An Unplanned Reunion

Last weekend brought an unexpected surprise. Maren and Gavin returned from Europe very late Friday night, Anna, Rob, and family arrived from Reno Saturday afternoon, and Will and Jamie flew in from NC on Saturday as well. So on Saturday evening, what was going to be a birthday party for Maren and Beckham, turned into an impromptu family reunion. All of the SKT and DAT families gathered at our house for sliders, salad, and birthday cake. The surprise was having Will and Jamie whose visit was unknown to us, and having the Hastings make a sudden trip for Rob's grandpa's funeral. It all worked out splendidly and cousins of all ages were happy to be together again for the evening.

Happy birthday to almost everyone

This serendipitous reunion was as good as if it had been planned months in advance.

That's all for now.
