At last - the remaining photos from our trip to Texas!

Here they are! :-) Nothing too exciting, but I've finally finished uploading all the photos from our holiday. Guess it's about time, since we've been home for 2+ weeks!

Peter, me and Deborah

my beautiful little princess, if I do say so myself! ;-) And yes, she *is* as sweet as she looks! :-D


My brother Nathanael (Nat) with a plate of delicious mexican food, though it's hiding here! We were at my Aunt Josie's for lunch.

My brother Gerrit and my sister Anna, with our cousin Josie (Uncle Steve's daughter)


My cousin John Rudy (Aunt Josie's younger son), holding Deborah

Deborah and Clement

Benjamin and Deborah

Anna (my step-mum) with Abigail

most of us who were at Aunt Josie's for lunch that day. Uncle Steve (my mom's oldest brother) and his daughter Josie are at the right of the photo


Aunt Josie (my mom's oldest sister) and her younger son John Rudy


Me and my sister Leah with our lovely children! :-) There's nothing more special than being able to experience motherhood together with your sister! (if that makes sense!)


Grandma Betty (my mom's mother) and Aunt Rosemary (Grandma Betty's sister) together with Abigail and Clement


my adorable niece Shona :-)


Grandma Betty and Aunt Rosemary with Leah's girls (Brooklyn and Shona)


Clement and Shona in a basket! They had *so* much fun together!


And our babies (Deborah and Brooklyn) playing together too!


even sharing the same toy!


Cowboy Benjamin! (tho too hot for jeans! Well, for Benjamin anyway - who overheats *very* easily.)


Two sets of "twins" - my boys with Brooklyn and Deborah in the middle


Twin cousins


Aunt Mary Lou - my great aunt (sister to my mom's father) holding Deborah


Uncle Pete and Aunt Nia (another sister of my mom's father)


Leah wearing Brooklyn on her back, in her new Ergo Performance carrier


A random shot of people at our famiy gathering the Friday before we left to come home.


and again, left to right: Dad and Anna (with Josh talking behind them), Grandpa and Grammie (my dad's parents), Aunt Terry and Uncle Ernie (dad's brother) and my cousin Jett



and a front shot of most of the same people


random shot again


And last, but certainly *not* least, my lovely brother Nat, holding Deborah! :-)

And so ends my collection of photos from Texas (together with the post just below with NASA photos). Sometime soon I must post a few photos from Benjamin's 4th birthday, which was last week.
