Merry Christmas to All. We had a lot of fun gatherings! Here are some of our pictures.

Fun Times with the Reinhardts!

Having fun times and enjoying beautiful weather!

Reinhardt

Nora at home....

Nora Grace is more beautiful every day. She has a petite round head. She is gaining weight and filling in. Liz is a "pro mom" already! And Eric is right there with her! We had a great weekend with Carolyn and Trish visiting. Trish will have some pictures later.

Nora Grace!

Praise God for Nora Grace. Born at 2:42 a.m. on 10 - 11 - 12!!!! 7 pounds, almost 20 inches, and beautiful.

Camping!

We had lots of fun at Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin. One of the highlights was watching Laura keep up with her siblings! She ran to catch up to them, talked a blue streak of gibberish, and pointed and pulled until she got them to do what she wanted! She is definitely going to be a leader! The kids enjoyed a beautiful cool hike through a gorge. And a couple of very relaxing afternoons at the Devil's Lake South Beach.

Weekend with Lilly and Zach....

We had a blast having Lilly and Zach spend the weekend at our house. We had popsicles every day and lots of sprinkler time. It was a real treat to have the kids here for Dan's birthday. Zach loves chocolate so he really enjoyed Dan's chocolate cake! I discovered that 1 year's olds are really good at taking the peas out of fresh pea pods. He loved it. And, he ate one whenever he liked. We had pizza and watched "Cars" for Dan's b'day. Very fun! Lilly and I started reading, "Misty of Chincoteague", one of my all time favorites! And we played Uno, Skipo, Reversi and Dominoes.

Grandma/Grandpa Camp

The Reinhardts are here for the week. We are keeping them busy! Bill came for the weekend and flew home Sunday night. We've got lots more to do before the rest of the Reinhardts depart on Sunday!

Celebrating!!!

We all had a fabulous time celebrating being together! Some of us enjoyed a big outing to the Presidio to see the 75th Golden Gate Bridge festivities. The highlight was being there to hear Mike's bagpipe band play!

Enjoying the city!

The weather has been super! Loving it.

Easter in Minnesota

We had a fun time with the Minnesota crew. We had a couple walks along the lakes including a family baseball game. We had a Reinhardt Easter brunch and a fun dinner with the Flynn family. Monday we took the light rail to the Mall and did rides, lunch and See's. Then we had dinner at Bill's favorite pizza place. We drove with Bill and Elena Flynn which was really fun! Very nice to have a shared reason to drive to Minneapolis!

The South Bend Kidlets

Dan and I had some picnic time with Zach and Lilly recently. We hung out on the Trinity grounds checking out St. Francis, picnicking on the new patio, and playing soccer on the field. Then we had a Dairy Queen treat. The other pictures are from a babysitting day with Zach and Lilly. Zach loves doing puzzles, and they both love Grandpa's rocker.

The Grandkids!

Lots of fun in Minnesota! Mardi Gras party and pretzel making. I got to walk Danny to school every day. The rest of us had a fun trip to the Mall of America. Carolyn and I enjoyed a shopping quest to find her a warm winter coat. And we had a great meal with a fun group of young women and some old friends from New Orleans.

Day on the North Shore, Oahu

Snorkeled at Turtle Bay. No turtle sightings but lots of fish. Luau at the Polynesian Center. Nancy and Tony let their light shine on stage. Their 40 years of bliss was highlighted.

Thinking of you all./....

Enjoying Kona!

Christmas and New Year's

We had such a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. It was very relaxed. It was great having time together and the kids kept us laughing!
