We had a wonderful, if short, visit with our American cousins this past weekend; Poppa's aunt Ella, who lives in Kitchener, her son Norman and his wife Ann who live in Connecticut, and their son Paul, his wife Nicola, and their 4 month old son Callan, who live in Vancouver.  We had a nice lunch at the Walper Hotel, where Iain and I were married 8 years ago, and everyone had a turn holding the babies.  We last saw the Greys (except Ella, who we see more often) at Christmas 2001, when I was pregnant with Bella, so this was their first time meeting her as well.
