Congratulations Uncle Rich!

Uncle Rich finished college last semester! Last night we went out for a great dinner to celebrate. Sylvie knew just the thing to bring to congratulate Uncle Rich (or as Sylvie says, Uncle "Er")...balloons! Between the balloons, the special dinner and the ice cream dessert, Sylvie was slightly confused and kept wanting to know why we weren't singing Happy Birthday to Uncle Rich...

Congratulations Rich! One day Sylvie is going to graduate from college just like her Uncle "Er"!

A Day in the Sun

We must really love our cousins a lot. Yesterday the weatherman predicted it would be 106 degrees in Riverside, but we went out there for a visit anyway. Sylvie's great-aunt Sherry is in town from Wyoming and it was their first time meeting each other. The weatherman was wrong, it was actually 112 degrees. But we had a great time anyway. How's that for family love?

Lazy Days

When the summer days get long and hot, it sure is good to have an aunt and uncle who are not only nice but also have a swimming pool in their backyard. Today Sylvie paid a visit to good ol' Uncle Nils, had a swim and caught some rays by the pool.
