Emmy & Laura are helping clean up family headstones before a reunion.

Emmy loved feeding treats to Mogli. Mogli loved being fed treats.
We had to keep an eye on Emily. She would start signing 'puppy' and then run down the hall and out the door to find Mogli. It just made her day to feed him.

Yeah! Look what I found! Digging through Grandma's new kitchen. Finding pots and pans is like striking it rich to a toddler.

Grandma has a fancy card shuffler. It makes noise when you push the button. Grandma had fun with Emmy.

Here she is pushing that noisy button with Grandma.
We headed south on this trip for a family reunion. It was good. We got to meet a lot of family that we had not seen for years. Some of them hadn't been together for decades.

Emily and some of her cousins having fun in the sun.

Angel got soaked during the water fight. It was fun, and the perfect way to cool off during the day.

What can I say, I just liked this picture. Some of the kids had to sleep with furry blankets after this, but the dogs loved it.

This is a classic Emmy moment. Having fun with the dog.
One highlight of the trip was spending Father's day with Dad. Due to the machinations of my sister we were able to get most of the family together. It just took some extra computers, pointing cameras and each other, and a slightly over taxed internet connection. But it was good to get everyone together.

How we gathered from around the world for Father's Day.
We made it out to the Griffith Park Observatory one evening. That was a fun trip. I had wanted to go for years. However it was shut down for renovation until a few years ago and we hadn't had the chance before moving up to Washington. So we met up with some friends and paid the observatory a visit. Taking three children under 3 years old around made it a little more work than normal, and it made it hard to look at each exhibit, but it was nice. Emmy found lots of buttons to push, with some of them she could even see the results of pushing the button.

A young scientist at work. Does Albert Einsteins' nose make a noise when you pinch it?
