Amelia’s Moments

One of the great traditions of summer is the Share-a-Cake event. The entire family gets together to exchange gifts for birthdays that happened while we were all apart.  We gathered for a big photo and all managed to look forward and smile EXCEPT for one little peanut!

Hmmm... who is not looking at the camera?

Swinging... Being!

For Father’s Day we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  (This of course after we gave dad his new Wii!)   The entire family got together and the girls got to play with their cousins and grandparents.  Amelia helped grandpa open up his present of golf irons and grips and even sat down to read with him.  I can’t think of a better Father’s Day present!

One of the highlights of the summer is going back to see family.  It was we all miss the most when we live overseas… the everyday interactions we have with those we love.  Amelia was able to hang out with her cousin Brayden a bit over the summer and when they got together, they seemed to speak the same language.  Whether it be sitting on Larry’s lap, looking at the computer together or helping Grandpa Earl open up his presents, they entertained us all!
