California - Family Reunion & Meeting Sam

Ellie and I flew to San Jose to spend 3 days with family and friends. Our first stop was The Reynolds' house...where she met her Uncle Tim, and her cousins Madeline, Mitchell and Melanie. Ellie and Melanie were very cute together and almost looked like sisters. Melanie did a great job sharing her toys with her little cousin.

The next day we had a family reunion at my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Mike's home. It was so great to see everyone and meet my sister-in-law, Shanna. My brother Rich is adorable with her...they are a great match! It was crazy to see a ring on my big brother's finger. Too bad Jason couldn't be there to complete this picture. Ellie also met a lot of my family for the fist time - Aunt Nancy, Uncle Mike, Aunt Marg, Uncle Jim and my cousins JP and Stephanie. My mom also got to see Ellie for the first time since she was 4 weeks old. Luckily she is coming out for another visit to Frisco in a couple weeks to spend more time with Ellie.

Me, my big sis and big bro. I can't remember the last time the three of us were together. I hope someone got a shot of us with our mom.


This is my cousin Stephanie with Ellie. Aren't they adorable together!!!


On our way home from our family reunion, we were chasing a beautiful rainbow. This was my best shot...it doesn't compare to how amazing it was in person.

Then it was Dianther Panther time!!! I got to spend 24 hours with my oldest and dearest friend and meet her little boy Sam! She has an awesome camera and took a bunch of pictures...these are the few I had on my camera.

Is it too early to let them bathe together? Oh well, it was adorable!
