Clouds & Rain in Phoenix

Fred and I found really cheap flights to Phoenix before Graham was born.
We guesstimated which month the baby blessing would take place and choose February. 
Unfortunately, Graham was hospitalized in January and so the blessing was rescheduled for March.
So we are getting two visits out of one event.

The afternoon we arrived it was pretty nice and sunny so we were able to spend a little time outside.
 Just like all little boys - Evan loves being outside.
 Scott is such a wonderful Dad and husband. I love watching him with his family.

 Fred slept quite a bit of the afternoon the first day. 
I guess Scott does a lot of catnapping too.
 This little man is so soft and cuddly. 
I don't think he looks much like Evan. 
Graham definitely has the McGuire genes.
I think he looks so much like Jess's brothers.
I started calling him Mr. McGuire.
 Overall I think Evan does pretty good with Graham.
Like all toddlers, you need to keep an eye on them.
Evan really loves sitting in this baby seat when Graham is not in it.
 Jess is so very good with the boys. She is creative and patient and doesn't get riled up.
She is definitely in her element.
 Jess and Scott are so good with their babies and each other. 
 Grandpa got his turns holding Graham. 
Graham didn't care who was holding him.  
He is a very relaxed little boy.
This is the one time that Fred sat in the middle and I was in the back.
Gravity makes it hard to lift myself up into the back. Honestly it's gravity.
 This was me in the back.
I love just having Graham lay next to me so I can watch him wiggle and stretch.
Babies are a wonder.
 In general his expression is kind of serious, but this baby has a great smile.
I love this picture of Scott with his boys.
Here is a comparison photo of the boys. 
 Evan was 4 months old and Graham is 2 months old in this picture.
Evan was premature so he started off pretty small, but he is at the top of the growth charts now.
Graham started out basically at 10 lbs. So we have two really BIG grandsons here and I'm excited to watch them grow.
Our visit was just right. 
Fred and I are very content to hang out at home. If you include some good food, it's a done deal. 
We went to the park for a short time, Fred and I went out to lunch while Scott and Jess got the boys ready for naps. When we got back, it was their turn. 
We're headed back next month. Yippee!!!
