north of the mason-dixon.

This past weekend all the Kriegers (us, Tom/Amanda and Steve's parents) crammed in a rental minivan and drove 8 hours to Pittsburgh. Yep, 8 hours in one car with 6 adults and a 3-month old. It actually was a fun and enjoyable ride there. Caleb was a trooper and according to Rich only cried 5 minutes the entire way up (I believe it was a bit more).

Steve's grandparents were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and so the entire Krieger clan (there's a lot) got together Saturday and threw them a little celebration. It was super fun to see all the aunts/uncles/cousins again. And of course everyone was smitten by Caleb's huge toothless grin and big blue eyes. I'm beginning to realize how blessed I am to have such a laid back baby. Tons of different people were passing him around all day and it didn't seem to bother him one bit. Oh how I love that boy.

We got a picture of the 4 generations of the Krieger men - hopefully my bro-in-law will post the pics that he took all weekend sometime soon so I can share them. When all of them were together posing for the picture, it was crazy to see the resemblance of Pap, Rich and Steve. It'll be interesting to see whether Caleb continues to look more like a Krieger or more like a Lowder as he grows older.

Although the road trip was fun and definitely worth every hour of travel, Steve and I are looking forward to the next couple of weekends at home with nothing to do! Perhaps I can finally get crackin' on the crocheting of all the cute little baby booties I'd mentioned earlier...
