What happens when we all get together

Our extended family is huge. And when we get together, which we do nearly six times a year (on a good year), crazy things can happen.

For instance, Elliott was trying a new style. What do you think?

Here is Patrick - who was quite the trooper and yet required a lot of attention and entertainment.

Toby - aka The Gerber Baby - and his grandma. He's the sweetest baby ever!

Myself and Ava, Sara and Phil's dear little tyke. She's the most laid back baby ever.

And, as you can imagine, there ornery girls are up to no good! That's not true, but they are here lounging in my house, as we had a mini Gottschalk family reunion on Sunday, since Leslie (far right) was visiting Indiana for the first time in six months. I'll see her next at Thanksgiving in Arizona. The rest of them will catch up with her at Christmas, I think.
