A Visit From California Kate

My sister, Kate, traveled to Ohio all the way from California to visit with family.

We were happy to have her visit the farm and stay overnight.

A picture with our Hittyville counterparts was in order...

At Pat and Cassi's house...

 It was fun to gather together...a rare event these days.

We missed our New York sister, Missy, but hope to have another reunion this summer.

 My sister, Cassi, recently returned from South America and shared some of her adventures with Noah.

 Brooke loves her nephew, Abe!

 Abe is standing up!

 I hope that is a love pinch...

 Pizza party!

 We also celebrated Pat's birthday...

 Kids love kids...

 Abe is becoming so mobile...Such a face.

Notice the sock on the table?  Abe is happiest when wearing just one sock...

Go figure.

Kate was thrilled to finally meet Abe...but missed her own grandson back in California.

What little doubt Kate had about her move to California was totally erased during her weekend visit.  While her past is deeply rooted in Ohio, Kate's present is definitely blooming way out West.

A huge thanks to Pat and Cassi for hosting the gathering.

~It was a special time with the extended family~
