A New Generation of Playgroups

One of the reasons I was glad to move back home was I was going to be able to spend time with my family. So, I organized a playgroup with some of my cousins and their kids. I hosted the first one this week and five of my cousins were able to make it. It was so nice to see everyone and I love that our kids will grow up and be buddies. We are planning to schedule one each week!

Ava is a mini-me of her mom, Buffy

Anna and Kate

One of two Annas there. Our Anna took a few steps before sitting down!

Buffy (awaiting baby #3 in a few weeks!) holding Kate

Angela loves all babies

Anna, Cecilia, Bella and Rebecca (Ava watching the older girls from behind...she was too scared to get any closer)

Jack giving Rebecca a hug

The moms (minus myself) and a few kids

An attempt at a picture of 16 kids under the age of 5:
