Three Saylers!



































Gaven got to meet Grandpa Sayler and his wife Tammy for the first time. He was impressed with dog Zoe's squirrel! Three generations of Saylers are pictured in the last two photos.

Grandma Marjorie











Gaven enjoyed seeing Grandma Marjorie again. She was impressed with how much he'd grown since November! We missed Great Grandma Jean this visit as she is spending some time in Florida for the winter.

Fun with my cousins (videos)

Meeting Cousins Elle and Tal
















We visited Uncle Jim, Aunt Kate, Cousin Elle (2) and Cousin Tal (7 mo). Elle was enthralled with Gaven and kept giving him kisses. She wanted to hold and care for him like her baby dolls. Gaven and Tal are a little over 3 months apart. It was a lot of fun to see them together. The first picture is of Elle enjoying some tomato soup!

Sunrise

















One advantage of an infant's feeding schedule is you are guaranteed to be up for the sunrise. We captured these pictures right in front of our hotel.
















Gaven is starting to become very adept at tummy time and standing up. He'll be walking in no time!

Beach Day






















We all enjoyed some sunshine and time on the beach. Rob, Charlie and Sam built a sand castle while Papa John and Craig surf fished. Papa John is showing Sam a ghost shrimp (used for bait) that he caught with the tube Sam is holding. Next year I suspect Gaven will be down digging in the sand as well. He was content to hang out with mom at the pool.

Grandma Judy and Papa John






























Gaven enjoyed lots of quality time with his grandparents. Grandma Judy kindly offered to baby sit. Gaven, the spark plug, kept her on her toes as he really hates to sleep at times. He's just doesn't want to miss out on the action.
