Lots Of Family Time

We had a great time with all of our family. Eri reconnected while Leo was introduced to cousins & aunts & uncles. Maryland at this time of year is just beautiful.

Big brother teaches his sister the basics of football.
Grandma & Zio Zio play an intense game of touch football with Eri & Leo.

No family gathering is complete without the usual lineup.

Great Aunt Ellen, Aunt Nancy, Jeanie, Great Aunt Louise & Aunt Marie

These women are the gals of Antoinette, as in my Leona Antoinette's great grandmother.

The perfect system.

These girls don't know (yet!) how lucky they are to have my Aunt Nancy & Uncle John so close to hold them & rock them to sleep. It was second nature for them to make Stella & Danika happy.

One of the guys...

Eri wanted to eat watermelon with the cool dudes.

Zio Zio, Uncle Johnny & Great Uncle Nick

"do you wanna play football with me????"

Aunt Ellen tries to win over Leona.

Taking a walk to 4 corners

A fun little playground at St. B's.

Leona totally adored Stella & Danika. She just kept going up to them & hugging them.

Leona looks like a giant compared to these girls!

(Leo is about 9 months older.)
