Jack has been lucky enough in 3 short months to meet so much of his family and the trend continued in July. He first met his Aunt Ardella (Gigi's sister) and Uncle Bob, who stayed at our house for a few days. He welcomed Aunt Ardella the way best way babies know how, with a little spit up! He only does that to people he really loves! Uncle Bob and Jack entertained each other. It was very cute.

On Friday, Jack made his first trip to the farm and met more family!
He met his cousins, Melissa and her childhood friend Maggie, and Ryan and his fiancee Kate. Everybody had a great time telling stories, learning about family history and riding around the farm on the truck. Oh yeah, and eating!

On Sunday, Jack was able to meet even more of his family. Almost all of the Sandison Family came for a huge and delicious lunch.

Jack really did not love the south Georgia gnats but who really does?
Whenever we came to visit the farm my grandmother always had Krispy Kreme donuts for the grandkids. Of course this a tradition no one wanted to stop.
One afternoon, we took Jack on his first history trip, the hometown of former President Jimmy Carter.
Unfortunately, everything was closed but we had fun anyways!

Here is Jack sitting in CT's chair at the farm.
Ryan's band is called Dirt Bikes, so he gave Jack an onsie with a dirtbike.

My sisters and I spent were able to spend a lot of time at this wonderful place with lots of family. I hope Jack has the same experiences.
Once back in Atlanta, we took in the sights with Allison, Melissa and Maggie.
We introduced them to the wonderful pizza from Antico, visited the MLK center and toured the World of Coke.
Sorry for the long post, but I had been looking forward to this visit since the planning began. I know Jack is going to love his cousins as much as I do!
We are excited for the next Sandison family adventure - Ryan & Kate's wedding!
Austin, Texas here we come :)
