A day to remember



A few months ago, through the magic of Facebook, Carley found our brother , Clay, with whom we'd lost contact with many years ago. We were all so excited to have found him and immediately, we all began to get to know each other again through texts and messages on Facebook. We also got to know our sister-in-law, Katja. When we found out we were moving to Colorado, I was completely excited that I'd be close enough to really get to know them. Then, with the Hansfords surprise visit, the timing seemed perfect to round everyone up for a BBQ.

Here's our family pic with everyone except Mike who was sleeping before work and Ben who had another commitment. This was taken just before Mark and Carley needed to leave. Clay and Katja have two kids- Anaka, who's 11 and Cameron who's 10. They are both great kids and so much fun! They fit right in.

My bro and me:


Mack was pretty overwhelmed with all the commotion and she kinda stuck with the other kids until Uncle Clay and Aunt Katja were about to leave. Then she ran after him , grabbed his leg and squeezed. Clay is 6 ft 5 in so you can see why she'd be a little intimidated at first:

Mike really is a sound sleeper!! I'm glad you got to have fun with your family and I bet Mack loves having all of her cousins around:) We still miss you though!
