On our way back from sabbatical in California last August we stopped at our cousin Sabrina's house. Here are a couple pictures of Phoenix and Layla's first meeting.

We didn't get to stay for very long, but I was very glad to see them. Sabrina has had the baby since these pictures were taken. Baby Charles was a healthy Eight pounds and three ounces.

This is Layla with her grandma, my Aunt Rhonda. We didn't get to spend much time with her because it was late when we came in and she had to get up really early in the morning. She works in Oregon for eight months a year, and then lives in Canada the rest of the time. Sometimes we are lucky and get to see her when she is passing through
.
Phoenix really like Layla's toys. Too bad he would much rather go backward than forward.
