Today JD has officially met every member of my family.

It starts out with us leaving Boston and going to my Grandma's house in NY. When we got there he got to meet my uncles two kids Maria and Al Jr. Luckily for JD Maria is a teenager and Al Jr. isn't a toddler. Kids tend to be immediately attracted to JD and start behaving like baboons when he is around and all he does is simply say "Hi".

A few days later my uncle Alvin flies in. I was a little apprehensive about JD meeting Al. I thought Alvin was going to put him through a series of rigorous questioning, with good reason. The kitchen was filled with people and I'm in the hallway talking to Maria when I hear "You know that I"m going to have to interogate you." I look around and see Al looking in JD's direction. Mean while my Grandma is telling Al "He's cool, he's cool!" Well I must say I was suprised by this. Grandma was vouching for my boyfriend! Something I've never seen her do for anyone else. Anyway the "interogation" consisted of nto much more than finding out where JD is from and what he is doing in life.

Yesterday my aunt Jennifer and her kids flew in to NY. JD had already met her daughter Vanessa but had not met her or Troy, her son. Since Jennifer and the kids would be leaving tomorrow I called my aunt Brenda to see about coming over. The original plan was that Brenda was going to drop her daughter Ashley over at my Grandma's house and I was going to watch her while she went out. Al Jr. had spent the night at Joan's house to play with her son Shannon. Vanessa crashed at Grandma's house to spend time with Maria. So when Alvin Sr. went to pick up Al Jr. he took Vanessa and Maria with him.

Now all the while I was expecting my aunt Brenda to ring the bell and drop Ashley off. This never happened so I call her house. No answer. I call my aunt Joan's to see were Alvin is. When she picks up the phone I hear this rukus in the background. Apparently she has all six of my cousins at her house. Their parents are out and she is being driven mad by the kids. I hadn't got to see my cousin Troy or Jenny yet so I drag JD to Joan's house. We walk in and the most insanse cacaphone is flooding my ears. I walked into the room that the kids where in and immediately walked out. I couldn't take the noise. I felt really bad for Joan and Basil, her husband, they had to deal with that all day.
