Chris & Naomi Hathaway Home

We went on a little trip to Washington this last weekend, mostly to see our new nephew, Ethan, but also just because it's been so long since we've been with Naomi's family (besides Kate). We've been talking with them almost weekly on the web-cam, so Lincoln recognized them right away, and ran up and gave Grandma a big hug when we got to the airport, I think making her weekend. I'm not sure I've ever seen Lincoln so happy for such a long period of time. He was just so excited to have so much attention; he loved to act very silly, and keep tags on everyone. As soon as someone left the room, he would start yelling for them. Oh, and for the record, here's a translation of all the names Lincoln has for everyone (I'll try and spell like he pronounces them):

• Grandpa Allan - 'papa'
• Grandma Allan - 'ahm'
• Kate - 'aiy'
• Scott - 'gock'
• Emily - 'ahmyee'
• Steven - 'deeaah'
• Sarah (Scott's girlfriend) - 'weah'

Oh, and he can say his own name, too, but it sounds like 'winkie' instead of Lincoln. It's very cute. Anyway, here are some good photos from the trip, with a link to them all:

Kate's Photos

We recently returned from a relaxing, 2-week vacation in Washington, visiting Naomi's family and enjoying the nice, cool weather. I've been meaning to get a more prepared account of the event, but it's been a week with nothing, so here at least are some pictures. Expect video and more details to follow. This gem was taken by Kate, Naomi's younger sister:
