Hello, Kate here!
After our stops in NH and ME, we continued our journey through Vermont and then finally back to Elmira NY! We stopped for an overnight in Rutland with Mimi and Marty (Ed and Amy were there too--great to see them again, after the Cape). Mimi and Marty have renovated and added onto my Grandmother's home, and practically doubled the square footage in the process! They have renovated the home to include modern tastes and conveniences, but also kept in step with the architectural (and sentimental) features of the home. It's just beautiful and we are so glad we got to see their new/old home!
We arrived in NY and got to spend some quality time with Gramma Anne and Grampa Greg! We spent the week relaxing on the back and front porch, grilling out, and even helping spread the stones for the foundation of Grampa Greg's new shed! Greyson took his first ride on a John Deere Tractor, and even put on the green hat on his ride around the front yard (on Grampa Greg's lap, of course--he can't reach the pedals just yet).
Since we were up in the northeast, close to family, we had Greyson baptised at Trinity Episcopal Church in Elmira. It was a beautiful day and ceremony, Father Bill and the congregation were so welcoming, and Greyson managed to not cry during the service! My brother Aaron and Allison are Greyson's Godparents, and it was so wonderful to have them up with us for this special day, with the other family and friends that travelled to see us!
The Friday night before we had Greyson baptized, we had dinner up at the Hill Top Restaurant--the same place where Jeff and I had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding. It was so nice to go back and take in those views of the valley--and even got to see some post-Elmira Pioneer baseball game fireworks! It was a lovely evening.
Enjoy the latest pictures from our travels!
