thanksgiving

when family is far away, you make a new one
and what better place to do it than next to the pool?
with turkey and stuffing and desserts galore


The group gathering poolside.  New arrivals Kim, Elder, then Ian, new arrival Shannon, Lisa, Catherine, Weston, Laura, Ryan (carrying Audrey, 2 wks)
 


Rachel, Eric and Chris chatting.
 

New dad, Weston, with Liesl (10 wks).  Audrey sleeping and kids chatting with Laura.

Nicholas and Rebecca.  Her plate is clean, but did she like it?
 

The kitty interloper catches the eyes of Elder, Shannon and Rachel.
 

Ryan and Ian.  Ryan's shirt reads "My baby is cuter than your baby".
 Audrey wore the complement shirt "My daddy is bigger than your daddy"
 

Weston has mastered the one-armed-baby-carry-while-balancing-a-plate-on-a-cup.  Go Weston!

The kids keep each other company.  Katherine, AJ, Jonathon, Abby.
 

Aiden and dad Matt also manage some food time.
 

New moms.  Gee, wonder what they're talking about.
Could it be baby stuff?
 

A fun photo of Katherine in the pool.
 

Jonathon looking odd as he hams for the camera.

Katherine and AJ, good friends from day 1.
