I've really been slacking on keeping up to date with this... I would love to post more detailed stuff about our road trip but I'll just skip right to the whole purpose of the trip. To meet out of state family. For Ava and I we'd be meeting Andy's Dad, Brother & Sister for the first time. I was nervous (I always do that to myself with these types of situations) and excited for them to see Ava. I was so relieved when we got there. Grandpa was so happy to be meeting Ava and everyone was so welcoming and so incredibly nice. I felt right at home. I do have to say that all of the Parke's have made me feel more welcome than I ever have before. They're genuinely nice, friendly people. I'm happy Ava will be able to grow up surrounded by that.
