Meeting Carson

Me and the kids spent the spring break week in Illinois on the "Illinois Tour of Grandparents".  We visited all 4 grandparents and one great-grandfather.  The highlight of the week was meeting the newest Hackney family member, my new nephew Carson.

Carson got plenty of love from Rachel and Makenna.  I believe Rachel would have sit and held Carson for a long time.

All of the grandkids on Dusty's side of the family.  Aaron finally has another boy in the family to help him even out the score.

There was plenty of girl time as well.

Silly girls!

And plenty of cuddle time!  Of course Aunt Heidi was packing camera equipment and we had ourselves a little photo shoot.

And just for comparison, here's Makenna at about the same age.

I do believe they may be related!

We had fun visiting, but we're glad to be home.  I think Dusty's glad that he doesn't have to eat a frozen dinner tonight.  We felt a little bad that he had to spend the week in Indiana alone, so we brought him pizza from his favorite hometown pizza joint.  All is well.
