This is a week late, but I wanted to share some photos of our day with Andre's family last Monday. His sister and her family were driving through on their way back from vacation and stayed a couple of nights with Andre's cousin, Ella, who lives about an hour from us. So we went out there to spend the day and visit with everyone. We haven't seen Olga and her family in almost two years!!! For one reason or another, we haven't been able to make the trip up north, and with their 6 kids and a huge remodeling project on their new house, it's difficult for them to get down here.
We had such a great day together and Jack loved playing with his cousins (who he only ever sees on Skype!!). Everyone loved meeting Sophia too and she lapped up all the attention! I really enjoyed spending time with Olga and seeing how much her kids have grown up recently.

| We had a delicious Russian lunch complete with salo (bacon fat) which Sophie LOVED! Her great-grandpa, Deada, was very proud when he heard she ate it! |

Thank you for hosting us all Ella! We had such a special time together and hope it won't be so long before we do it again!
P.S. Ella and her husband are professional photographers and she did an impromptu photo shoot of all of us...will post a few of those soon.
