After the weekend in Manhattan, Braylon and I made the long trip home to Johnson, Ks to visit family. We caught a ride home from Manhattan with Bryan's mom, Grandma Jean. We turned a typical 5 hour trip into a 7 1/2 hour trip from Manhattan to Johnson. We stopped twice to nurse and change diapers;otherwise, Braylon slept peacefully in his car seat. While home, we visited Great Grandma and Grandpa Cook. They were very excited to see Braylon for the first time and he hammed it up for them, offering great smiles and chatting up a storm.
From there, we paid a visit to my dad, Grandpa Grady and younger siblings, Josie and Wyatt. Braylon caught a quick nap with Grandpa.
Tuesday evening, we spent some time with my mom and step-dad,Grammy and Papa Jerry. Uncle Marty, Aunt Kyla and the twins, Caelyn and Rylie came over for dinner and met Braylon for the first time. The girls were especially excited to see Braylon. It seems that Braylon is flirting with Rylie in this picture. He wouldn't stop looking at her and she was a little embarrassed!
On Wednesday, we began our trip back to Lawrence and made a quick stop to see Great Grandparents Dewayne and Sally in Ulysses. Once again, Braylon won them over with his sweet disposition and adorable smiles!
Our final stop came in Ashland, where we visited Braylon's namesake, Great Grandpa Arthur or "Pop". Pop really engaged Braylon, making faces and funny noises that caught Braylon's attention. Bryan's mom, Grandma Jean also made the trip to visit Pop and we snapped this four generation picture of the Ganson, Malone, and Ramsay clan.
Bryan, Braylon and I then drove the last leg home to Lawrence. Once again, a normal 4 1/2 hour trip turned into a 6 1/2 hour trip. We were glad to get home and rest! It was an exciting week and we were glad to see everyone, but we won't be making that trip again until Christmas!
