California LOVE

Clemens was sent on a detail during August, so the babies and I went to California to visit family, and boy did we visit! We stayed nearly a month. Little M and E were able to meet family they had never seen before, and were able to really bond and be comfortable with Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, oh, and Uncle Royce too.

Great Grandpa quickly became one of Little E's favorite people.

GG would take E's fingers and let him walk around

and around

and around the house,

until his little heart was contented.

Now that is the way to be friends with this boy.

They loved visiting Great Grandma after their baths

to give hugs and kisses and get their jammies on.

Uncle Dave came in from the islands and was an easy male roll model for E.

We miss you Dave!

Uncle Royce got the love too. By the end of our trip, this is what it looked like.

We could just hand Little E to him and off they would go.

Little E turned 1 year old during our visit! Such a big little man.
