We ❤ Family

Blessed to have LOTS of family love these last few weeks (plus we got the fabulous news that the Waits are making their way up from TX at the end of July--yee haw!).

Pics in no particular order.

Uncle Sharif!

Veronica-initiated hug with Cousin Kadin

Tanta Mariam

"Oompah, I'd like some more of that yummy chocolate, please!"

Uncle Wan is the only man brave enough thus far to let Hamilton play baseball using his hand as a T while giving him a piggy back ride.

I think her pleas were heard. Can you tell she has him wrapped around her finger?

Checking out GrandDad's watch while at a super yummy dinner at Uncle Julio's.

Too much fun with Grammy and GrandDad.

Hamilton and Sweet Lady Paloma on the tire swing.

Sweet Autumn with Uncle William

Saraina and Joshua exploring the Lincoln Park Zoo climbing structure

I love this picture of Freeman and William talking with Hamilton and Paloma catching rides. We should find a picture of them talking as kids and put it next to this one...many years and children later.

Autumn and Veronica planning their escape

I just thought this one was funny. While Auntie Kia was getting a fabulous picnic spread ready, Freeman was off to the right trying to keep the kids occupied. Hamilton and Paloma were listening intently, but Saraina was skeptical of whatever he was saying. Of course, Kadin was being sure to pose for the photo. Love those kids!
