Weekend in the Fort

Saturday morning we packed up the car and headed back to our new "hometown" - Fort Wayne for a quick visit.  The purpose of the visit was to meet with our realtor and look through a few houses we had found online.  The BONUS was that Jack & Josie got a chance to spend some time with their family! My parents, along with Joe & Gina, came over to watch the IU game on Saturday night. We were all happy with another IU victory! Sunday, after the house hunt, we ventured over to meet our newest member of the Becker family - Kinley Marlene! Kinley is Brent (Ty's cousin) & Billie's new baby girl. She was born on 12/13/11 and she is SO tiny next to (big-boned) Josie! I'm excited for these second cousins to grow up together!

 This is how all of us felt (and looked) as we headed south on Saturday!

Aunt Gina came with gifts for Jack! He was VERY excited to practice his unwrapping skills, just in time for Christmas!

 Uncle Joseph and baby Josephine. Josie wasn't impressed with Uncle Joe's beard (although it is thicker than Uncle Devin's)... He isn't shaving until IU loses - which we are hoping is a long time from now!

The Becker Grandpas! Denny with Josie and Bill with Kinley.

Three generations of Beckers. As you can see, Chloe is excited to have some new girl cousins!

Tyson's Aunt Becky thinks Josie was telling Kinley how hard it is to be the second child.  I think Becky interpreted the conversation like this:

Josie: "MY LIFE IS SO HARD! I have a rowdy brother and two crazy labs...I have to share my parents' attention - IT'S HORRIBLE!"

Kinley was a good listener.
