Memorial Day weekend was spent with Aunt Tracy up in Hoboken, NJ. Josiah got his first bus ride while we were there when we rode into NYC for the day. He did pretty good and enjoyed Central Park. However, I think he was a little disappointed we didn't take him to a broadway show. Porter even got to come and hang out with us. Thanks Tracy for accomodating the whole Lins clan for three days!


Shortly after, Ryan's mom, Bonnie (AKA "Oma") flew out to visit for almost a week to spoil her first grandchild. We had a great time while she was here and she even had Josiah starting to swing his legs over to roll over (with a little help from grandma of course!).



Aunt Sara and Mark (AKA Aunt Sweetie and Uncle Creepy), headed over next. Just like last year, we drug them all over the place while they were here....we took them to the National Arboretum, the harness races, Rehobeth Beach and the Air Mobility Center (Air Force Museum) just to name a few! Mark must have been a pilot in his previous life because he knew more about airplanes than the average bear. Sara was a saint (or a slave driver), she reorganized all my plants around the pool and did a great job!
Father's day was a success. We got Ryan out to Brandywine Creek State Park and went hiking for the day. Porter, however, had the best day of all as he discovered he actually loves swimming! We couldn't get him out of the water for an hour! Josiah also took a little dip in the water as well but wasn't quite up for swimming just yet.

Dear Ryan and Katie,

Could you three be any cuter? Just like everyone else, we sure do miss you guys. Lots of love to you all, and please give your babies big kisses for us (can't leave Porter out or else the kids, especially Abigail, will be disappointed.

Love, The Affeldts
