Road Trip To Ryan

What a joy it was to drive up to Oregon to see our very first Grandson (and Nephew).  We were able to pick Hannah up from her last week of classes at Berkeley Thursday afternoon to start our trip.  We drove quite a bit Thursday - landing in Grants Pass, Oregon for the evening.  Friday morning we launched for the final stage of our trip to Salem.. arriving early in the afternoon to see Joel, Carissa and the newest member of the Henderson clan - Ryan Daniel.

Hannah immediately took to her red-headed nephew.  Okay... maybe she was a tad intimidated by his greatness....
















But she quickly bonded with 'her little nugget' as you can see.

It was a true blessing to see Julie snuggle with Ryan.  She is the best mom I've ever seen.. and now she's embarking on being a great grandma to little Ryan.  She looks soooo happy.
















And Ryan looks like he's at true peace in her arms ;)

And even grandpa got to spend some wonderful time getting to know our new little addition.  He is a very content little man and he just cooed and slept in my arms for quite awhile.  The perfect little grandson.
