New places, new faces

During our travels this summer, we were able to meet some members of our extended family. Some we met for the very first time, others for the first time that we can remember.

From Peterborough we took the train North to York. There we met up with Daddy's aunt, Auntie Pat. We visited the National Railway Museum and walked around the Shambles. We also met Auntie Pat's daughter Clare, and Clare's baby boy. Unfortunately they had to leave before we thought to take a group photo. Here is a photo of us with Grandma and Auntie Pat and Grandad in a garden in York.


Before this trip, we most recently saw Daddy's sister Auntie Tracey in 2004. We were very little then. Since then we had spoken to her on the telephone and sent her cards and photos and drawings, but we were very excited to see her in person again! We enjoyed teaching Auntie Tracey all about Webkinz, playing at the park near her flat, and going on several outings together. Here is a photo of us with Grandma and Grandad and Auntie Tracey at the Butterfly and Wildlife Park in Spalding.


In Connecticut we were very excited to see our cousin Máté again. We were doubly excited to meet his baby sister Hannah as well. She was very cute. I loved to hold her and play with her. I always thought she was talking to me. She must be very smart. She slept through most of our photos. Here is a photo of the four cousins. Hannah was watching us dance around to songs from Disney movies. I think we tired her out.


Hannah was baptized during our visit, so many other relatives came as well. Her other grandparents, Pista bácsi and Éva néni, came from Toronto. We enjoyed reading stories with them and playing in the back yard.













Mummy's cousin Kati néni came from New Jersey. We also met her when we were in Cleveland, but we didn't take any photos then. Here is a photo of Mummy's cousin holding our cousin.


We are so glad that our lives were enriched by meeting these members of our family. We hope that we will see you all again soon!
