Meeting the Family

Elena had a big weekend a few weekends ago! Yes, I am a little behind on my updates since it seems I am updating on things that happened almost two weeks ago. That's how things are these days. The house is a little messier. The meals aren't quite as creative. Not as many projects get done. But we've got one cute little girl to take care of and it's the best job ever!

Back to Elena's big weekend...

We left on a Thursday after work and traveled up halfway to Michael's grandparents house. We arrived there on Friday morning and Elena was able to meet one set of great grandparents (she's got three!)

After spending the morning with them and having a delicious pizza lunch we hit the road once again and traveled over to the Central Valley to see my side of the family. On Saturday evening we had a get-together so the family could meet Elena. Two sets of great grandparents, great aunts and uncles and cousins.

Elena is certainly privileged to have such a wonderful family. She's off to a great start with so much love!

A trip to the Valley means extra time with Grandpa and Grandma Kauffman. Even though she's yawning in this picture, she did have a good time with them!

After a busy weekend we got back on the road. And little Elena, slept contentedly in the back seat...dreaming of sweet memories with her family...
