Kaden got to meet his cousins when he was 1 week old.  We took a train to Milton Freewater to spend Christmas.  That was quite the adventure.  Since he was born in the middle of the worst weather we have seen around here in as long as I can remember, we couldn't drive, and our train was delayed.  Just a brief overview... It took almost 4 hours to get to Portland (2 hour maximum drive), our train was delayed so we spent 5 hours in the waiting area (train station waiting areas are full of creepy looking people), and our 4 hour train ride took more like 6 hours.  If you remember that we have a 1 week old baby, you can imagine that it wasn't a very fun experience.  I was exhausted, but it was worth it.  We wanted to make sure our family got to meet Kaden.  We had a wonderful trip, then our train home was canceled so Max (Papa) drove us to Portland.  God Bless him for that!  We miss our Eastern family, but we get to keep in touch via webcams. 

Anyways...  I seem to have gotten distracted!  The girls loved their new cousin to death and there was always a line to hold him when he was done eating.  And as the week went on they got more comfortable holding him and were frequently seen carrying him around the house while they went about their business.
