More Fun Family...or Family Fun

My mom's cousin LouAnn and her husband Skip live in CA. Their sons, Jon & Jason do too along with their families. Because of the distance we don't see them very often. Jason keeps us updated with slide shows via email - but it was a treat to spend Sunday afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Williams with the whole Armstrong clan!


LouAnn was one of the first in line to get some baby snuggle time.

This is basically how Jon looked most of the afternoon.

Jon, Nate & Jason

Great Grandma Williams

Tater loves playing with PaPa

You can tell the girls are in love with Uncle Nate....well - at least my girls. Sorry Nate!


The little kids above and the big kids below.


Now here is an amazing little girl. Ellie is 6 and Jason's youngest. We arrived about 1 and didn't leave until 9 or 10 and I'm quite sure that she would have been thrilled to hold Cadence the entire 8 hours. She is so patient and loving. It was super sweet to watch her shower Cadence with her undivided attention. Now I just need her to come over a couple days a week and help me out. :) Just a rough commute.

Great to see all of our relatives and catch up in person instead of just online. Now it's our turn to visit them in the great (or so they say) state of CA. :) We're going to hold out until the kids are a bit more travel friendly....or big enough to really enjoy the adventure as much as we will. Thanks for making the trek to the Midwest - we really appreciated it.

So good to see all the pictures. Thanks for posting them. Ellie is still talking about Cadence. She has a doll she is now calling Cadence. "Doesn't she look like Cadence?" It is really cute. I was glad Jon (that is a funny picture of him)took a lot of pictures in the end. I made a mistake and erased my disk while still in MI. Felt sick to my stomach about it. Still do. Loved seeing you all and you are always welcome out here.
