Amelia's Trip to Missouri

Amelia's first big trip was back to Missouri to meet friends and family when she was 2 months old. It was incredible how much family time we could squeeze into one week, and we were thrilled to be able to introduce Amelia to 1 Great-Great Grandma and 5 Great-Grandparents. That's incredible! It is so special that we were able to snap several 5 and 4 generation photos.

Time with The Gilstraps
1 Great-Great Grandma (Julie's Grandma, Chris' Great-Grandma)
3 Great Grandparents (Julie's Parents, Chris' Grandparents)
2 Grandparents (Chris' Parents)
3 Aunts (Chris' Sisters)

Time with The Duvalls
2 Great Grandparents (Stuart's Parents, Chris' Grandparents)
2 Grandparents (Sarah's Parents)
2 More Aunts (Sarah's Sisters)
2 Cousins (Sarah's Nieces)

Amelia and her Great Grandma and Grandpa Gilstrap




Cousins Aubri and Alayna - I had these shirts made to announce to my nieces that I was pregnant. The shirts say "Big Cousin Aubri" "Mid Cousin Alayna" and "Lil Cousin Baby G"
(I think it's hilarious that the 5 year old was the one crying in the photo, and not the newborn!)

The Gilstrap Family


While we were in southern Missouri, we met my dad at the cemetery where his parents are buried. This was a very special moment for us, since Amelia doesn't have any Great-Grandparents in our family. This is our Duvall 4 Generation Photo :) I know my Grammie and Papa were looking down on us with beaming smiles when they got to see their great granddaughter Amelia!
