ND trip - Andrew with Extended Family

We took a family vacation trip - on an airplane!- to ND this summer. Here's Mommy and Andrew at Nana and Papa's house on the farm.

It was fun to show Andrew to all the Riskedahl/Gietzen family members.
Here's Nana finally getting to hold her 12th grandchild.

Here's Papa with a little help from Brynja.

Aunt Ronda (I can't believe I didn't get another pic with Andrew and Aunt Ronda!)

Uncle Ron.

Cousin Addison.

Cousin Kylee.

Big Girl cousin Brinny holding Baby Andrew all by herself!

Sorry Sally. Somehow I didn't get any pics of your family holding Andrew!

Great-Aunt Peggy Gietzen.

Great-Aunt Kathy Kohler.

Great-Aunt JoAnn Brilz.

And her kisses!

Great Aunt Karen and Uncle Dennis Kooren.

Great-Uncle Duane Riskedahl

Great Grandma Gietzen. Grandma died shortly after these pictures were taken. We were very glad we went to ND when we did so we could see her one last time and so that she could have the chance to meet her latest great grandchild. It was a very touching moment. Grandma always loved babies and it was still evident in the way she held him, looked at him and talked to him. She was a loving grandmother and we miss her.

And here's Great Grandpa Gietzen.

And lastly here's little Emmalynn holding him in the airport on the way home to NM.

Thank you to everyone for your love and baby gifts to Andrew! We love you all.
