A great day yesterday

 

Kristen and Dannielle and 20 month old Liam came to visit us from Oregon.

 Danielle and Aubrey and Logan came from Visalia.

Kelly and Bixby from Atascadero and Mike and I played host.

Kristen and Dannielle are in the process of adopting Liam Oscar.

They have fostered him since he was a few weeks old. 

Her sister Danielle just relocated to Visalia with her 3 teenagers.

They are my brothers daughters, my nieces and Kelly's cousins.
