Get Together with the Becks

We had dinner with my Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle and cousins yesterday. We were celebrating an early Great Grandfather's day with my Grandpa. It had been a while since my grandparents had a chance to see Noah and they were more than happy to steal him off our laps and entertain him. Noah, of course, was the center of attention as he always is... He just soaked up the attention from all the relatives. My aunt made two great salads that I'm still thinking about today and my uncle grilled shrimp and brat kabobs. We were in charge of the munchies. We brought veggies and dip and pita chips and hummus. It was a fun evening with tons of good food. We headed home stuffed.

Noah found himself enthralled with the ceiling fan in the screen porch. He spent most of the evening staring at the fan from this angle and that. No matter who was holding him or what direction he was facing, Noah found a way to contort his body so that he could watch the ceiling fan turn above him. It was quite amusing to listen to him watch the fan and talk about how interesting Phil's fan is compared to our boring fan at home.

Driving out to visit the Becks reminded me again how long it's been since we were able to visit my dad. He hasn't seen Noah for quite some time. It's important to me to visit as often as possible, but life keeps getting in the way. Hopefully next weekend we can make the trip to visit.
