One Big Happy

Be prepared for zillions of pictures, but I wanted to catch each family member at some point during the trip...and there are quite a few of us!

The entire family together.

All ten kiddos, ages six and under.

Gabriel, who has eyes that melt your very heart.

The patriarch of the fam chatting it up with my sis.

Grammy Lulu has such a gift with babies. Elyse adores her.

These folks look familiar!

Nicholas was one of O's constant companions. He loved having boys his age around all the time.

Henry: the third amigo.

Sweet Theo. He just sparkles with personality.

Uncle Tom with his two cuties, Nicholas and Charlotte.

There she is, the oldest cousin! Maddie is as sweet as she can be!

The entire Sanders East crew. What a gorgeous family!

Yaya lovin' on Owie.

Grampa B with his girls.

Darling Charlotte. This girl has a vocabulary like no other!

All the kids love to spend time with Abbey and Eric...and I think the feeling is mutual. These two are naturals!

Such a precious pic of two precious people: Henry and Libby.

Robert the Stud

Jim could often be found snuggling a little one.

No one can deny Uncle Rick's got style!

Libby, Cabrini and Katy have a serious chat...probably about The Bachelor!

LouLou, Yaya and O visiting before dinner.

Katy and Lou share crazy life stories before dinner.

LouLou and Karen share a love for the great outdoors.

Gramps and Yaya hanging out with my guys.

Mom and Dad pose with the Rupps before heading out to a yummy lunch.

Swing, Noah! Swing! I love the shadow.

Uncle Rick is master of the grill...but Grampa keeps an eye out just in case he can contribute some wisdom.

Kisses for Nosy.

The Boys loved playing with Abbey, and the wrap-around deck was the perfect place to rustle up some fun.

Hello, Handsome!

LOVE this pic! Henry, Noah and O giggle for the camera.

Add sweet Ava into the mix, and things really get fun!
We are so richly blessed with wonderful extended family to love and support us. What a joy it has been building relationships with these people.
