Rohan Meets The Family!

The end of this week we had Ma & Pa Bacon down on Thursday/Friday, then had Grandma, Mom & Dad Syring, Tanta (German for Aunt) Jen, & cousins Taylor & Kaylee. It was really great to see everyone swoon over little Rohan. I think he's a hit with all of them...:)
It was great this week too because we got to try out the stroller a little more. It hit 50°F on Thursday, and we took a 2.5 mile walk with the Bacon's to Truman State University and back. Then later that night Mara had to print some lecture notes at school so we walked to KCOM and back too. All in all a great 5 miles of walks in. When it gets warmer we'll be taking him on our epic 3-4 hour walks which pretty much take us around Kirksville proper. We all went out for Chinese on Friday before they left. Rohan was great after we fed him, but was in "meltdown mode" before then. Dan & Holly also took our cat, Toquinho, back with them. Since we can only have 2 pets in our AZ apartment we had to choose one. Lucy barely made the cut, but the cat was the low animal on the totem pole, so to speak. We really liked Toqo A LOT. When we get a cat in the future, we hope it's exactly like him!
The Syring/Bowers clan braved some icy roads through IA City, but we were really glad they came. They brought some of Grandma's meatloaf (my favorite) for supper, and had plenty of leftovers for us to chow on for the next few days. Everyone got to hold Rohan and feed him if they wanted. Mara had a mock board exam so everyone could take turns feeding him while she was gone. Tanta Jen, Taylor & Kaylee even got to give him a bath.
It was great to have everyone down here, and we can't wait for more visitors!

So glad we could make it down to meet little Rohan and see his Mama and Daddy, too - oh, of course his puppies, too!
Toquinho is taking his time adapting, but he is very friendly with Dan and me. He'll come around soon, with the other animals.
Enjoy that little one!!!

The pics are SO CUTE! I love the saggy baggy newborn skin! If he's the eater Cameron is, that will be gone in no time, so take lots of pics! Looks like everyone (including puppies) are so excited about Rohan. We can't wait to finally meet him in person!!
