It's been a busy summer. Especially for being so low key. Our favorite parts have been visiting friends and family, reconnecting, seeing how the kids have changed, reintroducing the kids to each other - seeing how nicely they all play together, and hoping that lasts for a long long time. Too much to catch up on in any coherent way, but take a look - you might be in these shots too.
Chicago friends at Beth & Lach's playhouse: Sam, Sam, Alice, Harry, Elliot, Max & Julia
On stage at the Lyric Opera house with cousin Caroline after her amazing production of Beauty and the Beast. We were happy to have Caroline stay with us the week she was in Boston, though with our schedules, we hardly got to see her - She was getting home when we were going to bed. We were leaving for work before she had to be up. But my beauties fell in love instantly and continue to be mesmerized by her. And you can see why.
Papa, Caroline, Mommy, Ami, Elliot, Samantha
Julia laughing at and being covered in lipstick kisses at dinner.
Cousin Seanie and Elliot at Alex's graduation.
Illinois cousins all lined up: Julia, Alex, Seanie, Elliot, Samantha, Emilee, Andrew
Grandma, Mommy, Elliot, Auntie Jessie, Julia
And then on to the UCLA Cousin reunion. 5 ladies all met in graduate school. All married men from the same graduate school, and then proceeded to populate the world. 13 in all so far...I think we are done counting but am holding out hope for a couple more surprises (not from us!).
Above lined up in oldest to youngest, except we don't know which twin came first: Angelina, Antonia, Benjamin, Noah, Adam, Serena, Callista, Elliot, William, Reed, Samantha, Grace, Julia.
Our 11th girl reunion in 12 years: Elissa, Patricia, Sherie, Jen, Anne - looking good ladies: especially for an impromptu end of the night "surprise photo".
