Seeing Mom's Family and Friends

Sonia and I traveled to see my family and my best friend from high school from October 31-November 5. Everyone was so great to us. It was so nice and comfortable to be around people who I love so much. Sonia ate up all of the attention from the aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, greatgrandparents and friends. What a rough life...wouldn't it be nice to be 10 months old again?

My best Mindy and her new little baby, Kaia with Sonia and I at a restaurant. Two hour breakfasts are the best!

Mindy's daughter, Ayla, with Sonia out in Mindy's front yard. This is my favorite picture of the trip. Sonia with my Dad. What a great picture of the two of them. You can tell they were having fun together.

And here's all the grandparents and great-grandparents with all of my mom and dad's grandkids...

And Sonia with her newest cousin, Marc.

And the great-grandparents with Sonia. They are so wonderful. Young at heart and lots of fun to be with. I was so happy to see them this trip as I hadn't seen them since their 60th anniversary celebration just over 3 years ago.

And the prized four-generation picture that my mom has been talking about wanting ever since Sonia was born. Here you go, mom... I even rescheduled my trip to make this one happen. It was well worth it. :-)
