Overdue

This is long overdue. Even more so now than when I actually started this post. I'm playing catch up with my blog, even though I know that, like a journal, you can never REALLY catch up. Here is my meager attempt.


The fam came for a visit on the way out to a reunion in Placerville. What a blast! We got to spend some time at the lake, at my house, and at the park. It was a sweet to have so many little feet running around my house. I miss being close enough to have my family over to MY house. Here are a few pictures of the visit.



The Gillie!

Ander would spend lots of time putting sand on his feet so he could kick it.


Bradey, flexing his muscles!


Ember!

Livia


Jonah and the padres


Cobers


Ooh!


Sand is tart these days.


The crew! (We're so white)


Lovely ladies


Sand is interesting stuff


Piper was on lock down in the stroller, so her cousins fed her a bit.





Making sure she's had enough













Best buddies



Check out how happy Piper is in this one!

We also got to go for a ride together as one big, happy family on the bus that I drive for the school. Unfortunately the nicer, bigger bus was out for repairs, so we had to take the short bus, but it was still lots of fun! Everyone got a chance at the wheel.














Then we took off for the JVB reunion in Placerville. Oh what fun to visit with cousins, aunts and uncles!

What a good looking group of people!

So fashionable


AND just downright cute!
