I met Matt's family this weekend in Windham, NY. Above is a picture of Matt and his brothers: Michael, 39, and John, 43. Somehow, I didn't get a picture of his Dad or Carol! His dad put on a Hawaiian skirt (a skirt that is made and worn by men) so I definitely missed a good photo opportunity. Matt told the news within about 15 minutes of our meeting. Everyone was surprised and excited! It was really fun to hear his dad call his sisters and friends to share the news that he was going to be a "Grandpa Joe" again. Our baby will be the 8th grandbaby that "Grandpa Joe" and "Tutu" (Hawaiian for Grandma) share, but the first baby from Matt's side of the family.
So, as you can see, we did a lot of really good eating! Carol prepares very healthy food and it was delicious. I appreciated her knowledge of what I should be eating/drinking. She made sure I was drinking bottled water and that I didn't eat the brie cheese. The food was very fresh and from the farmers market - Yum!
Matt and I enjoyed walking around and seeing the sights of the small town. The best part was sleeping with the windows open and feeling the cool air as we slept! A funny little thing happened when I was returning from the bathroom in the middle of the first night... I fell!!! I made a huge boom!!! I thought I saw the bed in front of me, but I missed and landed on all fours on the floor. Fortunately, I'm a stomach sleeper so I was facing forward as I was approaching the bed. Matt woke up (fortunately) and was in a panic about me. Only thing that happened was that my knees got carpet burned. Ha!
It was a great trip and I can't wait to meet even more family when we visit Raleigh for Thanksgiving!
