Oliveira Family Re-Union



Saturday afternoon the Oliveira clan got together in Petaluma for a family reunion.  Aunt Gloria and our cousin Michelle drove from Washington to visit, so it was the perfect time for all of us to see each other.






Olive, of course, was a hit.  Everyone wanted to hold her and couldn't believe what a well behaved baby she was.  What they don't know is that she didn't sleep that night AT ALL.  Hopefully it was just because of all the excitement from the afternoon.  Otherwise our well behaved baby might be turning into an insomniac.





Here's a picture of all the first cousins (Cindy, Michelle, Ross, Karen, me, and Debbie - the only one missing was Mark) and their parents (Dad, Sharon, Gloria, Mike), and all of our kids!  Nana and Papa would have been so happy to see all of us enjoying the gorgeous weather and each others company.




Debbie's puppy Buster was also a hit.  Especially with young Olive.  She could not get enough of him.  I think her second word might be doggy!





All in all, it was so good to see everyone.  It definitely made me feel like we should make more of an effort to see that side of the family more often!  It is hard to believe how long it had been.
