Family and Fireworks

The 4th of July weekend was spent in San Francisco with Dan's parents, older brother Matt and his wife Sara, their two daughters (Elizabeth and Ruby) and Dan's younger brother Phil and his wife Darbi. (That's the whole family, minus Julia and Ralf, who live in Germany).

Altogether, that was 8 adults and 3 children in my parents' two bedroom apartment. I think the fire marshall would have something to say about that...but it allowed us all to be with each other.

That included meeting cousin Ruby for the first time, and seeing cousin Elizabeth walking, talking, and entertaining us with Veggie Tales songs.

We truly had a wonderful time, and I think Grandma was in heaven with three little ones to hold. Christmas should be a blast, when we will all get together, this time with Ralf and Julia as well.
