OH MY!!!!! How busy we have been the past few weeks. Alex celebrated his one month birthday on June 25 with his second "well-baby" visit to the doctor. He is up to 10 lbs 2 oz and is now 22 inches long. What a growing boy he is!!!!! Later that week my friend Leslie came to visit us from Raleigh, NC. We had a great visit with Miss Leslie and Alex definitely won her over.On July 1 we packed the car and headed for ALMOST HEAVEN WEST VIRGINIA!!!! Alex was first greeted by his Grandma and
Granddad Wine and Grandma and Grandpa arrived shortly after. We surprised Sean's parents who didn't know we were coming. Then we sneaked in on his Aunt Jane!!! (All of Sean's family thought we were coming on Monday.)

On Monday, July 2 we went to Sutton to celebrate Grandma's birthday. (We won't tell how old she is!)"The Lazy W" began filling up with family for the 4th of July. That day marked the 60th wedding anniversary of Sean's parents. The entire Wine crew was in with the exception of Ca
rol & Bruce and cousin Mike. Everyone was delighted to meet Alex!!! I thought we were going to have to draw time slots to schedule who got to hold him next. On the evening of the 4th my parents, Jenn, Reid, and Elizabeth came to join in the celebration. I thought we were going to have a touching moment as Elizabeth reached out to her new cousin Alex. Then she snatched the pacifier from him. (Fortunately Reid caught her before she could put it in her mouth.) The traditional Wine Family Fireworks got rained out, but we saved them for the following night.

My best friend Sandra came from Ohio to meet Alex on Thursday. Many friends stopped by throughout the week...Pam Stewart, Evelyn Post, and Lori & Hannah Dittman.
On Saturday we were off to Webster Springs to meet the Morton Clan. Alex was a smart boy and brought a gift bag to cousin Caylin (To the Princess of Morton Mansion. From the Crown Prince of Gem). Alex got to meet "Aunt CaCa" (Aunt Cathy), Uncle Joe & Aunt Janet, and "Aunt" Tammy. Elizabeth and Caylin joined Alex for his very first swim. The water was too cold for his taste so the swim was extremely short!!!
On Sunday Alex attended his first church service with Grandma and Granddad Wine at Right Hand Fork United Methodist Church. After church we met the Cunningham side of the family and the Presbyterians at the Century Inn for lunch.
On Monday evening we stopped by Vacation Bible School in Burnsville so Alex could meet Toni Wine. She has been so good to send us signs for the door and keep the local newspaper straight on Alex's birth.
We headed back to NYC on Thursday. I am sure that our family at home misses us as much as we miss them. I hope no one suffered any camera or camcorder overuse injuries. We were sad to go but plan a return visit soon in August.
