Most of Dave’s family lives in Southern California, so it was nice to visit with everyone again. We saw Aunt Laura at the hospital while she was visiting Grandma. She was on her way to Bermuda to celebrate her new engagement. Aunt Nanci’s house is always the hub for family gatherings, so we spent a lot of time over there, visiting with cousins Haden and Allen, and Uncle Gary. Eva loves the dogs, Cleo and Bandit, and orders them around, telling them to “hush!” when they bark. Amanda seemed to take them in stride, but would cringe when one got too close or tried to lick her face.
Uncle Larry came down for a visit later in the week, and so did Grandpa Gordon, with his new girlfriend Diane in tow. He hasn’t seen any of the grandkids for a year, but he’s more comfortable visiting with the adults and telling stories about when his kids were little. He enjoyed watching some of Allen’s swimming lesson.
Uncle Dennis & Kent came to visit on the last day, bearing birthday gifts for the girls and for Allen, whose birthday falls in July. Normally we have a group birthday party to celebrate all the guy’s birthdays in the summer, but this year it just wasn’t possible, especially with Grandma’s recent health problems.
