The Terpstra Reunion

Saturday night was a big family night for my family. My Grandma Sara's family, the Terpstras, had a huge family reunion. It was really fun. I got to meet a lot of new people. I was also passed around to a lot of family members. Everyone there said that I was the cutest baby. Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful time catching up with all of Mommy's aunts, uncles, and cousins. They did a lot of talking and tons of laughing. It was really hard to fall asleep and then stay asleep. Finally, Grandma took me and walked me around a way from people. Then Mommy took me, then Grandpa and finally Daddy held me till it was time to go home. Dinner was on the 28th floor of the Amway building. You could see all of Grand Rapids. That is my Great Uncle Ken holding me for the first time.

Today, when I woke up we went back downtown for breakfast with the relatives. I got passed around again. Finally, Mommy laid me down on the floor and let me kick. I was so happy for the chance to kick. I smiled and talked to everyone who saw me.

In the early afternoon we went back to Grandpa and Grandma's house. I played for a while and then took a nap. Mommy started reading Harry Potter and then she took a nap. Daddy already read the last couple of pages so he knows the ending.

At night we watched a video of me from when I was really little. Uncle Chris was holding me and I started laughing like crazy. Mommy and Daddy quickly tried to get the camera unplugged from the TV so they could record me talking to Uncle Chris. They weren't quick enough. But they did get me farting. I let loose some really stinky farts. They all were laughing at me. It is so much fun to hang around with family.
