Michigan ventures Part 1: Meeting new peeps

This is the first of a few posts about our big road trip to Ohio and Michigan! We made it there and back, with 4 legs of driving but the cool breeze and smell of a campfire made it all worth it!

Being natives to 43015, the Hallers know a lot of people and Ari stayed calm and collective with all the new faces! She smiled and was very outgoing as they came to the house and cabin to meet her.

Ari got to meet Aunt Jill...
And Uncle Mark. They were gracious and patient enough to let us stay in their [adorable] new home and we really enjoyed it. They made Ari laugh and also reminded Dan and me of what it was like to be a newlywed!
Ari met baby Moriah. Who is, I think, a second cousin... but, we'll figure that out later. Moriah was born a few days after my baby shower in Ohio in October. That makes her about 2 months older. She was crawling and standing up which made Dan realize how quickly Ari's becoming a big girl!
And, in our opinion, the most important person Ari got to meet was Great Grandma Haller (GiGi)!! Boy did they love on each other! Their was giggles and squeals as Ari sat on Gigi's lap and made her smile.

More to come on our big trip!
