom(Alex's great grandmother) may be 90 years old but she doesn't act it! She was completely smitten with our little boy, as well as his grandparents were, but she just adored him! She wanted to hold him, rock him, and just stare at him! In fact, he was being alittle fussy when she was holding him and I tried to go up to her and she waved me off haha! It was a happy introduction for sure that Alex and I will forever be thankful that Mak had(and has) the opportunity to meet his great great grandmother as that doesn't happen often! The entire weekend we just visited with everyone and I finally met Alex's Uncle(his mom's brother) and his wife and son. We ate, drank, played cards, laughed, talked, visited the Aviation Museum on the base, and enjoyed seeing everyone! Sunday came faster than we thought and it was time to head to church, snap a 5{!} Generation picture and get on the road bc in 12 hours, I was headed back to work for the first time in 12 weeks not to mention I had to leave my baby with complete strangers! We had a great weekend with family and can't wait to see everyone again soon!
