To Great Grandmother's house we go.
We just got back last night from the suburbs of Richmond, VA. We flew and it was so much better than driving. Evan was a gentleman on the plane and spared the other passengers any cries or screams. As soon as we took off on both flights, he fell right asleep and then would wake up before landing to look out with window with Mike.
The purpose of our trip was to see Mike's grandmother. We last visited when Evan was 11 weeks old. He is now just over the 9 month mark.
Evan jumped right in and told Grandma all about the flight 
We decided to take advantage of all the green and flowers while we were there and got many, many pictures of Evan.
Just so you can see that he isn't always a happy baby 
Mike, Evan, and Grandma 
And these next few pics may seem freaky to some of you but we decided to take a few pics at the cemetery. Evan decided to help fix the flowers on Grandma's (Mike's mother's) grave stone. He was a very solemn baby the entire time we were at the cemetery. He would just look around and listen. It really makes you wonder if the very young really can see and hear ghosts.
and with Great Grandpa 
This is the new memorial outside the front steps of the church Mike's grandmother goes to. It was recently a weed patch but it was cleared and dedicated to a few beloved people, especially one in particular. 
Just before it was time to go. Evan and Grandma shared some more quality time 
Bye, bye Virginia! It was fun and hope to do it again soon!

I love the photo of Evan and the pink flowers. You should frame it!! Glad you guys had a good trip and I am sure that Grandma was even happier to see Evan.

Love the new look! I'm so impressed with Evan's first flight. David was going to experience his first next month, but our plans changed. All your pictures are great-I especially like the one of Evan at his grandmother's tombstone and the one of Evan in the trunk.
Came back to tell you I like the pictures at the grave site. They're really very touching.
You got a lot of great pics Tara. Evan is just the sweetest thing. I love the new look too, btw!
