The trip to Cleveland went great. We had a chance to meet up with friends and family, meet our niece for the first time, and enjoy turning right on red.

Thursday, D met his cousin for the first time. (Cousin wasn’t born with a black circle – it’s in place to protect their identity). D was definitely intrigued…

Friday we went to US Cotton (Olessia’s former employer) and visited with some of her former employees. They got to meet D for the first time.

Holly stopped by the hotel on Friday to meet D for the first time.

Grandma and grandpa visited us. D was smothered with love.

I don’t normally take food photos. I thought I might need evidence of Scooter’s nacho dog to show folks back in NYC. The slaw dog was good too.
