Trip Report






We're back from Ohio and all went well. Mabel was a total champ on the drive to and from, and she slept like a baby (interesting!) in the hotel crib and at my cousin's house. We were visiting a family (my cousin Dave and his wife Amy) with three little boys - ages 5, 3 and 2 1/2 months - and Mabel was fascinated by the older boys - so much activity! They were very sweet to her, and played with her and called her Baby Mabel. We had a great time and it was wonderful to introduce Mabel to her Hyland relatives. My great aunt Mary Janet, whose mother was the first Mabel Hyland, brought us several things that had belonged to her mom, which will be very special for Mabel to have one day. Here are some pics from the trip. The other baby in the picture with Mabel, Aunt Jan and Aunt Mary Janet is Nathan, Dave and Amy's youngest. He was the best baby, very quiet and mellow, only crying when he needed something ... otherwise, no worries, don't trouble yourself, he'll just hang out and chill.
