Family trip to Virginia Beach to see Family

In June, we headed back East for a Family Reunion. On the extended Roberts side, I think 9 out of 11 cousins, 5 fathers and 1 grandfather. Plus 3 girlfriends, 1 boyfriend, and numerous Aunts, mothers and 2! grandmothers were present and accounted for.

First, the cousins (second cousin Ella too!):

Can't believe I didn't take a picture of Krista singing. Sorry Krista. But, I think I got a shot of you and your friend doing amazing athletic feats of rolling downhill (see glimpse of smiling face up and left of Budweiser).

A few girlfriends are scattered throughout, didn't get a picture of the lone fiance/boyfriend, Chris either. Shoot!

 Next, in honor of Father's Day (which we celebrated while there), the Fathers/Grandfathers:

Next, the Fabulous Just-Moms:

  

 Kat, I know you are a cousin, as well as a Mom. But, that's what you get. I've only got room for a certain number of categories. Mom it is!

And, introducing, the "looking good" Mom/Grandmothers!

And finally, to top it all off: the single, one and only Mon/Grand/Great-Grand Mother!

Okay, can't resist- they are my children after all:

First a profile of pink, featuring Emma Williamson.

Spring-time goings on

Here is an update of recent spring-time photos:

Activites include Emma's school music recital, her ballet performance, photos from (finally being able to hang out) outside, and Bike Week.

What's going on with Emma

Above is video of Emma "expressing" herself and her interest in stage acting/musicals. A girl after my own heart. One of my favorites of all time is "Pirates of Penzance" (spelling?).

She is also tending towards comments, such as "that is just the way I am, mom". Her comment responding to me asking her to modify her behavior. Such as jumping on the couch or yelling in the house. Hmmmm.

I am working on blog posts from the IPad. Pretty sweet. The blog app has a writing function. Here is what it looks like:

Okay, back to Emma:

Emma with a box on her head. I believe this also was supposed to be pirat-ish.

Willa turns One!

Here is the Cross-Williamson connection, part II. The blog is out of order now. This was in March.

Willa is Phoebe's little sister. She is 3 months older than Lilly. Willa is a character. Phoebe is a great big sister. Just like Emma is to Lilly.

Here are some pics from the Cafe Francaise, in Bozeman. Run by Francoise, from France. And friend of our Francoise, also from France!
