Jeff's 40th Birthday!

It was great to be able to celebrate Jeff's 40th birthday in Vancouver. Thanks to all who came out and helped put him in his place.


A little family celebration.

What is a party without words from the wise or Jeff.

Those who stayed long enough for me to capture them on camera.

It's my party.

Benton's Day Pass

Before we knew that Benton was moving to out of ICU, we begged the nurses to give him a day pass so he could meet Noah & Akira. Our pestering paid off and the boys finally got to hang out.


Lisa getting Benton ready to meet his cousins - I think he may need a few more months before he fits those shoes.

Noah waiting anxiously for his cousin.

Akira happy, as always.

Finally! They meet.

So cute.

No way could I handle two.

Benton isn't too sure about his big cousin.

Wow - your tall.

And then there was three.

Lisa, Benton & Grandma.

More Visits with Great Grandpa

We managed to get a few mre visits in with Grandpa during our visit. Noah was very entertained by his Great Grandpa and vice versa.

It wasn't until a care aid came by and pointed out that we had 4 generations in the room. Quite amazing.

An Easier Easter

As our families grow, holiday gatherings become quite a chore for the host. So this year we decided to have a private, catered brunch at RVYC - definitely an easier Easter.

Again, will have to round up some more photos.

Visiting with Friends

Noah got to meet lots of new people, while in Vancouver. Some we got photos of, others we will have to get next time.

Benton

Even though Benton was in the hospital during our visit, we still had lots of time to get to know our new little nephew/Noah's cousin. He is tough little guy, whom I am sure will catch up to Noah in no time.

Father-like son.
