    Sniff. Wow Rachel, great pictures! Especially like the overhead one. Gives a real feel for the day. Also glad for the one of Austin reading. Almost like we were there talking to you. Glad you all had a good time. Oh yeah, the one of Maggie and Jackson wrestling, loved it.

    Love, Dad

    Thanks Rachel for the up to date pictures! I look like an OLD LADY!!! Groan!! But I guess I am an old lady! We did have a perfect day!! All kids young and old had a great time!!!

    I agree with everything dad said. Thanks so much for posting these! And I just want to say that when I saw that picture of the table laden with food, my first thought which only lasted a split second was “yum!” but the next thought which sticks with me is what an awesome addition Dominic is to our family 🙂 Doesn’t take much to see the contrast in that picture -haha. Love your joie de vivre Dom! Don’t change!!! And lots of thanks to you and Sherrie for again doing the honor of hosting. Love you both.

    I miss everyone, i wish i could have been there. These made me cry, especially the ones of my dad holding Anna 🙁 It really hits home that my kids don’t really get to bond with my dad and Grandma. Everyone looks great
