6 of the sisters and their families came together this past weekend because of Allyson's wedding. It was a little crazy at times, but it was good family time. We also got to hang out with the Hui & Mah family which has gotten to be rare as everyone gets older.

On Friday, the Chous drove in just in time to attend the Eng/Kwang evening wedding. We left Faith, Nathan, and Brandon with 4 college girls. It was the first time we've left Faith with a babysitter, but thankfully everything went very smoothly. Special shoutouts go to: Liz, Steph, Julian, and Merrie!

On Saturday, we hung around the house in the morning, had Dim Sum in Chinatown, and then throughout the afternoon family members trickled into our home. Since the Mahs and Huis hadn't seen Faith or the house, they made a special trip to come visit us. Around 6ish, we finally made it to the swimming pool and grilled some burgers & hot dogs under the pavillion. Other family friends joined us for the fun. Afterwards, the kids played at the park and the guys played football. We headed back to the house where we had jello, popsicles, and cherry cheesecake. We finished off the night with a game of Big 2 where no one remembered the rules.

Sunday morning all the kids were up bright and early. We ate breakfast together, packed up, and headed out. The house was very quiet when everyone left.

Mom, Dad, Elena, Rodney, & Reu...we missed you!

Hooray for great family time! I know those times are few and far between now that everyone's spread across the globe. Faith's hair is wild! I love it!
