Clan Gathering

Jamin, Naomi & I made a quick trip home to CB for the Clan Gathering that takes place every other summer. It's not often that we get all of the aunts, uncles, & cousins together, so this was a special weekend!

Three out of the seven cousins had a baby girl this past year. Emma (David & Denise's baby) was born in November and Jessica (Kathy & Hughie's baby) was born 6 days after Naomi. I got to meet both of these beautiful girls this weekend for the first time! The three girls got along great...I think the grandmothers had just as much fun! My Great-Aunt, June's daughter, Jennifer also had a baby girl (Eden)! Girls everywhere!!!

It was great to see everyone even if it was just a quick trip. We're so blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Ah, Family! I really have grown to like family gatherings. It's such a blessing to have lots of folks around that you have something in common with. Naomi looks like she had a good introduction into the MacDonald clan!

Ooooo that looks like fun! We have a family reunion every 3 years, and it's always the best time. Looks like Naomi has lots of cousins :)

Babies, babies everywhere! Naomi sure is sweet, and that little girl with the bonnet looks like a baby doll! Too cute.
