Relative-A-Palooza

It started with Kyle and Justin coming up to visit for Justin's hockey tournament (he won by the way). Here are the pics with Aunty Tammy and Uncle Troy:



Then Grandma Patterson stopped by.



Linus felt as though he could manage more hustle and bustle so out on the road he was sent:
Uncle Jim and Owen were co-chairs on the Linus Welcoming Committee:


Bill and Lynne were quite popular at the post-baptism celebration:

There were games to be watched with Uncle John:
and lessons to be learned from Aunty H.

Of course, a party is only a party once Grandpa John gets Linus a drink from the bar. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

There is plenty of time for some pictures with Linus' God Family. Where's that Brendan John?

"So Linus, let us know when you have your own tool box and shovel. We'll teach you how to get some real work done." Tom and Dawn share their devotion to the 7-day work week.

Grandma and Grandpa discuss Linus' posterity one more time:

Thank you all for coming to meet Linus and welcome him to our world.

Briefing of Trip Return

Lunch at Lula's

Linus has now stayed at least one night in four different states and two provinces. He had a great time on his trip West, talking with wild eyes of big cities and mama-like accents. He managed to get to Notre Dame, briefly, before being taken to lunch at a college cafe. Lula's is a place for smart people, evident by the Rory Gilmour in 1 out of every 3 chairs. Enjoy the pics.
