(Almost!) My grandmothers entire family was at her house this past Saturday! Jody and Gary; Me and Jamie plus Matt, Steve, Ethan, Jacob and Emma; Camila, Antonina, and Alejandro plus Chase and Paloma! In addition to our family, we had Chases's sister Michaele with her husband Johann and their daughters Io and Echo. And last, but certainly not least...espeically by Ethan't standards, Antonina's boyfriend Spencer. He was a huge hit with the kiddo's!! It was quite a crowd! Conspiciously absent was my dad, Louise,Alex and George. Unfortunately, dad had a mild heart attack Saturday morning and was in the hospital instead of at the cookout. We gave him a pass...this time, but they were missed. The good news is that dad is home now and doing just fine. We expect Louise to whip him into shape in no time!
We gathered around the picnic table for dinner but the kids were not contained for long...

| Spencer was "The Cheetah". Ethan and Io, both 5, thought he was the absolute coolest thing ever. They chased and climbed and hid from him. They brought him food and begged to be chased and tackled! He was a very good sport. |

| Jacob running to be caught and swung by Camila. |

| It wasn't worth trying to get these little guys to look at the camera. These pictures truly capture the craziness! |
 |
| All of the grandkids: Me, Camila, Alejandro, Jamie and Antonina |
 |
| I have no idea why we waited until the end of the night to try and get a picture of the little ones with their Great Grandma, but that's how it happened, and here's how that worked out... |
It is extremely rare to have this many of our family members in one place. It was a very special night!
