Grandpa and Grandma J made the trek to bring some love and meet the newest little addition to the family.  We enjoyed some good company and yummy food and a few fun treats for Alexander and all around.  Aidan was a rather sleepy host, but enjoyed his first bottle with Grandma J, and offered a few of his bright eyed moments in between naps.  Alexander was a bit reserved at first but warmed up over time, eventually offering random hugs, showing off his favorite toys, and wanting to wear his yellow vest to match Grandpa J&#8217;s.  (Unfortunately he&#8217;s also going through an anti-picture phase so we missed him in some of the photo ops.)  We wrapped up the visit with an old-fashioned barbeque by the men.  Uncle Bill, Aunt Carol, Alison and Ellen joined us for the event Sunday evening to make introductions to baby Aidan and enjoy the good cookin&#8217; on the grill.  It was good to have a home so full of friends, family, and happy wishes.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/5-17-09-Gpa-w-Kiddos-%286%29-715219.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 140px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/5-17-09-Gpa-w-Kiddos-%286%29-715043.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/5-17-09-Groupee-773721.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer; width: 106px; height: 140px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/5-17-09-Groupee-773646.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/5-17-09-Groupee-%285%29-773624.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 140px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/5-17-09-Groupee-%285%29-773618.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were blessed this weekend with a visit from the great northlands of Minnesota!
