Uncles and Aunts and Cousins Galore!

It's not that often that Michael and all of his siblings are together. The 5 of them live in 3 different states, so if he and his two sisters and two brothers do manage to be in the same place at the same time, it's even more remarkable when all their children are together, too, along with Grandma.

That's just what happened the other night. Megan, her family, and Grandma were in town from Florida, and Daniel is back to civilian life in Kentucky. We took the opportunity to have them all over for dinner and to see the house. We loved hosting all the family and sitting together (albeit snugly) around the dinner table.  Such an occasion is worthy of some posed photos -- even the kids cooperated!

Clockwise from top: Sophie, Hailey, Carter, Alyssa, Channing, Austin, Emma, Adam and Noah.

Thanks, guys, for all coming over!
