Some Family Pictures from New York

We have been in NY for almost three weeks now and I am just getting some pictures up. These are some family pictures from Grandma Ede's house and when we took family pictures at church. Of course there are many more to come when I get a chance.

It has been a great trip. We always love coming home to New York and hanging out with everyone. The girls really love having all their aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grammy and Poppy around.

Aunt Patti, Silken, and Fletch.

The Rathgeber siblings with Grandma.

Colt enjoying some food. He has really started eating lots of food since we got here. He wants everything and always ends up messy like this. He really loves bagels, which he has had plenty of since we got here. He has been so good and so happy. He goes to everyone and is a happy smiley baby all day. He isn't sleeping great so that's a bummer but at least he is happy while he is awake.

Enjoying the traditional yoohoo at Grandmas. For as long as I can remember every time we went to Grandma's house we had yoohoo. She always has a supply on hand for kiddos. I got to go to the cemetery with Grandma to put flowers on Grandpa's grave on his birthday, July 27th. I didn't remember to bring my camera so I didn't get a picture of the head stone but hopefully next time. It is always nice to go and

Hannah in her beautiful baptism dress. We are so proud of you Hannah for the awesome decision you made to be baptized.

Playing on the phone at Grandma Ede's house. She was obsessed with the phone there. We would have one of us call the house phone from a cell phone and she would love to answer it and talk up a storm, mostly about puppies of course!

And Rachel still can't get enough of her uncles. She wanted to marry Rich and then found out he was already married to Erin. Before he got here she would tell everyone he was a liar because he said he would marry me but he already married Erin. She didn't want to talk about him because she was mad at him. After he showed up she forgot all about it and was attached to his hip again. She then said she would marry Charlie! She loves playing with all of them. Josh and Katie have been really busy working on their new house so we have missed them at home lots of times. When Josh was around she loved hanging on him too. And not to leave out their aunts because these girls love their aunties too. They always have so much fun with all of them and love being with them, they just want to marry the boys! Rachel knows you marry boys, Livy sometimes wants to marry Grammy still!

Danny is so happy to have everyone around. He loves having all of his brothers here especially for the bus in the morning. All of the cousins came to our house for a few nights to hang out and Dan loved it. He walked around and said hi to everyone and was so happy in all the noise and commotion.

Colt loves the water. He didn't get to spend enough time in the water this trip but loved any time he did get. He loves just hanging out in it and splashing around. And of course loves watching the other kids jumping a swimming around.

 

Best buddies Katie and Hannah. These two did everything together including lots of sleepovers. When Silken came the second week then all three of them were always together.

I love the bangs girls. Makes me want to try some!

Livy!
