Kentucky and Texas Trip!

We recently had the opportunity to visit family in Kentucky and Texas, introducing Titus along the way. The trip was definitely a long one with a three month old baby, two dogs, and two worn out parents, but we made the best of things. Titus sure was a trooper and despite some good crying jags, I think he enjoyed some good quality time with his parents and family. Here are some highlights from the trip.

Here is Titus with his Grammy and Grampy in Kentucky on Mother's Day. My Father gave a great sermon entitled, "The Other Mother" about Hagar. We also had the chance to show Titus off to the congregation and Grampy had the opportunity to pray with his grandson.

Titus got the chance to enjoy some BBQ at Rudy's along the way. Well, he didn't really sample anything, he just watched from Joel's lap.

Here is Titus with his Great-Grandmother Flora.

Titus had the chance to meet a lot of the Ferguson side of the family at Grandma Flora's home. Here he is with his second cousin Krystal. She is the mom of three boys, so she had some excellent advice for raising Titus. Titus' Great-Aunt Suzanna was also wonderful with Titus and was the only one who could get him to sleep "like a baby."

This is Titus' Great-Great-Grandmother-Ma. She is just so wonderful and it was just a precious moment to see him in her arms. She used to run a nursery so she has a way with little ones.

As many of you know, Joel would not let Titus touch the ground until he came to Texas. Not just any old place would do...it had to be at the Alamo. So, Joel, Dad Ferguson, Casey, Titus, and I trekked down to San Antonio for this important milestone.

Here is a five generation picture. This is Joel, Titus, Ma, Great-Grandmother Stewart, and Mom Casarez (Gran). It is just so amazing and such a blessing that they could all be together for this visit.

Here is Titus with his Uncle Casey. It was super hot on our trip to San Antonio, so Titus enjoyed his milkshake. Casey is soon to be a father with his wife Lora, and from his interaction with his nephew, we can tell he is going to make a great Dad!

This is out at Dad Ferguson's home in Kyle. Grandpa just loved on Titus and it was great to see all of the boys together at the "ranch."

Here is Titus with his Pa for his night-time feeding.
