OHIO

Thanks Gramma for letting Nancy and I barge in on you last minute. We really enjoyed seeing you and spending time with the family. We miss you already and can't wait until the next time. We will try to plan the next trip a little more in advanced! I love you!

Nate, Melanie and thier sweet Logan.

A few of the MANY second cousins. Grace, Mak and Kaelan.

Pictured are five of Gramma's 15 grandkids and 10 of Gramma's 17 great grandkids. Mel and Nate left before this photo but they were there too.

Boy was she surprised! Happy Birthday Nan!

Mary and her sweet Sophia. Thanks for being so nice to Kaelan...he loved it when you were around Sophia!

Exploring Uncle Ron and flirting with Aunt Terri!

What a tummy! You just can't help wanting to eat him!
Making up with Uncle Mark!

Kaelan's New Carseat!

He was so excited to ride forward and be up so high to see out the windows. He didn't know what to do with himself but his feet and hands were constantly making circles! Funny boy.

Singapore National Day!

Last Sunday was Singapore National Day and instead of fighting the crowds at the marina for the fire works show, we got together with some freinds for a bbq by the pool. We had a great time playing games (which the girls won!), doing sparklers and poppers, eating and socializing. What a fun group of people!

Baby Group

August 4th
Kaelan and around to his right is Audrey, Samantha, Isabella, Zayden and Henry (who is not too happy!)
Here are 6 of the eight babies from Baby group. Kaelan is the oldest at 8 months and he is next to Audrey who is the youngest at 3 months.

Isabella and around to her right is Willem, Samantha, Zayden, Audrey, Kaelan, and Kyle.
We took this picture only a few months ago and it is crazy to see how much they have changed.

Here is a happy Henry!

Sam in her Burberry dress! You have to dress up if you're going to baby group! Oh so cute!

Picnic at the park

Sunday evening we headed out to the West Coast to play at the park. Exxon Mobil, Jamie's company (he is pictured bottom left, married to Gillian who is pregnant and they are Violet's parent's) put on a concert in the park for some family fun. We brought frisbees and Exxon Mobil provided the kids with kites to decorate and fly. The park is right on the water so it is a prime location for kite flying. Even though I'm not pictured, I really was there! Just manning the camera!

Back to the Zoo!

Gillian, Violet, Camille, Pierce, Kaelan and Jessica.
We met up with these girls (minus Jennifer and Elyse who were already in the park) and their kiddos for a fun day at the zoo. Since having a zoo pass for 1 month we have been 3 times and twice to the Bird Park. It is almost paid for! Woot woot!

Camille gathered the kids up for a photo op. This was the best one I got of them all together. Since their ages range from 8 months to 2 1/2 years it would have been a miracle to get them all looking at the same time!

Kaelan, Violet, Elyse and Pierce
We spent most of our zoo time at the water park! It is so great and the kids love it!

Worn out and ready for lunch after some fun in the sun!

Sam is back in town!

Kaelan and I were getting him ready for bed when Sam and her mommy, Jessica, showed up. What a great diversion from heading to bed! They have just recently returned to Singapore after a 6 week trip to the US. We have missed them and are so glad they are back. She is exactly 2 months younger than Kaelan but he seems 6 times bigger!
